An individual entrepreneur acting as contractor substantially breached a construction contract and refused to return money to the client. The dispute was resolved through a settlement agreement on the client's terms: the contract price, default interest, court fees and legal costs were all recovered.
The contractor, an individual entrepreneur, materially failed to perform its obligations under the construction contract, ignoring the client's legitimate demands to return the funds and pay default interest.
The contractor (an individual entrepreneur) ignored the client's pre-trial demands, avoided voluntarily returning the advance payments, and denied any legal basis for penalties over the delay.
We carried out a thorough review of the facts and the contract documentation, building a firm pre-trial and litigation strategy on that basis. We initiated negotiations with the counterparty, demonstrating the prospects in court.
The dispute ended with a settlement agreement being approved; the claimant's financial demands were satisfied in full.
The project let the client resolve the dispute without protracted litigation, securing performance of the obligations in a settlement agreement on fair terms.
