Leave the clients kit out of it. Theft is not the answer to B2B payment disputes.

You cannot withold the client's equipment for their not paying you. The former is the criminal act of theft, the latter is merely a civil matter.

Non payment - but in possession of client equipment.
A client has taken it upon themselves to not to pay me for a day of work that I've invoiced for. The scenario was that their own client chose to decline my service (not due to poor workmanship or negligence) only 15 minutes into the working day. Based on the fact, I still expect to receive payment for a full days work as I'm out of pocket to the tune of two hours travel time, associated costs, inconvenience and unreasonable conduct by the third party.
I've addressed the situation and expressed disappointment with my client - the client says the third party is refusing to pay for the day of service, but at present I've chosen to continue providing services for my client. The major disappointment is that my client was not firm enough with the third party in demanding payment, or point blank refusing to provide services if payment was not forthcoming. My client is still providing services to the third party - effectively penalising me rather than them which is leaving a bad taste in my mouth.
My question is - should relations deteriorate between myself and my client - how do I stand from a legal point of view if I choose to keep a piece of the clients equipment taken as my remuneration?Tags: None
