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

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

The decision on this case was made on September 6, 2005. CCT arbiter Martin Fenech accepted Ms Calaio's claim and ordered Mr Jones to pay her Lm30.

I appeal to Mr Jones (owner of Cecile Boutique) to pay Ms Calaio Lm30. Expenses are to be paid by Ms Calaio and Mr Jones.

Joseph and Rita Xerri vs Viaggi Montebello. Ref: CCT 281/05

The decision on this case was made on May 30. The claimants booked and paid for a flight to London which, due to some bombing, was subsequently cancelled. On the other hand, the defendant sustained that what happened was not his fault. CCT arbiter Martin Fenech partially accepted the Xerris' claim and ordered the defendant to pay them Lm100, plus expenses.

Victor Degiorgio vs Lawrence Azzopardi. Ref: CCT 74/00

The decision on this case was made on October 31, 2000. On having taken cognisance of Degiorgio and Azzopardi's claim of Lm250 paid for the grouting, CCT arbiter Martin Fenech partially accepted their claim and ordered Mr Azzopardi to pay them Lm130, plus expenses.

In any case it is very important for consumers to know about traders who do not respect CCT arbiter Martin 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.
