15. To facilitate the understanding of the following and simplify the text, the undersigned

designate the defendants collectively 6963251 Canada Inc.., Pierre Heafey and SamirChowieri as "the Heafey Group" is the designation used by Justice in Riordan herendered judgments in the case of bankruptcy Resort (500-11-033664-083subsequently transferred to the folder 550-11-011642-098), respectively, provided asExhibit P-24a) ( Judgement of 5 December 2008), Exhibit P-24b) (Judgement ofDecember 10, 2008 and Exhibit P-24c) (Judgement of 17 March 2009);

II BASIS OF THIS APPEAL

18. The plaintiffs argue that the defendant Rheal Dallaire has violated the agreement of14 March 2008 and that the defendants conspired with Pierre Heafey, Samir and thedefendant Chowieri 6963251 Canada Inc.. to get out of this agreement which bound himto applicants;

19. Moreover, it appears that the defendant Noubar Boyadjian was actively involved inthis conspiracy, that applicants have gradually learned that from the fall of 2008,following the various decisions and actions of the latter;

20. By their actions, the defendants caused damage to plaintiffs for which they seekcompensation in accordance with the conclusions found herein;

III INITIAL JUDGEMENT OF THE HONOURABLE RIORDAN

21. As appears from the decision of December 5, 2008 the Honourable Brian Riordan,

Page 4: Heafey Group-Samir Chowieri forced to repay millions by Quebec Court for fraud

7/16/2019 Heafey Group-Samir Chowieri forced to repay millions by Quebec Court for fraud.

JSC, Exhibit P-24a), to argue for the purposes hereof as if recited here in full, it seemsclear (see paragraph 12 of decision) Dallaire that the defendant unilaterally decided tostop complying with the agreement Exhibit P-1;

22. Indeed, the Honorable Judge Riordan acknowledges, in paragraph 13 of its

decision, that in the weeks following the signing of Exhibit P-1, Dallaire, Heafey andChowieri have explored avenues to get rid of the applicants and to acquire the assets ofthe hotel;

23. Accordingly, many agreements are reached between Dallaire and Heafey Groupbetween March 14, 2008 and the date of the bankruptcy Resort, including an agreementdated May 2, 2008, copy of which is provided as Exhibit P-25, by which Heafey Grouptabled an offer to purchase the assets of Resort;

24. The Honorable Judge Riordan is also particular attention to the sale of receivablesagreement dated August 11, 2008 between Dallaire and Heafey Group, agreements

already provided as Exhibit P-16, while mentioning that the evidence revealed that theterms this agreement, or similar, had been agreed between the parties before thebankruptcy of Resort;

25. For Judge Riordan, it is clear that at the end of March 2008, Dallaire was negotiatingwith the Heafey Group to dispose of the agreement with the plaintiffs, Exhibit P-1;

26. The Honorable Judge Riordan doubts at various times in his trial, Dallaire'scredibility, including in paragraph 33 of that decision which outlines the reasons thatwould justify its conflict with the applicants;

27. The credibility of the testimony of the defendant Chowieri was also questioned bythe judge Riordan when it vehemently denied the existence of a partnership betweenGroupe Heafey and Dallaire before the bankruptcy (see paragraphs 31 and 35Judgement);

28. Judge Riordan grant no more credibility to the testimony of the defendant Heafey,especially given the contradictions in his testimony, as appears from paragraph 34 ofthe trial;

29. Moreover, for the Court, all these contradictions surrounding the testimony ofdefendants Chowieri, Dallaire Heafey and contribute greatly to the demonstration thatthese three individuals had decided to Resort bankrupt to get rid of the agreementbetween the plaintiffs to the defendant Dallaire;

30. For Judge Riordan, the truth is found in the conversation that Mr. Dallaire had withPeter Wilk, July 7, 2008, all as appears from paragraph 51 of the trial; copy of thetranscript of that conversation is already reported as Exhibit P-17;

31. Moreover, again in paragraph 46 of decision, Judge Riordan wrote:

"The Court Rather Comes to the conclusion That, HAVING failed to overturn theJudgement in the Bédard Court of Appeal, Dallaire Realized That His only hope forgetting the Heafey Group Into the driver's seat WAS Through the Bankruptcy Act. "

