Q: I am going to be trying a case in civil court in Daytona vs a handyman I need to see wins vs handymen to help my case.
Was going to have an above ground pool, changed my mind due to expense. A local handyman (incompetent) got a check from me for $750 to build a deck that included materials and labor ($15hr) I would add more $ at completion. In mediation he said he was getting $25hr-outright lie. I'm using FL Statute Title XLVI Chapter 812 Theft, Robbery, and Related crimes proving (c) he willfully misrepresented a future act (saying he could be an electrician, never refunded me), or false promise. (d)1. Conduct previously known as stealing or obtaining money by false pretenses, fraud or deception. All he did was pay for and remove one sprinkler head incorrectly. While doing (6) (a) Repairs/improvements to property. I'm also using FL Statute Title XXX Social Welfare Adult protective svs as I'm 63, widowed on SS disability since 2006 being a "vulnerable adult who has been exploited". I need to see a case WON using these Statutes to help promote my case. Any other statutes to help?
