was just reading over this as its just been sorted... wow that took a while
Fair trading flipped our complaint to a tribunal hearing , who can make a determination .
The building companies lawyers sent us a notice they intended to claim damages for us not proceeding with the building contract to the tune of 55k.
Then sent an offer of $1500 to settle , then $3000 , then $7000
then the whole amount, they also stalled one tribunal meeting at two minutes to start with our lawyer present just because they could.
We did $2500 in legals and got the rest back,, they did accept a penalty and fine for the breaches to avoid prosecution .
we have started over with another builder.
