Canon U.S.A. Inc. is taking legal action in Florida to collect a $13.2 million consent judgment against Chulani (St. Maarten) N.V., a company that has yet to pay. The lawsuit also names British Virgin Islands firm Indigo Blue Finance Ltd. and individual Kirran Panjabi, suggesting they may control or benefit from the judgment debtor’s assets. The case highlights the hurdles of enforcing large international judgments and demonstrates how U.S. courts are increasingly used to pursue affiliated offshore entities in efforts to recover unpaid debts.
