She did actually sign a contract so in theory he could take her to court.

[Tresh]

She'd be forced to pay costs.

it takes the piss that someone can have cheek to go out clubbing whilst the person they owe money too is sitting at home because they are too boracic to go themselves.

correct.

 

it is also annoying when someone owes you a "little" bit of money, which ur blatantly never going to see again, but somehow they make it to tidy weekenders etc.

 

sure there's the "it's only £20" -- but if it's only £20, why can't they have the decency to pay it back, when you "lent" it to them on good faith because you saw them as a "mate" -- and when you lent it to them, THEY were the ones who benefitted from it with a good night.

 

be careful.

[Louise]

ah well, thats different then.........

 

if you want the money, you go get it

I never knew you wre of a legal background Mr Kether.

 

The thing is tho, if she ain't got no money she won't be able to pay the costs or the backowed rent. She could be declared bankrupt tho...

I'm not, Tresh, my first subject is medicinal chemistry.

 

I just pick things up here and there.

It'd be easier to take it to the small claims court as its only a civil law suit.

 

Ian would be able to sue AND get monies owed to him, I think they'd both have to pay court costs though.

 

Contract negotiation and dispute resolution

 

This should help you Ian if you need it.

Sorry to hear Ian !

 

Although I know you have been pretty tense about the whole thing for a while. But when crunch comes to crunch - lines need to be drawn.

 

Maybe this will be a valuable lesson that you have learned, and when taking on something like this again, you should learn about people first before taking people on board again.

 

Hope things sort itself out ASAP though

Wrong, the losing party would have to pay costs, as they would get a judgement for this. It would be inequitable in any law or the person winning, becaus the other party had behaved in breach of contract to have to cover their own costs.   A claim in the small claims court would be the best way forward, but the fact remains, as she doesn't have a job and merely because he gets a judgment in his favour, it does not guarantee he will get any of the monies owed to him.   Trust me I'm a lawyer, not meant in a sarcastic way either.
