Procedure

Even though I have "won" in 2 Courts (I won the award in Small Claims Court and the Administrative Law Judge recommended that the Complaint and Citation be dismissed as frivolous.) The ROC has already dismissed the Complaint and Citation, but the ROC website STILL indicates that there is an "open case." I was told that this is PROCEDURE.

As the owner or myself can still APPEAL the decision of the ROC, it must be listed as such. How strange.

I would not appeal it, as I had won. And it's not likely the owner will either. The Small Claims Decision is UNAPPEALABLE. The money side is done. And what would be gained by attempting to reverse the decision of the Court and the ROC? A lawyer is required to go before the State Superior Court. The owner would need to produce new and/or different evidence. Nothing has changed since the job was finished. Now he would be spending money but to no advantage.

It's obvious to all parties concerned that this was all about forestalling payment or denying it altogether. Of course, now that he has lost there is a Judgement Lien on his home. And everyone knows it for what it is. Evidence is now being gathered to show that this has always been an attempt to Perpetrate a Crime.

All of this frivolous accusation and manipulating of the System has been done with Criminal Intent. The consequences will be severe. It is now but a matter of time.
