It never that simple, the fact that you talking about work not done but require a COC, could mean that the work not done is included in the COC, hence the reason he has not issued you the COC. You need to explain a little better.
To give you an idea, I went to a house to do a test report, repairs then issued a COC, 2 months later I got a call form a lawyer who informed me that parts of the installtion that I had signed off was non compliant.
From that statement I would be the bad electrician woh issues COC's without making everything compliant, yes I was at fault.
Why would a person like me issue a non complaint COC, simple I got caught by the electrical contractor who was living in the house. While doing the test report I identified all the non compliant parts, made a list, part of the list was all the security lights around the building wired in twin flex. When I got the call from the lawyer, I knew straight away what had happened. The electrical contractor indicated that all the security lights and a few other non compliant wires hanging on the building belonged to him, he indicated that he was going to take all the lights and wiring with him when he left. Both times I returned to site and replaced all the wiring at my cost.
So tell us the whole story, why he is not issuing the COC and why you not paying, or better still ask him to respond to this post and tell his side of the story.
