Hi,

Three years ago I won a court case against a bank to recoup mony  I put down as a deposit for an apartment which was nver completed as the developer went bust.

The bank appealed and won the case. I appealed the case and won but the solicitor now is demanding over 53% of the winnings as legal and "other costs". I had a contract with him that says I would pay him 20% of the winnings for legal fees which is OK but its the "other costs"  which are more substantive than the legal that I am contesting. There   was no mention of other costs by my solicitor before the trial  and I believe  they are excessive. Also I thought that the winning party in any spanish court case would always have the costs paid by the defendent.

Does anyone have any hepful comments on this matter>

Thank you
