John Wood Audio, a tale of woe

[jandl100]

Yes, it is very concerning that reference was clearly originally made to power amps, and "trial by forum" ensued to miss out on that very important point.

There's a lot wrong with what is going on in this thread, imho, so easy to get it wrong through casual mistakes.

Thorny one this, double edged sword on forum involvement on an ongoing legal matter I'd say, but hey ho.
To me, it really highlights the importance to get a SPECIFIC specification etc of what your buying on your invoice.

Good luck to both parties, always 3 sides to every story.

It is not an ongoing legal matter - the legal matter has been fully resolved by the court. If it was ongoing it wouldn't have been hosted here.

Like I said earlier, John either pays up and collects, or deals with the baliffs and the huge effect on his business. end of story really.

Except this casual mistake has left Geoff deeply out of pocket, in possession of faulty goods plus he is dealing with a vendor who clearly has no respect for the law. Ah well, it's only money eh?

That's not what I said, and not what I meant, Dave.
You have made a huge leap in assumption concerning something that you actually know nothing about.

Yet another example of the ills of "trial by forum".

This isn't 'trial by forum'. The case has been to court and it has found Mr Wood's defence to be unconvincing. Based on what we have here so far from both parties I would agree with that. Mr Wood needs to pay in full and arrange collection of his amplifier. Hopefully highlighting the issue here will result in that happy conclusion being reached.

Jerry, the object of this exercise wasn’t to conduct a ‘trial by forum’, but simply to allow both parties, the buyer and seller, to put their respective sides of the story in the dispute, in an attempt to reach an amicable solution to the matter.

The former has duly been achieved, although sadly the latter looks unlikely.

However, I think it’s important that people have access to a platform, such as AoS, in order to express their concerns when situations like these arise, and providing that no ‘witch hunts’ are carried out (we always recognise that there are always two sides to every story) and discussions are conducted in a respectful and constructive manner, we’re happy to host them.

It’s about giving people a voice, and I believe very strongly in that

Marco.

I love you too Jerry...

Ah, wasn't aware o' that.
