Tribunal rejects Senai contractor’s appeal for three-year period to refund claimant

Claimant Abdul Razak is grateful that the tribunal decided to uphold the original payment arrangement.

Johor Consumer Claims Tribunal has rejected a contractor’s appeal that he be allowed to refund RM17,695.07 to his client in monthly instalments over three years.

In his defence, the respondent claimed he was facing financial difficulties that would make it hard for him to settle the sum within two weeks as ordered by the tribunal.
