Sue, Shaun: I have spoken to a couple of lawyers over the past few days. It depends how people want to approach this problem. Do they want to hang on and take legal possession of the property (eventuallly) or do they want to sue Aifos for their deposits and stage payments, to be returned? I discovered that Aifos may apply for the habitacion certificates piecemeal ie for the buildings that have been completed at the moment they may get licences of first occupation from the townhall. I don't particularly want to live in an apartment which will have a spectacular view of the buildings which are under dispute at the moment and which may drag on for years. The alternative is to sue for return of monies. The advantage of that, and if it were threatened en-masse by many purchasers, is that Aifos would have those funds frozen until the dispute had been settled. Aifos doesn't want to go to court because it is yet to win a case and so perhaps there is some leverage there. The other advantage of litigation is that any litigator will be at the front of the queue in the event that the company goes belly up. However, according to the gentlemen that I spoke with that seems unlikely as they have other sources of income and are land rich also.
