Make it illegal for tradesman to operate without insurance
It's illegal to drive a car without insurance, but not illegal for tradesman to work without liability insurance. This means that when they harm or damage properties there is no chance of redress. In my case a neighbour contracted someone who damaged my property. Those people who are vulnerable (elderly and poor) can't take them to court and those who can, can't make them pay a single penny. A CCJ or even bankruptcy is not sufficient to deter these scoundrels.
It's easy for them to lie and cheat their way around with no real risk to themselves. Maybe some time in prison would help persuade them otherwise. Time to protect the public against such people and then we wouldn't need programmes like rogue traders any more!
You can't sign this petition because it is now closed. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
