Reclaiming payments due to non-performance of work

Questioner

In December I commissioned the garden company in consultation to re-pave the street, tiles were ordered by him and paid by me for approximately €1025.00 Finally, after a lot of texting back and forth, he indicated last week that it was not going ahead because the stones were not delivered, said he would refund the amount, but nothing has happened to date, I have sent him a letter by email stating that I want the money back in my account within 14 days. What action can I take next? I don't think he is affiliated with a dispute committee. Thanks in advance for your response.

You should (also) terminate the agreement. This creates obligations to undo. This obliges the other party to make a refund. If this does not happen, you could/should seek legal assistance. A next step would be to start a procedure (whether or not via the disputes committee if it would be competent).
