I'm in more or less the same situation as Markbhoy, though my case is, in a way, further forward. I used Plus Advisors and they did absolutely nothing to help me get my deposit back. Since then I used another (real) Spanish law firm to take my case to the Court of First Instance, where I lost against the particular bank in my case. I believe  - though I am still trying to obtain a copy of the sentence document - this was because the Fortuna apartments are classed as 'touristico' and not residential, which the banks use as an excuse not to issue bank guarantees under Law 57/1968.

Although I am encouraged by the news that the Supreme Court emphasises the protective nature of Ley 57/1968, the judge's decision in my case was apparently definitive. Does this mean I have no right of appeal, even in the Supreme Court? Your thoughts on whether I have a right of appeal would be greatly appreciated.
