Background: The Boxmaker, Inc. ("Boxmaker") applied for a summary trial to resolve a dispute over non-payment of an invoice. Prime Packaging Company Ltd. ("Racer Boxes") and Austin Tran opposed this, citing credibility issues and a counterclaim for damages.

Legal Arguments/Issues: Boxmaker argued for summary judgment, while Racer Boxes contended that the case was unsuitable for summary trial due to unresolved credibility issues and incomplete expert reports on damages. Racer Boxes' counterclaim centered on delays and defects in a box order that led to lost business.

Held: The court found an evidentiary gap regarding Boxmaker’s credit check process and deemed the matter unsuitable for summary trial. The application for summary judgment was dismissed. Racer Boxes were awarded costs at Scale B.

Costs/Award: The total amount of costs awarded to Racer Boxes was at Scale B, though the exact monetary value was not specified in the judgment.
