Public warning statement by the Malta Competition and Consumer Affairs Authority

A public warning statement has been issue by the Director General (Cosumers Affairs) within the Malta Competition and Consumer Affairs Authority against a local membrane layer

The Director General (Consumers Affairs) within the Malta Competition and Consumer Affairs Authority (MCCAA) has issued a public warning against a man who laid down membranein in an unsatisfactory manner.

The statement identifies Eman Zammit as not having honoured the decision delivered by the Consumer Claims Tribunal.   

“The consumer had obtained a subsidy of €360 from the Housing Authority to upgrade her home, but the entire membrane work was carried out badly. Originally, the claim was filed against the person whose name was indicated on the VAT receipt, but it transpired that the work had been carried out by Eman Zammit, who was therefore also joined in the suit. The latter never submitted a reply to the claim, nor attended the sitting.”

The tribunal noted, after hearing the consumers statement that her version was “credible and acceptable” and ordered Zammit to pay the amount of €360 with expenses.
