Plaintiff
Defendant
Facts: Ningbo Zhelun Overseas Immigration Service Co. Ltd. and Mega International Labor and Immigration Services Inc., alleged fraud in immigration and investment consulting services provided by USA-Canada International Investment Inc. and others. Zhelun claimed it transferred over $10 million to the defendants, which was not returned, involving false immigration applications and investment schemes.
Issue: The legal issues include the admissibility of claims, the amendment of pleadings to include additional parties, and the validity of the assignment agreements for transferring clients' claims to the plaintiffs.
Court's Ruling: The court permitted the amendment of pleadings to add new plaintiffs and defendants, correct naming errors, and address the assignment of claims. It recognized the necessity of these amendments to resolve the case effectively, despite concerns about the delay and the potential loss of limitation defenses by the defendants.
Costs/Damages Awarded: The document does not specify the exact amount of costs or damages awarded. The decision focused on procedural aspects, like the amendment of pleadings and addition of parties, rather than on financial awards.
