PHUKET: Nine months after filing their complaint, a Belgian husband and wife are still fighting for Phuket Provincial Court to bring to trial the developers of the failed Ace 1 Condo Project in Patong.

 

The court today held its fifth hearing in the plea to bring the developers to trial.
 

Defendants listed on the public court docket are named as The Nine Property (Patong) Co Ltd, Miss Piyanuch Hansanan and Alisa Likitittiruks. All three stand accused of public fraud under Section 343 of Criminal Code.

 

The court received the complaint on August 1, 2016. and the hearings started on October 10 last year, with subsequent hearings on November 28, January 23, April 24 and now today.

 

During today’s session the judge received testimony from “Nadine Rene Stephanie Lamyns”, named as the second plaintiff. She is the wife of Belgian national Didier Giesen, named as the first plaintiff.

 

The couple filed a complaint alleging they were defrauded out of B1,144,000 paid as deposit for two units in the project that were never delivered, as the project was never completed

 

Mr Giesen pointed out that this was just one of many claims pending against the developers. “My friends are in the same situation as me, and it takes time.

 

“Today is not the first time for us at court. We already been here five times. Our lawyer is trying his best to present our case. They should pay us back or go to jail,” he said.

Whenever you put a deposit on an un-built structure you need insurance or an escrow account. I'm not sure if

Thailand has escrow accounts, but you could require the developer to buy a surety bond, which would cover

you if he didn't follow through on his commitment. Especially in Thailand you need Plan B because the court

systems here are so slow. It could take you years to get any monies from these peoples through the courts.
