Dispute Resolution & Litigation Support – Suggestions & Tips #80

July 10, 2015 by Grassroots Leave a Comment

dispute resolution

While you had hoped to resolve things in a more simple atmosphere, sometimes it takes an inspection that documents the areas of concern and the ramifications of those findings to help all parties with their dispute resolution. If things have escalated and you’re contemplating or already underway with legal proceedings, you’ll likely need litigation support to best present your case.

It often feels like it never rains but it pours. You think you’ve done everything right but no one is willing to budge.  Maybe you are:

  • having troubles with a new/used home or commercial building you leased or purchased?
  • experiencing troubles with your renovator / contractor regarding work they’ve done?
  • think you’ve overpaid for work done or are unsure about the workmanship and materials used?
  • as the owner of a home / building that was sold or leased, the buyers are making unreasonable demands of you?
  • as a contractor / renovator that has done work to a home or building your customers are being unreasonable and won’t pay you?

Whatever the concern might be, it’s never too late to have an inspection done to let you know the condition that things are in and whether your concerns are justified. Better yet, call us before you start the process of buying, selling, renovating or carrying out any maintenance work. We can review your documents (in conjunction with your lawyer), make recommendations and check out the work as its being done.

If you feel dispute resolution might be needed or require litigation support regarding problems with your house / building , give us a call.

When inspecting buildings we are often asked questions concerning various topics. Some of these queries can relate to issues not within the scope of a typical inspection. That’s not to say that information about these topics would not be useful however. For that reason, we wanted to include information on some of these topics your further review.

NOTICE: The information contained on the grassroots.ca website is not intended to be exhaustive nor does it necessarily apply to all buildings, systems, components and the likes. While some information may be able to be “transferred” to a building you’re interested in, it should not automatically be applied to it necessarily. It may however simply act as a prompter for areas you may wish to explore further. As such, the information herein is for information purposes only. It’s not intended to be an exhaustive listing of any / all related issues. Always consult a professional before purchasing, leasing or selling a building, or if proceeding with or considering any work to a building. Seek further professional advice, and, analysis including at least three (3) quotations from various professional reputable & qualified contractors before proceeding with any contemplated work, repairs, improvements, and / or, modifications to a building, to better establish the scope of any / all concerns.
