Sentence: £3,885.84 fine, costs, and surcharge
Andrew Keith Piner was paid £1,880 to provide a summerhouse and a gate but failed to carry out the work despite texting the customer in May 2023 to say it would be ready that week. In June 2023, he admitted there was no summerhouse or gate and promised a refund, but none was provided, forcing the 77-year-old resident to instruct a solicitor and leading to a trading standards investigation.
