Motion for Judgment
Plaintiff proved that Defendants violated the North Carolina Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practices Act.
The jury found, and the Court now orders, that Plaintiff is entitled to and should recover from Defendants actual damages (lost profits) in the amount of $4,900,000.00 for Plaintiff’s false advertising and North Carolina Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practices Act claims.
Plaintiff is further entitled to pre-judgment interest on its $4.9 million actual damage award, see N.C. GEN. STAT. § 24-5(b); Castles Auto & Truck Servs., Inc. v. Exxon Corp., 16 Fed. App’x 163, 168 (4th Cir. 2001); Calderon v. GEICO Gen. Ins. Co., 809 F.3d 111, 133 (4th Cir. 2015), at the North Carolina statutory rate of 8% per annum.
As of May 01, 2024, Plaintiff is therefore entitled to $1,320,986.30 in pre-judgment interest, for a total award of $16,020,986.30 on Plaintiff’s false advertising and North Carolina Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practices Act claims.
Electronic Tech Co., Ltd., and Ningbo Yishang Import And Export Co., Ltd., the amount of SIXTEEN MILLION TWENTY-ONE THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED THIRTY-SIX DOLLARS and THIRTY CENTS ($16,021,736.30).

Hayward Industries, Inc. v. BlueWorks Corporation et al, 3:20-cv-00710, No. 393 (W.D.N.C. Apr. 11, 2024)
Deciding whether a potentially immediate and irreparable injury justifies entry of a TRO, the Court considers the same factors applicable to a request for preliminary injunction.
Numerous district courts have found that “the prospect of collecting money damages from a foreign defendant with few to no assets in the United States tips in favor of a finding of irreparable harm.” Bushnell, Inc. v. Brunton Co., 673 F. Supp.
In any case, Defendants could avoid the brief business disruption attributable to an asset freeze by simply posting bond to ensure the collectability of Plaintiff’s judgment.1 d. Public Interest
The Court finds that all four Winter factors favor granting Plaintiff’s request for an ex parte order temporarily restraining Defendant from transferring assets.
1 Additionally, Mr. Chen testified under oath that Defendants keep a substantial inventory of supplies required to manufacture their products at a warehouse in China, further limiting the potential business disruption caused by an asset freeze.
