i got 2000 dollar deposit to my sell my truck for 18500 dollars totall. with a finalization of every thing after 11 days. untill then he changed his mind. and backed of from the deal. i have some quistions in regards XXXXX XXXXX went on, now he has filed a case in small claims court.

agreement was made in bc canada and truck is here as well

i told the buyer i am leaving bc for alberta day after tomorrow and he can talk to my friend and finish the deal with him on agreed upon date, now one of the excuses he is trying to make is that i was not present

can he back off from the deal saying there was some safty issue with the with the truck. although that was not in the agreement.

or deal is deal no matter what- specific to canadian law

counterclaiming cost 156$ i did ended up coming back from alberta since deal not go throuhg and i was looking forward to use that money to buy another truck in alberta. i still dont wanna counterclaim unless it put some good effect on the judge.

mainly my friend called him twice on the last day. but claiment just emailed me around 1:30pm saying he is waiting by the truck. but he did not answer two calls made by my friend erleir that day

he new my friend as i had introduced them and my friend was witness to the deal on the agreement. but claiment did not answer or called him back. he claims he called me but no calls came on my phone. he says my phone was off. but i talked to several people on that day
