1. Case Overview
The client commissioned the opposing party for a bathroom construction project but suffered severe water leakage damage due to an undeniable defect during the construction process. The client was placed in an unfair situation, having to spend a considerable amount of personal funds to prevent the spread of the leak and restore the damaged space to its original condition.

Beyond the mere fact that a defect occurred, the core of this case was strictly proving the following two points legally:
- Proof of Causation: Proving the direct cause and effect between the defect in the construction executed by the opposing party and the occurrence of the leak.
- Validity of Damages: Determining whether the costs claimed by the client for leak prevention and restoration were legally appropriate and necessary.

Law Firm Theo established a systematic and meticulous litigation strategy to fully recover the client’s unfair damages.
- Securing Objective Evidence and Proving Causation: Based on a careful analysis of the site situation and objective evidence, we clearly proved to the court that the cause of the leak was the opposing party’s faulty construction.
- Asserting the Justifiability of the Compensation Amount: We thoroughly calculated and strongly argued logically that the restoration costs spent by the client were by no means excessive and were strictly necessary and appropriate for repairing the defect.

4. Result of Assistance
The court recognized all of Law Firm Theo’s meticulous proofs and valid arguments. Consequently, the court ordered the opposing party to pay the full amount of damages claimed by the client, as well as statutory delay damages. Furthermore, we achieved a “Complete Plaintiff Victory” ruling that ordered the opposing party to bear all litigation costs, fully recovering the client’s damages.
