VerifiedPeter G. :
Hello. I am a practising Victoria solicitor.
Peter G. :
I want to be very practical here. There is no doubt you have all the rights on your side, but having rights does not necessarily mean that they will be satisfied.
Peter G. :
A solicitor hearing this story will immediately suspect that the supplier has some financial difficulties. Holding a large deposit and nothing happening for seven months.
Peter G. :
This may or may not be the case. Can you tell me whether this company has a physical presence - whether you could go to their premises and discuss this with them?
