attend court

Hi happy new year to all.!!!!!!

I think I have already mentioned on the form about us having to attend court in June to answer questions.

Has anybody else been to the court. I have read somewhere that a few days before they can say you dont have to attend. What about booking flights,should we book them just incase. Im so confused as to what to do.

Also what quetions will they ask ?they have all our info from our solicitor!!

Any help would be appreciated right now 

Thanks in advance

Hi

We were told that we had to attend Court last year but 2 weeks before the hearing they said we didn't have to go. They did say that only one of us had to go so thank goodness I only booked one flight. Never the less we were out of pocket yet again! Personally i would hang fire a bit but keep an eye on the flights, you just never know. 

Hi Thank you for reply.

I'm hoping this is whats going to happen to us,but if it means we will get our money I would go anywhere,lets see what happens,but i hope it will be worth it .

If anything the Spanish Courts are more relaxed than UK Courts and there is nothing to fear

If you are called to give evidence just tell the truth as you see it without getting annoyed but illiustrate all the presures you have and are suffering by the loss and time it has taken to get to court

A day or so before sit down with an A4 pad and write down your recollection of the purchase and all the pressures you have suffered due to this loss. Even calculate the extra travel cost you have incurred in trying to get your money back. Noting all the relevant dates of signing documents and paying the money. Everything will then be fresh in your mind

The discuss with your lawyer the questions you may be asked and the answers you intend to give

The only evidence you can give is on the facts and there is no benefit in blaming the Spanish legal system in their own Courts!

If you turn up and are not called to give evidence then that is a bonus. You have paid the travel costs which are more expensive than if you had a similar situation in UK , but then you did decide to buy a property in Spain

You are expecting to win and if you do so then the interest will more than compensate you for the travel cost 

Good luck but do not have any fear about appearing in a Spanish Court      

Thank Spanishpunter.

Were hoping we dont have to attend but in away it wiould be a good thing,like you say to let them see waht we have been through,a very stressful and costly experience,which I wouldn't want to repeat.

We are still and will be paying for our dream for the next 15 years,which is soul destroying.

Thank you for the great advice of noting everything down,I wouldnt of thought of this.We just it to be over now and get whats rightfuly ours.
