$3.5M default judgment vs IPI

Share

A Mongolia-based construction company who served as a contractor for Imperial Pacific International (CNMI) LLC was granted a $3.5-million default judgment in the lawsuit it filed against the casino investor.

The Superior Court Clerk of Court granted yesterday a default judgement of $3,598,712.66 in favor of Junson Construction LLC.

“Based on plaintiff’s motion for Default Judgment by Clerk of Court pursuant to rule 14 55(b)(1) and the supporting affidavit, default judgment is hereby entered against defendant Imperial Pacific International Holdings Limited in the amount of $3,598,712.66,” the motion stated.

Back in 2019, Junson began its work as a contractor for the Best Sunshine project on an H2-B visa on Saipan. The company hired hundreds of Mongolian workers to aid in the construction of the Best Sunshine casino in Garapan.

In 2021, the former IPI contractor sued the casino investor and its mother company, Imperial Pacific International Holdings Ltd., for breach of contract.

The construction company filed for default judgement on the grounds that IPI failed to respond to its claims.
