Gardening Threat

We have received a new bill from the previous gardeners, delivered to me by hand, this contains the required Fiscal number and I.V.A. content. The delivery was accompanied by verbal threats to make a Denuncia and take court proceedings to recover the amount claimed. I have also had texts sent to me demanding details that would allow them to make the Denuncia.

At the last Committee meeting, it was agreed that we would pay some of the money claimed, but not all, as the view was that the the amount claimed did not reflect the work allegedly done. It was requested that I speak with Mi Sol Lawyers to find out whether paying part of the bill would constitute an acknowledgement of the whole bill.

I have spoken to the Lawyer, and will put her recommendations to the Committee at the next meeting for their decision. The Lawyers were also very interested to know whether the gardening company had paid Social Security for the workers they employed on Mi Sol. Whilst there are no direct ramifications to the Community if these workers dues are not paid, it is a serious offence should it be proved the company were using unregistered labour, the company could be liable to a large fine.
