Preserving proof of a construction defect
The situation
A buyer found serious defects after handover. The contractor denied everything and planned to “fix” traces before any inspection. Without timely proof, a later lawsuit would be weak.
How we approach it
We advised commissioning a bailiff (thừa phát lại) to make an official record (vi bằng) of the defects, with photos and description, and coordinated timing so the record supported a civil claim or settlement.
Possible outcome
The vi bằng froze the factual picture. Facing that record, the contractor agreed to remedial work and compensation without waiting years for a judgment alone.
