errr… I think it’s a lot of money for someone who is working on a contract basis from Pakistan. I wouldn’t let it go even if I were in Canada. The contractor should go after the company to get whatever is possible even if it is a fractional amount, and the company needs to be reported so that it doesn’t become a repeat offender.
That being said, I do agree that the contractor should follow some best practices such as the use of project agreements and escrow funding to safeguard against such incidents in the future.

You are passing an opinion without considering the process and costs involved. Its easier said than done. The dude has no one in Canada to represent him and is not even Canadian citizen. Even if he hires someone or a paralegal firm (Forget an actual lawyer and litigation process), no one would take his case unless he pays upfront. Even if he pays upfront, he will not be guaranteed that the case would be won because the defending party will definitely sue him in return and I can go on and on…

Realistically speaking, there is really nothing he can do other than filing a complaint… I do have sympathy for Mr. Farisi but that is life. The sooner he writes it off as bad debt and moves on, the better.

In the end, I sincerely hopes that he learned his lesson not to end up being too vulnerable next time.