32. Given the agreement between the Group and Heafey Dallaire about the assignment

of the receivables of the latter, Exhibit P-16, Groupe Heafey saw himself thus giving aveto over any proposal or vote in the bankruptcy (see paragraph 48 of Judgement);

33. The Honorable Judge Riordan concluded that this strategy of using bankruptcy toavoid the agreement of March, Exhibit P-1, was probably thinking and recommended bythe defendants and Chowieri Heafey, two players of experience in this area, all asappears from paragraph 50 of the trial;

34. In conclusion, the Honorable Judge Riordan said, in paragraph 51 of its Judgement,the following:

"We find Dallaire That Used the law in bad faith and improper purpose for a year, ie,valid legal obligations to Avoid with the ultimate goal of Advancing personal history overInterests of Those Either the company, of Which He Was a director, or of STIsCreditors. "

35. Specifically, the Honorable Judge Riordan states at paragraph 53 of its Judgement:

"The present case IS Clearly one Where the bankruptcy process has-been abused inorder to AVOID compliance with contractual obligations of a director. This abuse Is Allthe more objectionable in light of the Fact That, Had Been RespectED Thoseobligations, this Likely Would Have Rendered the company viable and profitablePerhaps, saving jobs and satisfying Creditors' claims. It Is in the public interest tosanction Such Behaviour. "

36. It is in this context that the Honorable Judge Riordan ordered a bidding process topurchase the assets of Resort between the two parts, one part of the plaintiffs and'autrehand, Heafey Group, as appears more fully on pages 13 and following the decision ofDecember 5, 2008, Exhibit 24a);

IV PARTICIPATION IN THE CONSPIRACY Heafey Group

37. The defendants Pierre Heafey and Samir Chowieri were therefore associated withthe defendant Rheal Dallaire to take over the assets of Resort and force the withdrawalof the project applicants Association of March 14, 2008;

38. In addition, the defendants Pierre Heafey and Samir Chowieri knew about theagreement of March 14, 2008, Exhibit P-1, since the beginning of their association withthe defendant Rheal Dallaire;

39. Moreover, when one of his first conversations with Samir Chowieri, Dormani theapplicant was advised that it had signed an agreement with Rheal Dallaire;

40. The defendants Rheal Dallaire, Pierre Heafey and Samir Chowieri have the audacityto make a fraudulent bankruptcy Resort with the help and the intervention of the trusteeNoubar Boyadjian and this, for the sole purpose to thwart the decision ( ...) interlocutoryMay 13, 2008 made by the Honourable Martin Bédard, JCS, the District of Hull in the file

550-17-003809-082 (...) copy of the decision being communicated as Exhibit P-26;41. The trial of Ginsberg Gingras named Chantal Gingras as interim receiver of theassets of Resort, in accordance with the powers were granted by Judge Bédard;

42. The decision of Judge Bédard was confirmed by the Honourable Louise Otis, JCA,which dismissed an application for leave to appeal by the defendant Dallaire, June 13,2008, on file 500-09-018682-088; copy this decision is communicated as Exhibit P-27;

43. The Honourable Justice Otis stated in paragraph 9 of the trial, the following:

"A measure of the provisional nature of sequestration is exceptional, short-term andshould be used to prevent a situation rendering the final verdict ineffective. As the caseis almost ready and completed the interviews, it seems important, in the particularcontext of this case, the permanent injunction is heard primarily in reality in the comingweeks. "

44. But rather than proceed with the hearing of this permanent injunction, the defendantDallaire, assisted by the Group and the trustee Boyadjan Heafey, conducted in the daysfollowing the decision of the Honorable Judge Otis, a sale of assets Resort, under theBankruptcy and Insolvency Act;

45. Obviously, the plan of the defendants Dallaire, Heafey and Chowieri was to makebankruptcy Resort and then buy its assets;

46. In short, at all relevant times, defendants Dallaire, (...) The Heafey Group and thetrustee Boyadjian have plotted together to exclude applicants of the agreement P-1;

