Don’t make any further payment till he completes work
if he fails to complete work file complaint against interior decorator before consumer forum seek orders to complete work within stipulated period and pay compensation for mental torture undergone by you
I have a written document for what all he has to complete and he has already crossed the deadline he had given us and now he is demanding 30k more for which we refused and now he is telling us he won't complete the work will the written document signed by him be valid in the court it's on a plain paper and it has his letter head we also have most of the call recordings we have spoken to him, when we told we will file case against you he told us that the signed paper has no value do whatever you want
Given details are not sufficient to arrive to any conclusion nor to give opinion. The details of agreement is required to be examined along with other details. Agreement can be orally also which too is legal subject to fulfillment of few legal formalities. So signed paper too is legal. So consult with detail.
The agreement is the documentary evidence for the relationship between yo and him.
If the contractor is violating or breaching the conditions then you may approach consumer redressal commission with a compliant against the contractor and seek compensation and other reliefs.
The agreement in a plain paper cannot be enforced however that can be used as an evidence to prove the existence of contract
You can very well sue him ignoring his threats
Contract signed between parties is binding
you are at liberty to proceed legally if he has failed to complete the work on time
- If you have entered into an agreement with the said interior design company for carry the said work , then you can claim refund and damages for the unsatisfactory work.
- However, as per Section 10 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872 , An oral agreement is as equally valid, as a written one , and the legality of an oral agreement or an unregistered agreement cannot be questioned.
- Since, as his work is not as per the promised or agreement , then you can file a complaint before the Consumer forum on the ground of deficiency of work to get the refund and damages.
Dear client,
Sorry to hear about your situation. The Indian Contract Act, 1872, states that a written agreement signed by both parties, even on plain paper, is enforceable in India. In a legal disagreement, the paperwork you have and phone records might be very important pieces of evidence. Agreements signed with the free assent of the parties are recognized under Section 10 of the Act, and Section 73 provides for compensation in the event that a contract is broken. There has been a breach of contract in your instance since the contractor is requesting more money and has not finished the work by the scheduled date. You can make a claim for damages resulting from the breach under Section 73. Furthermore, customers may be further protected by the Consumer Protection Act of 2019. You can file a complaint with the consumer forum, citing the written contract, the phone logs, and proof of unfinished work as justification for damages and taking the contractor to court.
Hope this helps you.
You can file a consumer complaint against the ID and seek compensation form him
