I think this is the type of civil-law monetary claim that would be handled as a civil case in the court system or by arbitration. From "The Path of the Righteous Gentile," chapter 11:
6. In civil matters, that is cases between individual parties, ... the accepted opinion, however, is that Noahide judges and courts of law are to render legal decisions according to their own laws and principles of law.
7. Arbitration and mediation or any other means of finding an amicable settlement or compromise, thereby avoiding a [civil] court trial, is desirable, and, more than that, it is a commandment to seek compromise.
