AI Summary
This assignment requires the preparation of documentation for a default judgment in Ontario's Small Claims Court. As a newly licensed paralegal, the student represents Manuel Lopez, a DJ, who is seeking to collect an unpaid invoice from Anna Johnstone and Belinda Cosmo for DJ services. The assignment involves noting the defendants in default after they failed to file a defense, calculating pre-judgment interest, and drafting the default judgment (Form 11B). The invoice was for $1,750.00 plus HST, and the claim was issued on December 20, 2019. The student must apply the Rules of Civil Procedure regarding default judgments, liquidated claims, and the calculation of pre- and post-judgment interest. The solution includes the completed Form 11B, reflecting the debt, pre-judgment interest, costs, and total amount owed, as well as the correct post-judgment interest rate.
