Violation

Machine-translated summary — verify against original

The representative of FreeFactory, within Kobe City, entered into a subcontracting contract exceeding the standard amount for minor construction work without holding a construction business license. This constitutes a violation of Article 28, Paragraph 2 of the Construction Business Act. Furthermore, in the relevant construction work, despite the initial contract being modified due to additional costs, the company did not deliver a written document outlining the changes. This violates Article 19, Paragraph 2 of the Construction Business Act.
