What recourse is available in law for someone who has paid for a bathroom renovation job that the bathroom fitter has gone AWOL from, leaving a substantial amount of work outstanding? Fitter is non-responsive to emails, phone calls go straight to answer machine.
Small claims court limit is €2000. Amount of work paid for and outstanding exceeds €2000.

Any advice? Would be very grateful for any help. Thanks.
 
what paperwork do you have tying him/her to the job?
Was it as as sole trader or as Ltd company?
what proof of payment do you have: bank transfer/cheque or Johnny & June?
 
Job spec agreement & receipts for stage payments but not an actual contract. Can show cheque payments and cash withdrawals to coincidence with stage payment dates & receipts. Also emails admitting job is unfinished.

Need to check company liability but think it's listed on the CRO.
