Background: Plaintiffs Roger Wong and Cecilia Wong sued Multani & Caldeira Developments Inc., Hael Construction Inc., and Lakhwinder Singh (also known as Michael Singh or Michael Multani) over disputes related to the construction of a laneway home. The plaintiffs claimed breach of contract and fiduciary duty.

Legal Arguments/Issues: The primary legal issues centered around whether Mr. Singh was properly served with the claim and whether the default judgment against him should be set aside. Mr. Singh argued he was not properly served and had meritorious defenses to contest the claim. He also claimed there was a prior settlement agreement that resolved all issues, thus nullifying any claims. Contradictory evidence was presented regarding Mr. Singh's service. However, it was acknowledged he was aware of the lawsuit shortly after it was initiated. The default judgment initially granted on September 29, 2021, was contested by Mr. Singh, leading to legal deliberations on setting it aside based on procedural fairness and the interests of justice.

Conclusion: The court set aside the default judgment against Mr. Singh, permitting him to file a response. The judge directed Mr. Singh to file his response within seven days from the judgment date.

Costs/Damages Awarded: No specific costs or award totals were mentioned; instead, the costs of the application were to be in the cause, indicating they would be determined later in the proceedings.
