Manicure Confinement

She didn't refuse to pay.

Dissatisfied with the work, she offered to pay half the amount.

The owner of the salon subsequently locked all the doors and wouldn’t let her leave until she paid the full amount.

Consumer rights advocates say a business has no right to lock people inside.

The complainant, however, was within her rights to refuse to pay, as long as she left contact information so that the business could take legal action.

“If you’ve got something that you don’t like, you’re pretty stupid if you just take it and be quiet and walk away from it,” said Bruce Cran of the Consumers Association of Canada.

The police said if she did not pay it would be fraud. This was according to her own family. So not an assumption but thanks for playing. If you do not understand that you pay now and go to court later you do not understand fraud.

I most certainly do understand fraud and I expect the police will be issuing a statement regarding what the officer said.

The customer's family said the officer who arrived threatened to arrest her for fraud if she didn't pay up – a response Sarah Leamon of Leamon Roudette Law Group argued would be hard to justify.

Leamon said she's only privy to the details that have been reported in the media, but she doesn't see "any basis for a fraud allegation here."

The RCMP will also look at whether the responding officer acted appropriately.
