The primary difference between the two, and the one difference that matters in this case, is that general contractors are, by law, required to have a license.
Project managers, on the other hand, are treated as direct employees for each household client. This means they do not require a license to perform services. As such, Keating can still apply his experience as a project manager.
The situation as it stands now
As it currently stands, Norm Keating, his mother-in-law Melanie Peak and his wife Siobhan Keating currently face four separate lawsuits that levy a host of allegations against them.
Here are all current allegations and the defense presented by the accused:
Allegation: Norm Keating collected money from his clients but never completed his assigned tasks.
Defense: Norm Keating is prepared to show documented proof that this is not the case. Photos of ruined buildings depicted in the media are taken entirely out of context. When Keating stopped working, it was because these clients asked him to do so due to their “sudden discovery” of his criminal record.
