Yes, of course. When its clearly used to avoid payment due though, I feel it makes a bit of a mockery of the law.

How much simpler would it be if interest was just added from when the deposit was first placed in to the bank account with no bank appeals allowed?

Indeed. It looks like lawyers have to fight every individual case on its own merits with regards to interest and then also have to depend on a judge making the right decision so that interest is paid from the date of the deposit. Until that doctrine is declared then those with deposits put down 10 -12, 15 years ago or more will present their lawyers with quite a battle for interest i would think and still have to depend on a fair judge. I hope lawyers can put pressure on the s.c to make the law clearer on this matter and speed up justice.

Good morning Ads/Maria

Why has there not been a formal declaration of doctrine?, is it expected soon?  It's seems obvious that until so, the banks can take advantage of that fact at every oppotunity. It still sounds like justice could still be a lottery depending on some court's view, which I fear could be open to abuse with the amount of money involved?

Maria has recently taken on my case and I have every confidence that if anyone can win it for us, it will be her company. What I don't have have so much confidence in is actually getting our money back if the banks try and pull all the tricks that ADS has shown concern about in her very thorough and frank posts. I am confident we will win one day, because we have been in the right, and honest from day one and I have to believe that justice will prevail.....one day?
