The Able Group, Lousy Service, possible Breach of Contract?

MoneySavingNovice

In my view you don’t have a case.


The loss that you refer to regarding “Three hours of my time wasted finding an alternative contractor” is unlikely to be accepted as reasonable, given that if the company in question had advised upfront that they were unable to do the work you would have still needed to find an alternative contractor.


Hance given the information you have provided here you don’t appear to have suffered a loss and therefore will not succeed in any legal action. The other problem you have is that you might of already prejudiced your case by the very fact that you have posted here.

Dear MS Novice all that you have said above is in conflict with the advice given by highly experienced (in Contract law) posters on the private parking fines board. Perhaps you should visit it, you might then wish to revise your advice,

so (they) sent that as an apology

They most certainly did not. Did you actually read my OP?

I am becoming so frustrated with this swathe of misinformation and failure to understand not only the problem, but to misquote Contract Law.

MoneySavingNovice

Interesting. Personally I don't see any disagreement between my comments and those you refer to. Hence my view remain unchanged.


You are fully entitled to pursue any legal action you so wish. If you choose to go ahead please let us know how you get on.


Perhaps you would like to expand on why you consider that you do have a case given that I and many others here believe that you don’t.

Because in the past when I have gone to the small claims court I have been successful. Two tenants, an RTA, Fiat, and an Amazon partner. Such a record gives one confidence.

Then stump up the money and pay for a lawyer/small claims court seeing as you think you have a case

Do let us know how you got on won't you?

I am 100% confident that the courts will not take past unrelated cases into account when considering the present situation. (Except where a legal precedent has been established)



The advice provided here by the majority if not all is that given the information you have provided you have not incurred a loss, or consequential loss,therefore will not be entitled to compensation. The legal point of principle that you need to take into account should you win a case the courts will put you back into the same position you would have been if the breach had not occurred. As you have not incurred a loss it does not appear to be worthwhile to pursue such a case.



You have complained the people have not understood your issue and points of law. Hence I have previously asking you to clarify your position. The reason this question was asked was to establish if there were any salient points which may support your view.


Therefore I ask again, can you expand on the reasons that you consider that you have a case, which are pertinent to this current situation?

If it takes him three hours to find a repair man, goodness knows how long it will take him to find a solicitor!

As a busy professional landlord do you not have underlings who deal with repair issues for you ?
