Problems with Neighbor
Hi,
My problem is fairly simple. I
live in building that has 12
units. We all agreed to pool our
resources together and save
USD14,400 for a series of
verbally agreed upon
renovations. We verbally
appointed one of our neighbors
to supervise the project. The
work was uncompleted and the
parts that were done are very
bad. On top of that, he claims
to have spent USD5,500 from
his own pocket, without our
knowledge or consent, in
addtition to the the
USD14,400 we gave him. He is
demanding the extra sum and
is now threatening to destroy
the building. We are sure he
has mis-managed the intial
funds as the work done does
not reflect the amount
invested. We have made it
clear that we won't pay a
penny unless a quantity
surveyor is brought in to value
the work done. All this is to no
avail - he keeps on
threatening. What is our legal
standing in this case?
