Case Number: 24STCV25014 Hearing Date: April 10, 2025 Dept: 58
Case Name: Dongguan Junte Trade Co.,
Ltd. v. Mi in Fashion, Inc.
Case Number: 24STCV25014
Date:
Defendant(s) Against Whom Default Judgment is Sought: Defendant Mi
in Fashion, Inc., NCL Group, Inc., Hyun S. Lee, Tommy Yang, Young Mi Lee
The Court GRANTS default judgment in the reduced
amount of $235,482.82.
The request for $229,344.57 reflects the amount
claimed in the Complaint and is supported by sufficient evidence. (Evidence
does not support recovery under the false promise cause of action.) (Wen Decl.,
¶¶ 4-42, 50.)
While Plaintiff’s request for attorney fees in the
amount of $4,183.45 is consistent with LASC 3.214, here, attorney fees were
sought and only recoverable pursuant to Civil Code section 1717.5, which is
limited to $1,200 on this “action based on a book account.” (Lee Decl., ¶ 10.) (There is no contractual attorney fee
provision.) Plaintiff also requests interest in the amount of $6,911.75; this
amount has been properly substantiated. (Wen Decl., ¶ 49 [interest at 10%
accruing from the date of filing the Complaint].)
Lastly, Plaintiff has properly substantiated its
request for costs in the amount of $754.80. (CIV-100, ¶ 7; Lee Decl., ¶ 11.)
