SAN DIEGO – A company organized under Illinois law alleges that it is still owed millions on a promissory note from a company.
Hiland Dairy Foods Co. LLC filed a complaint on Aug. 28 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California against Brisa Goods LLC and Does 1-15 alleging breach of corporate guaranty.
According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that on Feb. 19, 2016, the defendant's managing member Francisco Xavier Bou Claisse issued a promissory note on behalf of Brisagoods de Monterrey, SA to plaintiff for $4 million. After receiving payments totaling $850,000, the plaintiff alleges the principal amount of $3.15 million remains outstanding.
