Can anyone tell me if there is any truth that the judicuary and the courts are at loggerheads over job losses, our solicitor has said this is the reason are being held up regarding the auction of the propery we have won the rights to auction.

Hi Sandra
was an evaluator appionted by the court to evaluate the propery and the put it up for auction .We have the name of the one , but are still waiting for him to ask for a fee, our solicitor has said he has no power to rush the court, we have been at this since 2005 and know how you feel, you cannot rush these these the word they use as you know is manyana, my wife and i are both retired and put most of our life savings into it ,have you got to the stage that we have,spanish solicitors are not for rushing .I don't think changing would be good it would mean starting all over again.Hope things get better for you.
all the best regards

Hello Folks,
My story is one of frustration with Spanish Law. In 2003 we paid a third of the cost of a property as deposit. This was to be completed in 2005. There have been numerous problems with the developers. In 2008 we wrote to our solicitors asking if we could claim compensation due to the absence of the LFO. He replied no, but added that if they did obtain it and we then cancelled, we ourselves would be in breach of contract, so we cancelled. We were told by our solicitors how much it would cost to take them to court , so we then agreed to fight for our money back. We then recieved a email asking if we would settle with the developers and not claim additional cost. We agreed. The next thing was our solicitors emailed telling us that the Judge would not allow this ugh! We then received another email telling us that we had won the case and they were going to go back to court to ask the Judge to allow them to apply to seize property to the value of our deposits plus costs. The next email was to tell us that the developers had appealed and was going to the High Court. We were then informed we had 10 days to appeal,and how much this would cost . Wehad to then pay additional costs for representation in Court . We were hoping to retire in Spain and spend the rest of our time together, sadly we are both retired and nearing our seventies and still waiting for some sort of fairplay. Its not fair that having spent our life savings, and more. We find that through no fault of our own we are being penalized, and its painful.
