If the other party is at fault and the area isn't regulated by legislation, you might be able to sue, but if you are out $10,000, its hard to see the gain after paying your lawyer and waiting 3 years for the case to resolve. In Canada we can get "costs" if we are successful but rarely actual solicitor costs, so the cost of winning can exceed what you recover.
