applefreak 1 Report post Posted July 12, 2007 think drugs has bigger implications on the societyas it will lead to problems like robbery, theft or even murderalso, cheating quite difficult to prove lohcoz drug is strict liability whilst cheating must prove intention just applying some of the knowledge i gained from night classes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bubsbunny 0 Report post Posted July 12, 2007 Do you think going to newspaper or TV help? Sometime these authorities bochap matters get notice when make into media. Isnt cheating considered a crime, moreover with many victims? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
applefreak 1 Report post Posted July 12, 2007 yes cheating is definitely a crime but then intention is difficult to provethat means you need to be sure that at the point of taking your money, the ID already know that there is no way the renovation can be done.if the ID had intentions to complete the work but is unable to, it becomes a civil matter...

I thought that only happens during gang fights or angry meetings Anyway, oonik grl, there is no harm in listening to what your ID has to say and giving him an opportunity to explain how things are done. But do stand firm on what was agreed upon. If you need to be flexible, do ensure that the ID is also flexible to you as well (such things have to go both ways) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