He also confirmed an agreement between Pierre Heafey, Rheal Dallaire and he, withoutrevealing the contents of the agreement;

88. On July 3, 2008 at 15h, following the bankruptcy of Resort, a second meeting washeld between the two men at 1185 de la Verendrye East, this time. The offer of a million

dollars is repeated and was again denied by the applicant. The defendant then saidSamir Chowieri the applicant Nader A. Dormani that because of bankruptcy, it will loseall his investment and that he and his henchmen will start again. He asked the applicantwhat he wants. The latter replied that he wants his 51%, according to the contract, andthe defendant submits Chowieri then a new offer: 1 / 3 of the project applicant, 1 / 3 thedefendant Heafey and 1 / 3 the defendant Chowieri , denied the plaintiff's offer. At thatsame meeting, the defendant confirmed to the applicant Chowieri Nader A. Dormani theagreement he has with the defendant Rheal Dallaire to the effect that he and PierreHeafey (Samir Chowieri) will give $ 1 million to Rheal Dallaire when they takepossession of the assets of Resort and if Rheal Dallaire sells 40 condos within a periodof six months, they will pay him two millions. A very similar agreement was signed

between Samir moreover Chowieri and Rheal Dallaire, as appears from the agreementof August 11, 2008 to the parties by leaving a copy at the meaning of this and producedtheir support as Exhibit P-16;

89. The defendant Rheal Dallaire has confirmed to Mr Peter Wilk, in a telephoneconversation that was recorded by the latter, the bankruptcy Resort was made for thesole purpose of getting rid of the applicants and also confirmed the involvement of thedefendant Pierre Heafey in the pending acquisition of Château Cartier. The defendantRheal Dallaire has made the following remarks by talking about the failure of "ChâteauCartier": "It Is A Planned bankruptcy. It Is to end the thing with Nader Dormani. (...) Sowhat we DID WAS we made the company insolvent in order to make it go from underthe Protection Act. Having that - HAVING done that, we just got rid of we-historicalagreement or the agreement Potential. "And later in that same conversation, thedefendant Dallaire said, referring presumably Pierre Heafey," Peter Is The buying one.", all as appears from the transcript of that telephone conversation that took place July7, 2008, communicated by leaving a copy to the parties and filed in support hereof asExhibit P-17;

90. In paragraph 29 of its decision of December 5, 2008, the Honorable Judge Riordanhad said the following on this discussion of the July 7, 2008:

"At trial, Dallaire Tried to wiggle out of the predicament this conversation Creates ForHim, His purpose Explanations, however earnest, Lose Their air When viewed in thelight of the facts in Other proof"

91. The defendant Pierre Heafey confirmed by letter over the (...) defendant, 6963251Canada Inc.., Dated May 12, 2008, will buy the debt of approximately $ Parscom to five(5) million, all as appears from the letter of 12 May 2008 addressed to Mr. RhealDallaire, to the parties by leaving a copy at the significance of this support and producedas Exhibit P-18;

92. In the days following the appointment of Chantal Gingras as trustee interim, in May2008, a meeting took place between me and Andre Gingras Dormani Nader at theChateau Cartier;

93. At that meeting, Mr. Gingras has advised Mr. Dormani it would be better to settle the

matter, failing which would make Pierre Heafey Resort bankrupt;94. It was also during this meeting that for the first time, Rheal Dallaire has invoked alease between Resort and one of his companies, Château Cartier Development, whichallowed him to stay put;

95. In short, the defendants and Samir Chowieri Pierre Heafey, who knew full well that acontract existed between the plaintiffs and the defendant Rheal Dallaire, were stillassociated with the defendant Rheal Dallaire to take over the assets of Resort toapplicants, such that it appears from the offer to purchase business by 6963251Canada inc. for Resort Investors International ULC with respect to the "Château

Cartier," prepared as of May 2, 2008, to the parties by leaving a copy at the significanceof this support and produced as Exhibit P-19;

96. Pierre Heafey and Samir Chowieri have confirmed their intention to applicants at allcosts to acquire the Chateau Cartier, they have also managed to December 10, 2008,with the help of trustee Noubar Boyadjian ;

