Surveyor - your logic is questionable!

In the UK it is relatively easy to obtain a Court Order. The hard part is enforcing that Order. In Spain there is the additional factor of uncertainty that there will be any realistic progress, and invariably one has to engage a lawyer. In the UK one can conduct proceedings without the need for lawyers or barristers, and the process is user friendly. Here in Spain the absolute opposite is true. Surveyor - you must have unlimited cash resources, or an unrealistic optimism for you to maintain such determination to take on the Spanish system. I really suggest for all reasonable and practical circumstances you are just whistling in the wind. Realism or reality - you have a choice!.

So Surveyor, we are not really the moaners you claim we are. We are perhaps the realists who see Spain for what it really is - a country that has failed to move with the times, one that is not prepared to acknowledge rights and expectations that most of us in our own countries have tended to take for granted, and as a member of the EU, having taken as much as it can by way of funding, refuses to grant to those who have chosen to invest in their country normal legal rights.

I do love it when reality and perfection clash with each other. The game between Woodbug and Surveyor could go on forever, but I fear that Surveyor may be heading for defeat. I think this thread should be brought to a close with "here endeth the lesson"!!

Woodbug makes his case well. Underlying any society is the rule of law. Within Spain there is a culture amongst its legal profession that refuses to accept change. How much longer must we wait to see the concept of "black money" discarded by the legal profession? Until the legal profession are seen to be accepting necessary change in their behaviour and activity the future for Spain does not look good.

The same can be said of politicians. Rajor is looking weak in the aftermath of recent scandals involving the PP and the PSOE regularly look foolish in the naeve way in which they seek to put their opposition policies forward. Not much change can be seen in the near future.
