Dealer & financing disputes

XCMG dealer disputes: Canadian proposal proceedings and US contract cases. Party roles and procedural outcomes are central to interpreting these records.

In plain language: Start with the summary, then open the records that answer your question. Check who supplied each fact, when it was checked and what remains unknown.

How these records fit together

Supplied court files distinguish Wild Timber VLC-S-S-260999 from Artic S-261878. The Canadian and US proceedings remain separate; related allegations and loss estimates must not be counted as independent proven incidents.

Related court documents

These records concern separate proceedings unless their case identifiers match. Claims and responses retain their own filing and outcome limits.

Wild Timber proceeding: September 4 oral reasons of Justice Crerar

Oral reasons for judgment

Justice Crerar found enough prima facie evidence of breaches of the March 11 and March 25 orders to raise the security, ordering a further C$5 million so that C$10 million is held in total. These are interim chambers findings on a without-notice application, not a trial decision on the claims.

Documents behind this guide

Trustee report on Artic Machinery proposal

Selected extracted pages reviewed, including paras.15–18. Trustee reports an injunction; underlying injunction order not obtained.

Artic Machinery Ltd: Application Response of Proposal Trustee

Verified original PDF through web; relevant factual and litigation-position sections reviewed. Paras 1–4, 9–12, 16–19, 24, 30–39. Counsel submissions are disputed litigation positions, not judicial findings. Pleaded unsafe-equipment, misrepresentation and corporate-separateness allegations remain allegations.

Artic Machinery Ltd: corporate engagement and filed documents

Verified public trustee page through web and browser. Overview and linked September 29 proposal, September 29 application response, October 1 Fifth Report. A future scheduled hearing is not a disposition.

Artic Machinery — notice of civil claim S-261878

User-supplied copy received 6 October 2026; not independently authenticated against the court registry. Pleadings record allegations and requested relief; no merits ruling or damages award is supplied. Caption confirms Artic (not OCR 'Artie'). Do not publish pleaded corporate ownership/control as established fact. The greater than 500-unit estimate differs from D001's greater than 100 swaps; these are plaintiffs' different pleaded estimates, not separate confirmed affected-unit totals.

Artic Machinery Ltd: Proposal Trustee's Fifth Report to Court

Original downloaded via trustee browser link; main report pages 1–18 fully reviewed, selected relevant pages visually inspected; appendices selectively reviewed. Paras 9–13, 22–28, 38–43, 44–52, 59–66; pages 6, 10–11, 17–18. Trustee report is primary evidence of its report and recommendation; it is not the underlying September 4 order or a court ruling approving the proposal. Paras 32–35 explain reliance on unaudited company information. XCMG opposition is recorded fairly in paras 59–61 and its April 29 counsel letter appendix F. No October 7 result yet exists as of this review. Additionally reviewed company proposal Schedule A, actual PDF pp.103–104 (printed pp.22–23): equipment, warranty and serial-year allegations, with the explicit statement that XCMG disputes the claim and intends to defend. No exact models are stated in that schedule.

Artic Machinery Ltd: Second Further Amended Proposal dated September 29, 2026

Original downloaded; largely scanned 55-page document. Terms verified principally against Fifth Report and its searchable blackline appendix rather than complete OCR of this copy. . Do not describe September 29 as filing date; do not infer sanction from execution or inspector approval.

Chinese state-owned XCMG facing lawsuits alleging it defrauded Canadian equipment dealers

Full publisher article read on 18 October 2026 (posted October 16, 2026, 9:35 pm). Quotes Ryan Martin at the Vancouver law courts and an XCMG Canada statement to Global News. The article spells the company "Arctic Machinery"; court and insolvency records use "Artic Machinery". Dealer allegations are not court findings. The article does not say whether Martin spoke in court or to reporters.

Wild Timber injunction announcement

Counsel announcement reviewed as a party-side account. The underlying supplied claim and March 11 entered order are now separately reviewed as S017 and S021; those copies, rather than this announcement, support the exact party list and operative terms. This announcement does not establish a merits judgment or current order status.

Wild Timber and associated plaintiffs — notice of civil claim

User-supplied copy received 6 October 2026; not independently authenticated against the court registry. Pleadings record allegations and requested relief; no merits ruling or damages award is supplied. Artic Machinery Ltd. is discussed throughout but is not a plaintiff in this caption. Xuzhou Construction Machinery Group Imp. & Exp. Co., Ltd. is described as XCMG China but is not named as a defendant in this caption. Corporate control and alter-ego relationships asserted in the pleading are allegations, not independently proven ownership.

Wild Timber proceeding — entered Mareva order

User-supplied March 11 entered copy; not independently registry-authenticated. The October 1 trustee report (S051 para.24) reports that the related S-260999 order was extended, varied and replaced on September 4, including additional C$5 million trust security. The September 4 replacement order has since been supplied as D010; it is not part of the March original. The March C$32,456,992 amount is security that ends that injunction, not damages awarded or an express asset-value cap. Operative restrictions specifically named XCMG Canada Ltd. The order did not decide the pleaded misconduct allegations. Schedule B is referenced but appears absent from the supplied six-page copy.

Wild Timber proceeding: September 4 oral reasons of Justice Crerar

User-supplied copy received 15 October 2026; not independently authenticated against the court registry. Six-page transcript of oral reasons with text layer. The application was heard without notice and the defendants did not appear; the court describes the evidence as prima facie only. Paragraph 11 says the defendants brought the application, while the entered order (D010) records it as the plaintiffs’ application; read the two together. The transcriber replaced “$5,000” and “$10,000” with “$5 million” and “$10 million” by agreement of counsel and the judge (D011). No final liability, damages award or ruling on the pleaded fraud is made.

Wild Timber proceeding: September 4 order replacing the Mareva relief

User-supplied copy received 15 October 2026; not independently authenticated against the court registry. Five scanned pages read visually and by OCR; handwritten words checked against the page images. Paragraph 4 refers to “the order of March 11, 2025”, an apparent typographical error for March 11, 2026. The order is expressed to remain in force to the November 23–27, 2026 return date unless varied or discharged; any later variation, discharge or appeal has not been reviewed. Security is not damages and the order does not decide the pleaded misconduct.

Contract merits and later docket developments were not determined by this review.

CanLift, 4C and Partsroom — Ontario statement of claim

User-supplied copy received 6 October 2026; not independently authenticated against the court registry. Pleadings record allegations and requested relief; no merits ruling or damages award is supplied. CanLift claims as Ontario distributor/dealer; 4C and Partsroom join relief about challenged security registrations. The claim alleges XCMG corporate relationships, franchisor/associate status and partnership liability; these are disputed legal/corporate propositions, not established identity findings. User-supplied issued claim, not independently registry-authenticated. No defence or subsequent Ontario ruling reviewed; no merits or damages outcome established. CSA compliance, serial decoding, defects and security registration validity are allegations without underlying testing/registrations/contracts reviewed here. This Ontario claim is distinct from the Nevada action M004: CanLift is a plaintiff here and a defendant there. Party overlap alone does not establish consolidation.

CanLift answer and counterclaims in the Nevada case