VIII TRUSTEE'S ROLE IN THE Boyadjian FILE BANKRUPTCY OF RESORT

97. Unfortunately, although Judge Riordan will be asked about the role of the trusteeNoubar Boyadjian folder (see paragraph 26 of Judgement Exhibit P-24a) one couldsuspect that the said trustee was closely linked to the defendants and that any theprocess it had developed by his trial was doomed to failure, with regard to applicants;

98. Indeed, the plaintiffs could not come out ahead of the bidding process, as will bedemonstrated more fully in the investigation and hearing, given the active role of thetrustee to defend the position of the Group Heafey,;

99. It is for this reason that the plaintiffs have made no offer to purchase the assetsResort in the bidding process established by the judge Riordan, all as more fullyexplained below;

100. As mentioned above, the Honorable Judge Riordan questioned the role of thetrustee in the bankruptcy case of Resort;

101. Indeed, as appears from paragraphs 40 and 41 of the Judgement of 5 December2008 (Exhibit P-24a), Judge Riordan said it is surprising that the trustee has notcommunicated with the interim receiver, Chantal Gingras before the bankruptcy,especially given the decision of the Honorable Judge Bédard (Exhibit P-26), especiallysince he had read and he was aware of the appointment of interim receiver;

102. Judge Riordan asks more about the omission of the trustee, since according toinformation that had been submitted by the defendant Dallaire, namely the financialstatements Resort in December 2007, provided for the purposes hereof as Exhibit P -28, the hotel had net income after taxes of $ 583 729 in 2007;

103. However, as already mentioned, the Honorable Judge Riordan was not awarewhen he filed his trial the real role of the trustee Noubar Boyadjian on the issue ofbankruptcy Resort, since this information has been known applicants that following thedecision of December 5, 2008 (Exhibit 24a):

104. Indeed, following this ruling, the plaintiffs began to question more seriously theactions of the trustee Boyadjian, as part of its management of the bankruptcy case ofResort;

105. Initially, it appears that the defendant Dallaire at the time of the sale of goodsResort, was himself an undischarged bankrupt prior to bankruptcy;

106. Although the trustee Boyadjian had access to this information, it is omitted,neglected or decided not to withhold such information, he could not ignore the fact thatRheal Dallaire was an undischarged bankrupt;

107. Given his state of undischarged bankrupt, the defendant Dallaire could not act as adirector of Resort;

108. In retrospect, it appears that the trustee Boyadjian was recommended by RhealDallaire Pierre Heafey and that the latter's request that would have mandated RhealDallaire;

109. In the days preceding the bankruptcy Resort, there were even meetings anddiscussions between Dallaire, Heafey Boyadjian and the trustee;

110. However, during one of his testimony before the Honorable Judge Riordan, thetrustee Boyadjian said he had never met Mr. Heafey to discuss this issue before thebankruptcy Resort, which is perjury on the part of Boyadjian trustee, who is an officer of

 justice;

111. According to information recently obtained by the plaintiffs, before the involvementof Noubar Boyadjian folder, Rheal Dallaire and his attorneys believed they couldcircumvent the agreement of 14 March 2008 and thus get rid of the plaintiffs by placingResort under the protection of Arrangement Act with the Companies' Creditors. It wouldNoubar Boyadjian, following the mandate given to it, which would have suggested thebankruptcy outright Resort, given that the intention of Rheal Dallaire and Pierre Heafeywas to get rid of Dormani not restructure Resort which did not need restructuring at thattime, particularly in view of the arrangement P-1;

112. Moreover, the trustee would Boyadjian suggested opening the bankruptcy case inthe district of Montreal rather than that of Hull, all to facilitate the monitoring and

management of the case and also to evade the jurisdiction of judges Hull following thedecision of the Honorable Judge Bédard, had knowledge of the facts of the case andthe criminal past of Dallaire;

113. To allow the introduction of the file in the district of Montreal, the trustee Boyadjian

Rheal Dallaire recommended to proceed with the change of address of registered officeResort, which was made on the morning of June 27, 2008, or in the hours preceding thefiling of the assignment Resort, which filing was done electronically by the trusteeBoyadjian;

