Facts of the Case

Background

The plaintiff supplied goods to the first defendant on credit under a verbal agreement from 2010 and later a written credit facility agreement from July 2011, secured by a mortgage bond over the second defendant's property. The plaintiff claimed USD$132,813.34 for goods supplied, alleging the defendants made fraudulent misrepresentations and fictitious payments. The defendants denied indebtedness and claimed they had paid all invoices, but could not provide proof of payment for many transactions, claiming receipts were destroyed by rats.
