Suing a Contractor: Where to Start?

Questioner

How can I sue a contractor who suddenly disappeared without a trace. He ran off with our money, which was intended for construction materials

Lawyer

An annoying situation. If the contractor is still registered in the Chamber of Commerce, then he can be traced in this way. If he has really left with an unknown destination and also with the official authorities, then it all becomes a bit more difficult. You can then carry out the procedure, but that will only increase your costs, because it is then not possible to get the money back. If you don't, please contact me directly and I'll call you tomorrow to see if I can help you.