114. Also prior to the filing of the assignment for the Resort, the trustee would BoyadjianRheal Dallaire also recommended to get the former owners of Château Cartierassignments of the shareholder have a value of more than 7 million dollars which wasregistered last financial statements of the company;

115. Although the trustee knew that when the bankruptcy Resort this claim was not

owned by Rheal Dallaire, he would have suggested the latter to obtain a documentconfirming the transfer of this debt, all to facilitate the control of the vote at meetings ofcreditors to come;

116. Thus, the sale of it due to shareholders of more than $ 7 million was madeconcurrently with the bankruptcy, and was confirmed by a document dated February 7,2008, before signing the contract Exhibit P-1 , all to knowledge and as directed by thetrustee in bankruptcy and, in order that this assignment is not binding on applicants;

117. Moreover, although Rheal Dallaire had given to applicants in February 2008 all ofthe documentation that showed he had acquired the former owners of the Resort ofthese actions, never do this assignment they had been disclosed before the bankruptcy;

118. The trustee would also have suggested Boyadjian Rheal Dallaire to issue amortgage of $ 275 000 on equipment and movable assets of the Château Cartier infavor of a company controlled by Rheal Dallaire and before the filing of the bankruptcy,which was made by Mr. Dallaire, through one of his attorneys, namely Jean-PierreMichon;

119. However, no consideration has been given by the holder of the mortgage to thepurchaser to obtain the chattel mortgage and that, to the knowledge of the trustee;

120. By participating in the conspiracy and Rheal Dallaire Groupe Heafey to get rid ofthe agreement between the applicants Dallaire, Noubar Boyadjian has assumedresponsibility vis-à-vis the applicants and must be condemned jointly and severally topay the plaintiffs any damages they have suffered, all in accordance with the reliefsought herein;

121. Applicants believe that none of the defendants were able to carry out this planwithout the participation and involvement of each of them;

122. As for the defendant, Litwin Boyadjian, she is responsible for the actions of hisrepresentative and principal officer;

123. Even after being appointed trustee and the bankruptcy of orchestrating Resort withother defendants, Noubar Boyadjian continued to be involved in the plot by giving the

reins of the Chateau Cartier Rheal Dallaire, who, although down , continued to be theone who really controlled with Pierre Heafey Resort;

124. Throughout the challenge to the bankruptcy of Resort and following the process ofsale of assets Resort endorsed by the Honorable Judge Riordan, the trustee Boyadjianwas actively involved with Mr. Heafey, Mr. and Mr. Dallaire Chowieri preparationstrategies surrounding the recommendations of the Tribunal in hearings before theHonorable Judge Riordan;

125. He also participated in the preparation of bids which were deposited at differentstages in the judicial process and the last offer made in December 2008 that led to the

purchase of the assets of Resort by a company controlled by Pierre Heafey and SamirChowieri or the defendant 6963251 Canada Inc..;

126. In addition, the trustee has Boyadjian, upon receipt of proof of claim property of theplaintiff Parscom, rejected it as of August 6, 2008, thereby deciding that the agreementof March 14, 2008 did not grant the right to Parscom Resort on assets, all as appearsfrom the notice of rejection of the trustee and the proof of claim Parscom, disclosed in abundle as exhibit P-29;

127. It is surprising that all proofs of claim filed with the trustee, or several hundred,including all claims unfounded Group Dallaire, only the proof of claim referred to in thepreceding paragraph was rejected before the hearing of the case to the HonorableJudge Riordan, has recognized the trustee before the latter had not even reviewed theproofs of claim to Dallaire and its related companies;

128. Moreover, as part of its case management of the Resort bankruptcy, the trusteeBoyadjian has prepared a background paper to solicit potential buyers of the assets ofResort and handed it to different people, with the exclusion of applicants, evenrecommending Chantal Gingras Dormani ensure that Nader does not receive a copy ofthis document, copy of the information being communicated as Exhibit P-30;

