Depends on the contract. Written contract. Sometimes a contract will have something called a "kill fee" which means that the 'down payment' is really the amount he or she needs to be paid to even attempt the job.
So its hard to say without knowing what the written contract says.
If there is no contract, then it becomes a verbal contract which is pretty much a problem, since there is no proof of what was said. Naturally, a written contract is best.
If there was a written contract with no kill fee and the contractor skipped on the job, it is something that can be pursued in court. I don't know if it's larceny, per se, but it certainly is illegal to break a contract (in most cases)

Does the settlement state while he replaced into meant to start the job, i might wait out the the rest days and notice if he completes the undertaking. If he fails to realize this then definite.. he has breached the settlement. he would be entitled to pay for the centers he did grant, except it states interior the settlement that no funds would be made to him except that's finished by using the time decrease. i might touch an lawyer for civil fits and locate out added info. It expenditures no longer something for a consultation with maximum lawyer's and not something beats a failure yet a attempt. stable good fortune!

Not really, you have to give more info than that also any court you must prove that you tried to resolve it. If both of you did, you must prove criminal intent or malice. This is often difficult. Also, is he insured and bonded???? If he is not, you will win hands down in civil court, especially if he said he was licensed and it turns out he is not. Plus did you sign a contract????

Not necessarily, what percentage he received compared to the work done? What are his excuses for not finishing? foe e.a. If there is unsafe conditions to work there it will be his right. Need more details...
