Hi guys,
not sure this is the right section or not
here's the situation, my parent house is currently under renovation
contractor gave quotation RM100,000, we pay, they promised to be completed in january
project is about 50-60% completed (about 2-3 weeks behind schedule)
now, the contractor saying money finished already
now ask my parent to top up claimed material cost rise (harga semasa-in his own word)
my question is can my parent take legal action against them, what are our chances of winning
and what should be our next step
thank you

QUOTE(dariofoo @ Dec 24 2011, 07:14 PM) This is the right section. Welcome.  Sounds like breach of contract by the contractor against your parents. I hope that there is a detailed quotation given out by the contractor which both parties have agreed and signed. If cakap mulut contract then how you want to prove that he agreed to do the whole thing for RM100K? The next step is to see a lawyer. But before that you better weigh all consequences if the contractor is still in the house, doing work. Remember he can sabotage things. Perhaps tell him to stop work first and get his things out for awhile. Then seek legal advice.  thank you. we have black and white but the detail I'm not so sure since my parent didnt disclose it to me my mum busy browsing internet about consumer tribunal as I write this thats the problem now because project is only about 50-60% completed but they used up all the finance already we scared about this sabotage thing as well |
