Good info - that's pretty much the way it works. Years ago we went after a contractor who'd sub-contracted some work to us. After we finished the job, he claimed he was never paid by the customer - so in turn couldn't pay us. We were out a few grand in materials and labour, and filed against the contractor in small claims. We met in private with the judge and got a settlement without going through the court motions.
