Service Agreement Dispute — event venue cancellation policy dispute

Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.

event venue cancellation policy dispute. I've been dealing with this for about 4 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

The contract was signed 16 months ago. I have a copy of the original agreement. The total amount in dispute is approximately $45,000.

Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?

This happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with the relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing a lawyer.

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

In my case, it took about 4-8 months to resolve. The key was filing with the appropriate government agency.

I've handled similar cases. Here's my take on the legal issues.

This is a common situation and the law is fairly clear. Under UCC Article 2, a material breach.

The practical consideration here is cost vs. potential recovery. For disputes under $10K, small claims court is often the best route.

I had a similar issue and ended up consulting with an attorney. It was worth the $200-300 for the initial consultation just to understand my rights.

Following this thread — I'm in a very similar situation. Would love to hear how it turns out.

I've seen this play out several times in my field.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.

I've dealt with this before.

In my case, it took about 1-3 months to resolve. The key was escalating to a supervisor/manager.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

I ended up having everything documented, which cost about $3-6 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.
