usually the court will not be bother with such claims... often they will ask you to settle out of court by a mediator... which mean more problems ... cos contractor may think he or she is right and you think u are right.. and mediator just sit in the middle to prevent further agruement. My experience is that if one party is an *** .... the claim will be a long long period .. if the other party think logically usually these cases can be settle easier... i think threating them to go online and spread their name will frighten most contractors lol (the logical types, not the ah beng types) recently we sue a tenant for moving out of our property and the court told us to go mediator (obviously a breach of contract in black and white) End of mediating, both party agree a compensation amount. But unfortunatey the other party being an *** decide that its too much and wanted to lower the compensation Then our lawyers want us to sue them again lol Which means more money for the lawyers!! in the end who wins the lawyers lol Well i personally dun think finding a lawyer is a good idea cos they always want u to go to courts and sue everyone until their pants dropped even the chances of winning is low lol (well thats how they get their money)