129. Informed of this approach by a third party, 48 hours before the date of submissionof tenders, the plaintiffs submitted a bid for the assets, subject to all of their appeals, asappears by a copy of supply and a letter from prosecutors provided Parscom datedOctober 3, 2008, provided in a bundle as exhibit P-31;

130. Following receipt of various offers, including that of Parscom, the trustee is toprepare and file the record of the Court a motion entitled "Motion for directions to acceptan offer, sale and distribute the APPROVe Proceeds of the sale", such that it appearsfrom a copy of the application dated 10 October 2008 and parts support package asprovided in Exhibit P-32;

131. The trustee then strongly recommended the proposal Heafey Group found thepiece mentioned in the preceding paragraph, arguing that it was the best;

132. However, the offer provided for payment of a sum of 3.6 million dollars in claims

Dallaire, what was considered the trustee to assert that more than $ 4 million wasavailable for unsecured creditors, while , by the admission of the trustee, claimsanalysis Dallaire had not been made and that, furthermore, these receivables were soldto the bidder, the trustee could not ignore;

133. Without the $ 3.6 million dollars, covering claims Dallaire, offering to unsecuredcreditors of Resort was lower than Parscom;

134. This request was not accepted by the judge Riordan, who has set up a newbidding process between the two main potential buyers;

135. As part of its administration of the Chateau Cartier, the trustee has not Boyadjianrepeatedly before the Tribunal and its requests that he lacked the money to manage thiscompany, even requesting the Court of First Instance authorization for funding special(DIP financing), while at the end of his administration he remained money in the bankaccount without special funding has needed to be used;

136. The day for the opening of bids assets Resort, is December 9, 2008, the applicantDorman, accompanied by one of his attorneys, Mr. Peter McMartin, came to the officeof the trustee to 16 hours in order to file an initial offer for $ 1.5 million dollars;

137. Unfortunately, the facts hereinafter set forth, then it became clear that the trusteeBoyadjian was in league with the Heafey Group and that very large sums of moneyhave been frozen for long periods in addition to requiring significant investment time andmoney to challenge future decisions of the trustee;

138. Initially, Mr. Dormani was then reminded of two special meetings he had with thetrustee Boyadjian since his appointment as trustee in the trustee about which some hadmarked:

a) a first meeting took place around the month of August 2008 in a restaurant in theByward Market in Ottawa, where the defendant was present Dallaire;

b) at the meeting, the trustee proposed to Mr. Boyadjian Dormani to settle the matter bypaying a sum of 1.2 million dollars to Mr. Dallaire and a sum of $ 300 000 for unsecuredcreditors;

c) at that time, Mr. Dorman was surprised that this proposal was clearly unfavorable forthe unsecured creditors especially as it came from the trustee, whose role should be toprotect the unsecured creditors of Resort;

d) there has been no response to that discussion;

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/heafey-group-samir-chowieri-forced-to-repay-millions-by-quebec-court-for-fraud 17/28

  17

 

e) the second meeting, which recalled Mr. Dorman, took place just before the start ofthe hearings before Judge Riordan;

f) Mr. Dormani recalled the verbal exchange with the trustee Boyadjian;

"Mr. Dorman: Which I do not know God you believe in, Does not it bother you aim ThatYou are Helping these guys to steal the Hotel? Can you sleep at night Knowing ThatYou're Helping these guys take away the 51% That Bought fair and square we "?

The trustee then replied, laughing: "The only God I know is money"

139. In addition, the day before, at a meeting with Pierre Heafey, the latter told him thatif he (Dorman) present an offer to purchase the assets of the Resort next day he(Heafey) by removing a lot of money since he had acquired all the claims of Dallaire andthat would ensure them recognized as valid;

140. Mr. Dormani was then also recalled several events that had occurred since thecollapse of Resort to date which questioned the impartiality of the trustee, including:

a) powers of attorney signed by certain creditors for Parscom Enterprises Inc.. had beenset aside by the trustee and not attached to all proofs of claim when representatives ofthe applicants came to the trustee's office to learn about such proofs of claim;

b) the trustee had helped maintain their position at the hotel close associates of RhealDallaire and even increased the salaries of some of them;

c) Dallaire had full access to the Chateau Cartier as well as various documents andinformation concerning the company;

d) At the beginning of July 2008, Nader Dormani the trustee had offered a proposal thatwould have paid about 50% of the claims of unsecured creditors, the trustee hadrejected out of hand;

