Problem: Our client was defending a claim brought against her by a construction contractor who had failed to carry out the work to a satisfactory standard and was chasing further monies despite already being paid almost £20k.
Outcome: Our lawyers were able to settle the claim on the basis that the claim be discontinued and the opponent pay our client’s legal costs in full.
How long did it take? Around 3 weeks.
Our expert construction lawyers were instructed by a client who had contracted a builder to complete works on her property but the contractor did not complete the works despite being paid, and the work that was completed was shoddy and incomplete.
Our client was able to get a surveyor report and obtain quotes to remedy the works and high-quality pictures and chronology. It was clear that the legal proceedings were to be used by the opponent as a tactic to seek to extract further sums from our client. We prepared a robust defence to the claim and counterclaim which was prepared for the client for a discounted fixed fee.
Our lawyers successfully defended the claim and were able to agree to the discontinuance of the claim on the basis that the opponent paid our client’s legal costs in full. This meant that our client did not have to pay any costs for legal representation. Our client was pleased with the result which we achieved within 3 weeks of being instructed by the client.
Our expert construction lawyers have an excellent track record of obtaining positive judgments and settlements for clients and obtaining awards for their legal costs.
