Hi. I am not sure if this is the correct forum so I will repost if advised.
A company (SubcontractorA) I was dealing working alongside on a project as SubcontractorB to a Lead Contractor asked me to complete some work on an unrelated project they were undertaking. There was no written contract supplied however there is a trail of emails around the work completed including the CEO who had originally requested the work I was doing. The invoice I have sent has been ignored and recently after many follow-ups they have requested that I provide a copy of the contract related to the work. Is it possible to force SubcontractorA to pay this outstanding invoice? Additionally, I discovered at a later date that SubcontractorA submitted my entire body of work as its own as part of the main project deliverables. SubcontractorA removed all my identification from this specific deliverable and also failed to deliver the work it was required to. In doing so my company also suffered significant financial losses. This was not a case of just plagiarism but of IP theft for the specific purpose of financial gain at my expense. Is this acceptable? It does not seem so.
Thanks for any feedback.
