Abergate Screws up on a
job and gets their
a pompous
arrogant Attorney to send a Lawyers Letter to
the Client..
To Abrogate
Letter of Demand
Att - Scott.
We refer to the Waterproofing Contract that you
carried out on the Complex in General and on
unit 6 in particular.
As you can see it is a total disaster, which you
and the body Corporate have known about since
the 4th December 2012.
I also place on record my concerns as shown in
the 2 emails shown below.
As you can see from the Photographs sent on the
4th December 2012 to you and the
Trustees and the Photographs attached to this
email, we have a major leakage problem, which
is directly linked to unsupervised and shoddy
workmanship carried out by your employees.
It is also because of using inferior products.
The Entire ceiling in the lounge and dining room
needs to be replaced and painted, the wooden
flooring and trim needs to be replaced, and
damage to furniture and carpets need to be
sorted out. We estimate the total costs to be in
the region of R150,000 (one hundred and fifty
thousand rand only)
We therefore insist that the position is
corrected within 7 working Days.
Failing which our Legal advisers Legal Wise,
will Issue a High Court Summons or obtain a
Court order forcing you to correct and restore
the position..
All legal Costs will be for your / BC account.
Action Required:
To remove the Ceilings in the Lounge and Dining
Room and Investigate where the water is coming
from.
Remove all the waterproofing from the unit and
have it Professionally redone under a
Professional Engineer’s Supervision.
Replace the Wooden Flooring and trim.
Plaster of damaged Walls.
Have certain Items of Furniture re polished and
the Leather inlay re treated.
Have the Tantalus restored.
Paint the new Ceilings with Double Velvet.
Issue a separate written 10 year Guarantee on
Unit 6 so that we can proceed with our plans for
the unit.
This is a major problem with the unit, and is
delaying our efforts to sort out a problem with
the Complex.
Your failure to give us a plan of action within
the next 48 hours will result in me, without any
further notification, instructing the attorneys
to proceed, and having you Black listed.
Yours Faithfully,
The Normal Rubbish Lawyers received

Dear Sir
We act for Abrogate.
We have been forwarded your e-mail below for attention and reply.

the use of inferior products.
Purely without prejudice to our client’s rights, our client is

done and discuss your concerns at a mutually
acceptable time and date. Please would you
telephone Karen at our client’s office to set up
a meeting in this regard.

client’s rights are strictly reserved.
Please note further that should you proceed with any litigation as
threatened, we hold instructions to vigorously
defend any such steps that you may take, and
