Background
Plaintiff sued defendant for payment of US$73,612.70 allegedly owed under a Payment Plan Agreement dated 17 April 2023. Plaintiff had not yet been incorporated when the agreement was signed. After plaintiff led evidence, defendant applied for absolution from the instance arguing no prima facie case was established due to plaintiff's non-existence at contract date, lack of authority, and document ambiguities.
