Consumer Claims Tribunal decisions not honoured

We must resume the regular publication of a list of traders who do not honour the decisions made by the Consumer Claims Tribunal (CCT) arbiter, Dr Martin Fenech. It is very important for consumers to know about such traders.

Therefore, 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 respective CCT arbiter's decision.

We will then feature the details of your case with all the relevant data naming the trader involved. Indeed such traders do not deserve our custom.

Simone Calaio vs Cecile Boutique

A decision on this case was made on September 6, 2005. The CCT arbiter, Dr Fenech, accepted Ms Calaio's claim and ordered Cecile Boutique to pay her Lm30. I appeal to Mr Jones (owner of Cecile Boutique) to pay Ms Calaio the Lm30. The expenses are to be shared by Ms Calaio and Mr Jones.

Josephine Attard vs Sandro Bianchi - Flexi Marketing Ltd

A decision on this case was made on June 9, 2005. Dr 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 accordingly.
