What the petition asks
There is not enough in place to protect vulnerable people from tradespeople who start works on their premises and fail to complete.
As soon as a tradesperson starts work it is seen as them having the intention to complete and becomes a civil matter. CCJs can be hard to enforce and going to court can be costly.
