A friend of. mine suggested I send the workman a cheque for $100 with the words ‘‘payment in full’ written on the cheque. She says that if the repairman cashes it, he won't be able to collect the remaining $80. Is this good advice? Answer: Not really. The contractor may cash the cheque and im- mediately notify you that $80 is still owing on the account. The law would be on his side, another stating what he thinks the job is worth) may assist you in your claim. Question: My young son took several dollars worth of soft drink bot- tles down to the comer store for a refund, but was told he had to purchase merchandise with the money. Is this right? Answer: No. The Litter Act, admin- istered by the Ministry of En- vironment, clearly states that anyone who sells soft drinks with refundable containers must provide the purchaser with a cash refund when the containers are returned. Of course, no store is re- quired to accept containers for products it doesn’t sell. We passed this information along to the store owner. MAL.
