even if a small % of the original payments were given to another party, it seems crazy that because of this costs of 10s thousands of costs dont need to be awarded.

I thought if you won any case, you would get costs paid because of the positive outcome, it just doesn't make sense!

it may be thats its just easier to take the costs from us instead of chasing the banks "again" for further payments owed.

Hi guys

I did win my deposit back after years of courtroom dramas.

As to the costs, I paid a small retainer which was great.

However after the event, I lost my claim for costs which I couldn't appeal. The upshot being I paid all awarded interest (12k euro) in costs.

I have seen since that most people do get the costs back from the banks.

It just goes to show even though all the cases are pretty much the same , the outcomes can be different.

Hi All

I now understand and accept the legal costs I have paid are correct by Spanish law (if a little high still) to gm legal.

This was only ever about understanding why I was paying what I was paying.

What concerns me is if I had not gone for a group action (as we I didn't accept the builders ridiculous 5 year offer), would I have recieved my costs, as they would have been no doubt about my claim.

Also if the high court does state that costs can be claimed back, can we go for our costs again. I would gladly pay 1/3

of my potential costs regained to gm legal to get back the other 2/3s.

Just for the record, Guadalupe has done great job for us and the solid response we I have seen on this subject suggests that this remains the case.

The main reason for my EOS post was due to my confusion and possible lack of response from the original contact from gm legal, not Guadalupe>

cheers
