Consumer Claims Tribunal decisions not honoured

Josephine Attard vs Sandro Bianchi - Flexi Marketing Ltd. Ref: CCT 131/05

This is our seventh appeal on this case in which Consumer Claims Tribunal (CCT) arbiter Martin Fenech accepted Mrs Attard's claim and ordered Mr Bianchi to pay her Lm400, and Lm50 as moral damages, plus expenses, against Flexi Marketing Ltd.

We have no other option but to continue asking Mr Bianchi to honour the CCT arbiter's decision, made on January 24.

Mary A. Smith vs C. Gauci - Waterproofing. Ref: CCT 120/04

The decision on this case was made on January 11, 2005 - more than 18 months ago. Dr Fenech accepted Ms Smith's claim and ordered C. Gauci - WaterProofing to pay Ms Smith Lm800, plus expenses.

This is our fifth appeal on this case and, in line with our new policy, we will continue asking C. Gauci - Waterproofing to honour the CCT decision.

Simone Calaio vs Mr Jones - Cecile Boutique. Ref: CCT 232/05

This is our first appeal on this case in which Dr Fenech accepted Ms Calaio's claim and ordered Cecile Boutique to pay her Lm30. I appeal to Mr Jones to pay Ms Calaio. The expenses are to be paid by Ms Calaio and Mr Jones.

Finally, if you have referred a case to the CCT; a decision was made by the Arbiter in your favour; and the respective trader refuses to honour the Arbiter's decision; write to me and send me a copy of the CCT Arbiter's decision.

It is important for consumers to know about traders who do not respect the CCT Arbiter's decisions. Such traders do not deserve our custom.
