ChairmanJay SG Anyone studies law here? Someone had verbally(sms) agreed to deal on something and now he backed out. Am I eligible to make him to compensate me? Help pls. need to know a little bit about law.
rmyfrm SG Yes you will be able to, provided you can make out a contractual agreement. Unless it’s of any real value (and by real I don’t mean a positive figure above 0), don’t bother because the legal costs in enforcing your claim would be too high.
Agenda SG there must be evidence in this case, means the sms while in real life, there must be 1st party to witness the agreement being passed
Ito_^ SG must have some form of evidence, best is the witness of multiple third persons. sms is not reliable. emails are more reliable. im not a lawyer, but i get alot of verbal agreements so i just take note of whatever bits of legal information i find.
FireIce SG u are going to pay thousands of lawyer fees to get back few hundred??? u gotta get out to see the world more
Ito_^ SG wah lau. the base charge for lawyer is gonna cost thousands. unless its a reputation thing that gonna ruin your business or career.. u psycho? maybe can same as me use small claims to shoot hot air.
