Consumer Claims Tribunal decisions not honoured

Josephine Attard (claimant) vs Sandro Bianchi - Flexi Marketing Ltd (defendant) Ref: CCT 131/05

The decision on this case was made on June 9, 2005. This is our tenth appeal about this case wherein the Consumer Claims Tribunal (CCT) Arbiter Dr Martin Fenech accepts Mrs Josephine Attard's claim and orders Sandro Bianchi of Flexi Marketing Ltd to pay Mrs Attard Lm400, and Lm50 as moral damages plus expenses against Flexi Marketing Ltd.

We have no other option but to continue to ask Mr Bianchi to honour the CCT Arbiter's decision which was made on January 24, 2006.

Mary A. Smith (claimant) vs C. Gauci - Waterproofing (defendant) Ref: CCT 120/04

The decision on this case was made on January 11, 2005. The CCT Arbiter Dr Fenech accepts Ms Mary A. Smith's claim and orders C. Gauci - WaterProofing to pay Ms Smith Lm800 plus expenses. This is our eighth appeal about this case and, in line with our new policy, we will continue to ask C. Gauci - Waterproofing to honour the CCT decision.

Simone Calaio (claimant) vs Cecile Boutique (defendant)

Ref: CCT 232/05

The decision on this case was made on September 6, 2005. This is our fourth appeal about this case wherein the CCT Arbiter Dr Fenech accepts Ms Simone Calaio's claim and orders Cecile Boutique to pay Ms Calaio Lm30. I appeal to Mr Jones (owner of Cecile Boutique) to pay Ms Calaio Lm30. The expenses are to be paid by Ms Calaio and Mr Jones.

Joseph & Rita Xerri (claimants) vs Viaggi Montebello (defendant) Ref: CCT 281/05

The decision on this case was made on May 30 and this is our first appeal about this case. The claimants booked and paid for a flight to London which, due to a bombing, was subsequently cancelled. On the other hand, the defendant sustained that what happened was not his fault. The CCT Arbiter Dr Fenech partially accepts the claimants' claim and orders the defendant to pay the claimants Lm100 plus expenses.

In any case, it is very important for consumers to know about traders who do not respect the CCT Arbiter Dr Fenech's decisions. Such traders do not deserve our custom. 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.
