We were engaged by my client to renovate his house . My client for the first few payment was good but the last and final payment were delay almost
1 year now. We have been informed by my client that there were defects in his house .For your info some of the Tiling works were carried out by my client contractors
and some of the electrical and painting works were done by himself. As such the cause for defects comes from the floor slab above the car porch area whereby the floor tiles were carried out by his own sub contractor. My question is can he hold my payments just for the defective works done by his own contractor and moreover his brother a lawyer is his adviser on this matter.Please give legal advise and thanks for your information.
