Disputes Tribunal orders couple to pay architect $33k for holiday home sketches they didn’t like

A couple has been ordered by the Disputes Tribunal to pay an architecture firm $33,000 after they refused to pay for design sketches of their holiday home, claiming dissatisfaction. The couple had engaged the firm for architectural designs in 2021, but the relationship deteriorated upon completion of the designs in February 2022.

Explain It To Me Like I’m 5: A couple didn’t like the pictures an architect made for their holiday home, so they didn’t want to pay, but a judge said they have to give the architect $33,000 anyway.
