Issue

Our client, a car dealership, had delivered four cars to a prospective buyer but had not yet received payment. On follow-up, they found that the cars had been loaded on board a shipping vessel that would be leaving for central Europe.

Our Approach

We acted swiftly to request an injunction and mandatory order from the court to prevent the vessel from leaving with our client’s cars aboard.

Result

The court granted the injunction and issued the mandatory order preventing the shipping of the cars before payment had been made. This prevented a loss to our client that would have exceeded $200,000—with little, if any, hope of ultimate recovery.
