Case Outcome for Suburban Waste Representation

In this recent case, we had the privilege of representing Suburban Waste Services, Inc., owned by Mr. David Dienno and Ms. Christina Bizzari, against claims brought by Kapitus Servicing, Inc. The lawsuit revolved around two Revenue-Based Factoring Agreements, where Kapitus alleged that our client had defaulted on their obligations, leading to a demand for over $353,000, including fees for breach of contract and returned payments.

Kapitus filed a motion for summary judgment, claiming that the agreements were legitimate sales of future receivables, while we argued that they were actually usurious loans disguised as factoring agreements. Despite Kapitus' efforts to enforce these agreements, the court ruled in our client’s favor on key points. The judge rejected Kapitus’ argument that the agreements were sales of receivables, determining them to be loans instead. Although our client did not secure a full summary judgment in their favor, this outcome preserved their ability to continue defending against the claims.

The case highlights our firm's commitment to defending businesses against aggressive financial claims and ensuring that contractual agreements are scrutinized thoroughly. Our team remains dedicated to ensuring Suburban Waste Services' continued success as we move forward in the case.
