 Hello all,

I am asking the question out of sheer frustration, it is 9 weeks since my case was heard, I'm not going into detail beacuse that is not what this post is about.

But what on earth takes 9 weeks to sort out?  does the Judge take a long time to deliberate?  does the Judge make a decsion almost immediately and it is the administration of the court that takes the time? is it that I am English and so put to the bottom of the pile to be seen to when there's a spare minute?  Which?????

I do not have any experiences of the english court system, but surely it should not take 9 weeks and counting?  and the most frustrating thing of all is that there does not appear to be an end date so I could be in exactly the same position in another 9 weeks.

Frustrated

Kelju

 I am in no way an expert and can sympathise, and indeed empathise with you

The Spanish legal system is in even more of a mess than the British one

The speed at which your case is processed seems to depend on who you are and what the case is about

 

It can take years to get an award made against a property developer, even though it's clear that they have defrauded and stolen from many people.  Indeed, the judge can sometimes find in your favour (after the Developer appealing many times to delay the outcome, meanwhile he is hiding his assets overseas, despite you requesting that his assets are frozen)

The judge can then tell you that although you have won and also been awarded costs etc., it is unlikely that the guilty party will pay up....this has happened to about 10 couples that we know

 

On the other hand, if the Junta decide to demolish a property owned by a non Spaniard, this can happen very quickly indeed and often the homeowners are not even properly notified or given a reasonable amount of time to appeal the case.

Instead of Sarkozy & Co. being so cross with the UK, perhaps they'd like to examine the way Spain conducts itself.
