    Probably looking at an eye-watering £100K+! to pay the criminals.

      Blimey. Have you got decent lawyers working on the costs arguments ?

      How come it has ended up with you having to pay costs ? Were there offers before the hearing ?

        hmmm hang on .....


        ''3) The appellant pay the second respondent’s expenses in the Inner House'' - so thats what you have to pay to HFC ?

        ''4) The second respondent pay the appellant’s costs in the Supreme Court, the amount of those costs to be assessed if not agreed between the parties'' - that's what HFC have to pay you ?

        Plus 8% pa on the damages award from 1999 .....

        Appellant

        Richard Durkin


        Respondents

        DSG Retail Ltd
        HFC Bank Plc


        So what were the previous orders mentioned in 1 & 2 ?

          Sharon & I are just reading that through, I think it may be the other way round Richard.

          I would have your solicitors/counsel look that over & verify

                Aye, that's the insane part.

                I've also to pay some of the lower court expenses which the sheriff awarded against me while the key witness (to prove lies!) waited for a passport.

                    Maybe he'd tried getting his passport through BritishPassportServices....

                    Are those expenses already fixed ? How much were those?

                      Not fixed yet. We've had to wait until now. I've heard it's another £10K + down the swanny!

                        Puts you off standing up for yourself and seeking justice somewhat doesn't it.

                        Costs in Roberts v Bos were bonkers too, not quite £100k bonkers - about £35k as I recall - even though she won as well


                        EDIT: just checked was £20k see attached ( mights as well been £100k though)

                          Similar. It had failed to differentiate between HFC & PC World costs. Totally ignoring the fact that it's them that screwed us!

                            She had to pay the bank too?

                            Aye, I can see now why folk fight crime with crime.

                              That's the £100K question! Surely, we've a right to know?

                              I smell corruption. A unanimous ruling saying a default doesn't stop folk getting a mortgage? And then, after a year, this?

                              My offer to them was not to sue if they removed the default. Considering they'd already been screwing us for 4 years, I thought that to be more than reasonable.

                                Thanks PT. We're screwed anyway. The "supreme" court has ensured that. It seems I'll need to apply for legal aid just to sort expenses!
