Legal tip 991. What Keith Rule victory means
Monday, July 22, 2013 @ 9:03 AM

Back in 2008, when Keith Rule contacted us to fight against Banks using Law 57/68 there were just one Court Decission which could back our battle and some lawyerslaughing at our attempts

Along the following years Keith started the Finca Parcs website as well as the Bank Guarantees in Spain petition. We started to study cases and Law doctrine on a continued basis and write articles and posts on this. Continued daily efforts since September 2008 when he first contacted us, mainly promoted by him and his wish to make justice for him and other victims of same problem.

From 2008 to 2013, Case Law backing his perspective started to proliferate, possibly in part due to Keith constant fight and exposure of the problem before authorities and victims and our legal writtings in English and Spanish. Many lawyers started to see and understand the angle which has been unused in the past.

Of course Keith Rule did not discover Law 57/68  but he certainly promoted a new way to use it and the application of provision 1.2 which had been non existent to the date. Both Hellin and Albacete used these new arguments to give victory to our clients. Keith insisted on liabilities when no Bank Guarantees were issued as the frank boy in the Emperor´s new cloth. Law was there but no one has applied it before as he suggested us to do.

Keith has received congrats from many lawyers in Spain as well as that of his Government and Ambassador in Spain, just one lawyer is still questionnig the sincerity and the value of his actions: that´s just life.

Keith has now joined our team and we are full steam to work for other people in similar situations.

A huge thanks and admiration again for his work

Hi Maria, Well said, you, your colleagues and of course Keith have done us all proud. I think I know the lawyer to whom you are refering and I think "the green eyed monster" has raised his ugly head. in fact it wasn't that long ago when he was calling you all "ambulance chasers"
