Our interior designer has not completed the work. Initial work was done in our flat by them after which we gave flat back to builder for pending work. When builder gave us the flat back We asked the interior designer to complete the rest of work. They want to start the work after a month, but since we are already staying in rented accommodation we don't want to delay possession. So we hired external carpenters, electricians to complete the work. Interior designer also didn't deliver many items which were included in initial quotation. Can we file a legal case against Interior designer and ask for compensation. We don't have any agreement on stamp paper with them but do have email trail and online payments done to prove the transaction and agreement we had with them.
