Lee v Jin, 2025 BCSC 6862025

Counsel of Record: Millad Ossudallah

Case Summary: Acting for the respondent, Millad Ossudallah successfully opposed the claimant’s interim requests in this complex family law matter involving contested corporate interests.

The claimant sought interim relief on several issues, including the transfer of corporate shares in two restaurant businesses, the proceeds of grant money obtained on behalf of the company, and reimbursement of business funds allegedly misappropriated by the respondent. Millad argued that these were not issues suitable for interim resolution and should be determined at trial where the full evidentiary record could be considered. The court agreed.

The court also acknowledged that a joint expert had been retained to conduct a forensic audit and valuation of the businesses. Given the ongoing nature of that work and the incomplete evidentiary record, the court declined to make any interim orders.

Millad’s effective advocacy ensured that trial-appropriate matters were preserved for full and fair adjudication, protecting his client from a premature decision.

As a result, the agreement was set aside, leveling the playing field for the client in future legal proceedings.

P.F. v J.T.F, 2021 BCSC 15062021

Counsel of Record: Millad Ossudallah

Case Summary: Millad Ossudallah was successful in representing the claimant in this case involving a 22-year marriage and ongoing cohabitation following separation. The wife initially secured a without-notice order for exclusive home occupancy and a protection order against her husband based on allegations of long-term verbal and physical abuse. Despite the husband's denial of these allegations, the court upheld the exclusive occupancy order, citing the wife's entitlement to safety and privacy in her home. Although the wife worked away part of the week, her wish to spend time at home with both children was considered reasonable. The protection order was extended for the wife and the older child, evidencing a long-standing pattern of abuse.
