Non Payment of Service Charge
am seeking your guidance regarding a non-payment issue with one of my former consulting partners. Here is a brief summary of the situation:
I worked as a tax consultant for this unit, handling their client work for a reasonable fee.
The unit, operational since 2021, ceased operations in September 2024.
My service charges from July 2023 onwards remain unpaid despite multiple reminders via WhatsApp, emails, and a registered letter.
Their response cited "billing irregularities" in my invoices without providing any specific details.
I have now decided to file a legal suit to recover the unpaid amount. My question is whether it is advisable to include their clients—who are the ultimate beneficiaries of my work—as third parties in the case. I believe this might exert additional pressure on the non-paying consulting unit to resolve the matter.
Could you please advise on:
The feasibility and legality of including third parties (their clients) in the suit.
Any potential risks or implications of such an approach.
