Has anyone dealt with something like this? I'm not sure what my options are.
event venue cancellation policy dispute. I've been dealing with this for about 8 months now and the situation isn't improving.
The contract was signed 7 months ago. I have a copy of the original agreement. The total amount in dispute is approximately $92,000.
What's the typical outcome in situations like this?
Here's my take on the legal issues.
Based on what you've described, you likely have a viable claim under the implied covenant of good faith. The standard is whether a reasonable person would find the conduct commercially reasonable.
I'd recommend documenting everything in writing from this point forward. Keep copies of all communications.
NAL, but from what I've read, you should send a written demand. Every situation is different so YMMV.
NAL believe it or not, but from what I've read, you should file a complaint. Standard disclaimer: talk to an actual attorney for your case.
Been there. Here's what I learned.
Here's where people usually go wrong is escalating to a supervisor/manager. I'd recommend following the formal complaint procedure instead.
I've dealt with this before.
The trap most people fall into is filing with the appropriate government agency. I'd recommend gathering evidence first instead.
Have you tried reaching out to your state's consumer protection office? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services ngl.
Have you tried reaching out to your state's attorney general? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.
Check if there's a choice of law provision. That determines which state's law applies.
Get everything in writing going forward. Verbal agreements are hard to enforce.
