ORBRIDGE LLC, Plaintiff, v. SAFARI LEGACY, INC. and PRATIK PATEL, Defendants.
JUDGMENT
BARBARA JACOBS ROTHSTEIN, COURT JUDGE
This matter has come on before the Court on plaintiff Orbridge LLC's (“Orbridge”) motion for entry of judgment against Safari Legacy, Inc. (“Safari Legacy”) and Pratik Patel. On October 4, 2022, the parties entered into a Confidential Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release (the “Settlement Agreement”) whereby Pratik Patel and Safari Legacy agreed to pay Orbridge, Inc. $197,000 by wire transfer within 90 days. Ninety days from October 4, 2022 was Monday, January 2, 2023. Orbridge has not received any payment from the defendants pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, who are therefore in breach of that agreement.
Defendant Pratik Patel personally guaranteed “all obligations of Safari Legacy, Inc. to Orbridge as set forth in [the] Settlement Agreement.” Accordingly, Orbridge is entitled to judgment against both defendants. Further, pursuant to section 6.1 of the Settlement Agreement, the defendants agreed that upon the occurrence of any breach by the defendants, any attorney may confess judgment against the defendants without notice or hearing in favor of Orbridge for the full amount of the Settlement Agreement ($197,000) plus fifteen percent of that amount ($29,550) for costs, expenses, and attorney's fees. This totals $226,550.
JUDGMENT
The Court hereby enters Judgment in favor of Orbridge against Pratik Patel and Safari Legacy, jointly and severely, in the amount of $226,550. This Judgment will incur post-judgment interest at Washington's statutory rate.
