Alicante Provintial Court believes the lawyer was negligent , given the failure of its obligation to not require the seller granting of guarantees in regards of the advanced payment acording to Law 57/68.
The injury that buyers have suffered is the deprivation of the possibility of executing the guarantees to recover the amounts paid. ,
Accordingly, the defendant ( LAW FIRM) is sentenced to refund the buyers, ( claimants in this action) all amounts paid by this.
Dear Maria,
Is it possible for you to give us some more information on this case, and the details of the lawyers/ law firm, who have had the balls to buck the trend and actually prosecute another lawyer.
In our case all our deposits were paid directly into our Lawyers Bank Account, which he forwarded to the developers bank without securing a Bank Guarantee, and he failed to deposit this money, into a "Special Account" as per LEY 57/68. He also failed to include the details of this Bank in our Contract, and failed to attach a hard copy of the Planning Consent, and since there never was any Planning Consent our property was never built. Now he ignores our requests for information, therefore we cannot identify which Bank held/holds our money.
Thank you in anticipation
