A master painter from Amerang is suing influencer Cathy Hummels for unpaid work in her Munich villa.
Painter sues Cathy Hummels: dispute over 13,000 euros in Munich!
In an unexpected turn of events, influencer Cathy Hummels is currently causing a stir: a master painter from Amerang has taken legal action against her. The reason? Hummels is said to have failed to pay over 13,000 euros for extensive work in her Munich villa, including an elaborate rose decoration in the stairwell. This news is reported by innsalzach24.de.
Cathy Hummels criticized the execution of the painting work and refused to pay, which led to a conflict between the painter and the influencer. The case is attracting attention not only on social media but also in the legal context. However, a court date in July at the Munich regional court could already be superfluous, as a clarifying telephone conversation has already taken place between Hummels and the painter. An out-of-court settlement seems within reach.
Legal background and challenges
This case raises important questions about the legal situation regarding craft work. According to the Chamber of Crafts and the consumer advice center, such disputes are not uncommon. As a rule, a work contract is concluded that provides for final acceptance. Before acceptance, the craftsman must prove that there are no defects, while the customer must prove defects after acceptance. This is a common problem that many people experience.
Typical difficulties that buyers experience with tradesmen include incomplete services, delays or even cost overruns. In such cases, clients can, among other things, request improvements or even withdraw from the contract, as anwalt.de explains.
Tips for consumers
For customers who could run into similar difficulties, experts recommend always recording defects in writing and giving them at least 14 days to make improvements. It also makes sense to make payments “conditionally” until all defects have been remedied. In order to avoid difficulties with craftsmen, you should be careful when selecting the craftsman and make clear, detailed agreements about services and costs.
How the situation between Hummels and the painter ultimately develops remains to be seen. However, one thing seems certain: a good hand in selecting craftsmen can not only save time and nerves, but also a lot of money.
