Money Recovery from India from Georgia: how it works
We review the contract, invoices and payment records, send a legal notice and, if needed, file the appropriate proceedings after pre-institution mediation.
Recovered money is remitted to Georgia through banking channels.
Where an Indian tour operator or agent has failed to pay a Georgian hotel or tourism business, we also look at consumer and contract remedies specific to the travel trade.
Hotels and tour operators in Georgia sometimes give credit to Indian travel agents for group bookings; we review the booking contracts and payment terms and pursue unpaid amounts through notices and suits.
We also advise on drafting future agency contracts with advance deposits and clear cancellation terms.
What clients in Georgia should know
- Keep a reconciliation of balances.
- Start proceedings well within three years of non-payment.
- Build arbitration into future deals.