141. It became obvious to Mr. Dormani he had no chance of success to acquire theassets of Resort, given the total lack of integrity and impartiality of the trusteeBoyadjian;

142. Furthermore, it should be noted that 17.00, no bids had yet been filed by theHeafey Group and that only after the trustee has authorized two extensions of time thatthe Heafey Group has finally filed a bid;

143. It appears in fact that while the applicant Dorman, deciding the fate of its bid, thetrustee Boyadjian and Groupe Heafey, by telephone, concocted various strategies in theabsence of Dorman, in offices closed, pending the arrival Dallaire who led checksHeafey Group, which was done at 5:28 p.m.;

  18

 

144. The trustee insisted that Mr. Boyadjian Dormani return of their offers before thefiling of the offer Heafey Group;

145. Moreover, between 17 am and 5:30 p.m., when the prosecutor Heafey Group whowas present at the trustee's office, left the room, the applicant Dormani wanted to follow

to see what was happening, the trustee Boyadjian She was forbidden to do;146. It is within minutes of the start of the Attorney Heafey Group that eventually thesupply of the latter was finally received;

147. It should be noted that the applicant Dormani had with him a check in the amountof $ 1,000,000 representing the deposit he should join his offer and he had obtained thenecessary funding for full payment of assets;

148. Consequently, the applicant Dormani decided not to submit a bid, as a result of hisanalysis of the situation he had no chance of success especially given that he could

have no confidence in the integrity of the trustee Boyadjian . He then filed an envelopethat contains no offer, while inserting a letter explaining why he could not make offer, asappears from the letter submitted as Exhibit P-33;

149. Even after the opening of tenders and after the decision of December 10, 2008 theHonorable Judge Riordan, Exhibit P-24b), the trustee continued to promote the HeafeyGroup including the refusal to pay the interest payment date in the capital This requireda request for clarification finally ordered by the trial judge Riordan March 17, 2009,Exhibit P-24c);

150. The participation of Noubar Boyadjian the plot is even more obvious that this willbe demonstrated at the hearing on 8 July 2008, it was agreed among the otherdefendants and himself that he would receive a sum between $ 400 000 in the eventthat the plaintiffs presented no challenge and 1.2 million dollars if not as professionalfees, in order to fulfill its mandate in bankruptcy Resort, which was then not mandatethat 'in its infancy;

151. It is clear that the mission of the trustee Boyadjian, throughout the case, was tosee to the interests of Heafey Group and ensure that it acquires the assets of Resort;

152. Since these events, the applicants have been contacted several times by both theRoyal Canadian Mounted Police by the Superintendent of Bankruptcy who investigate,independently of the actions of the defendants in the case of bankruptcy of Resort;

IX DAMAGE TO APPLICANTS

153. The plaintiffs (...) then learned that the bankruptcy Resort was made fraudulently,with the sole aim to remove the agreement of 14 March 2008 and exclude them fromthe administration of the company and they consequently instituted proceedings forannulment of bankruptcy;

rejecting certain claims made in bankruptcy Resort Investors International ULC and thatthese claims were rejected by the Honorable Judge Louis-Philippe Landry, datedJanuary 5, 2010, the latter adding the following:

"The Group has Dormani this reason to believe that Dallaire's actions caused him harm.

Group Dormani could assert his claim for damages, if any, against those he believeshave acted against the rules of good faith "

The whole as it appears that the trial January 5, 2010, provided as Exhibit P-34;

174. As appears also Judgement of the Honorable Judge Landry, all receivables of theGroup Dallaire were rejected by the bankruptcy trustee in the absence of documentaryevidence produced by the Group Dallaire and / or Heafey Group on these claims;

175. It is clear that Dallaire claims were largely fraudulent and that they had beenconcocted to enable the Group Heafey, following the acquisition of the latter to hold a

considerable advantage in the file;176.
