The condo unit I bought was delivered a year and a half late. The developer said they're only paying 50% of the late charges because they have some difficulties. Obviously I'm not happy with that and will be claiming for 100% of what's due to me. Did they think I'd care for a second that they have difficulties and therefore forgive them and "donate" the remaining 50% as charity?
So no matter how much hassle it may be to claim my hard earned moolah, I will.
To start with, I'm supposed to bring up some documents to the tribunal and the developer thereafter. And supposedly I'll be called to court to attend the hearing where I will need to represent myself. Apparently it is a sure win case as no developer should be able to run away from what is documented in black and white. Well at least that's the reason I'm told I won't need a lawyer.
I have yet to start the process but will definitely get down to it. After all, who isn't motivated by monetary reward? :)
Anyone out there who has been through this and can offer me some help/tips/advise, etc? I would much appreciate it.

I thought you gave up blogging as I always looked at your cat blog !
It's rather difficult to give you an advise as laws are different in every country. Over here they would have to pay you the amount you had to pay for renting from the day on they promised you it would be finished until today and other costs you had because of the delay.And probably you could also claim a moral dammage.
How is little cat ?
Here I am again, but for something completely different ! Cats !
I have a proposition to make if you could read it on http://gattinamycats.blogspot.com/
Have got this idea yesterday going from Blog to Blog for Thursday 13 group !
hi gattina. i should return to my cat blog soon :) i voted for your sunday cat blogging.
you're right, every country does it their own way...i don't think we have the same as what you described.
YES ! Sure win case ! My friends did it and he said not so susah wan. The important thing is don't sign any settlemen with the developer! If they tok somemore, wack them lor ! LOL!
Hi there! I am a lawyer. Yes, you can conduct the case yourself at the tribunal.
On the practical aspect, you should also see whether you are dealing with a reputable developer. If you are, you should go all the way and pressure them to give you what is due to you. On the other hand, if the developer is not so reputable or is going to go bust, you may want to take whatever you can grab.
By the way, nice blog. Any new templates? :)
Oh, I just read further down in your blog that it's MK Land. Go for it! Ask for every penny.
