EV607797....I doubt the rules are much different here than there...the point is that it is civil law and the cops can't do a thing about it. Then we get into the "possesion is 9/10ths of the law" thingie....etc.
The police cannot and will not stop you in the situation I related above. It is a matter for a civil court and not any type of criminal infraction. In this case the owner realized that he had signed change orders agreeing to the increase in fees beyond my bid. Since I passed my final inspection without a singal write-up or notation he had no means to claim poor work performance or malfeasance.
Indeed I had notes from both him and his wife saved from during the job praising my on-time performance and coordination with the other trades on their installations and the likely savings this had meant for them.
He knew he would lose in court and have to pay both his own and then my legal expenses....
Anyway....I was not in the least worried when I pulled his service...nor should I have been given current laws and the evidence.
Please don't mistake my choice to let a few typo's on a website go rather than correcting them for stupidity either here or in dealing with customers. I trust you will find that my communication skills are more than adequate when they need to be.
