I agreed a price and timeline with a contractor by WhatsApp and in person, and paid a deposit. They started work, then stopped showing up and won’t return the money. What remedies do I have to enforce the agreement or recover my deposit?

Hello,
Yes, you most certainly can. It's better if you have some evidence to support your case such as, conversations and text messages, receipts and better if you have someone that is a witness to your verbal agreement or that knows you paid the contractor for the job. Its better too if you know the name and contact for the contractor as well as the business name. This can be pursued as a claim against the defaulter in the Cayman Islands Law Courts. However, we could begin with demand letters and warnings to the contractor and escalate from there depending on their response or lack of response. HALO Legal Solutions would also perform the services of process required for your matter.
Please feel free to reach out to me HALO Legal Solutions Cayman Islands for further consultation on this matter.
