At Aphiwat Law, we understand the importance of protecting consumers and their rights. Our team of experienced lawyers specializes in consumer protection and is dedicated to providing clients with the best possible representation in court.
One of our most recent cases involved a group of 20 buyers who were seeking justice against a big real estate developer. Our clients were part of a group of over 500 buyers who had invested in a new development, but were left in the lurch when the developer stopped construction due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The developer tried to claim that the money invested by the buyers was an investment contract with a high interest offer, but our team knew that this was not the case. Instead, we argued that the developer was running a Ponzi scheme and that the contract was written in a way that bent the facts to make it appear legitimate.
The case was heard in the Chiang Mai Provincial Court, and we are proud to say that our clients emerged victorious. The court ruled in their favor, and our legal expertise helped our clients navigate the complex consumer protection process.
One of the biggest challenges we faced in this case was the opposition we faced from a well-known lawyer who was representing the developer. The developer had also drafted a tricky contract, which made our job even more difficult. However, we remained focused on the facts and were able to successfully prove that the money invested by the buyers was not being used for construction, but was instead part of a scheme.
Another challenge we faced was that the developer had hidden the property, making it difficult for us to seize it and enforce the judgement. Despite this, our team was not deterred and was able to overcome these obstacles to achieve a successful outcome for our clients.
We are proud to serve clients in English, making it easier for clients to understand the legal process and the steps we are taking on their behalf. Our commitment to consumer protection and our focus on delivering results make us one of the top law offices in Chiang Mai.
