someone with reporting misconduct in order to extract compensation. It is
considered extortion. On the other hand, Older GC can just report the
conduct. After he does so, often times, the CILB will require
restitution. Also, if the Younger GC pays the money due, Older GC can
agree to withdraw his complaint. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

and younger GC goes to work for older GC's company. Younger GC agrees to
work only for older GC's company and to develop older GC's business. They both
agree that Younger GC shall, under his old company name, complete all existing
jobs of which there are not many. Later, younger GC asks older GC for a
loan to finish a two jobs because he took money to do the jobs, and spent the
money before the permits were issued. He did not have enough money to finish the
jobs. It is unknown whether the jobs were ever finished. During his
employment Younger GC promises verbally (and in writing when he signed his
resignation letter) to pay back the loan. He made similar verbal
promises after he left his employment. It is now obvious to older GC that he is
not going to be paid back his money. Can older GC threaten younger GC with
a complaint to the CILB regarding younger GC's financial irresponsibility in
failing to properly manage the funds on the two jobs and also for refusing to
pay back older GC for the loan in order to inspire younger GC to repay the loan?
If such a complaint is made, will the CILB sanction younger GC? Or, is
this improper for older GC to make the threat in order to get paid the money
back.</SPAN> <SPAN style="DISPLAY: inline; VISIBILITY: hidden"
