How come it has ended up with you having to pay costs ?

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.

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)

She had to pay the bank too?

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

What was the order made on 10th February?

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

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!

Re: WON !! Richard Durkin v HFC / PC World supreme court judgment 26/03/14

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.

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

Can you explain the order a little bit PT as I've confused myself with it.

David Jones @ PI costing is a good costs draftsman in my opinion.

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

Re: WON !! Richard Durkin v HFC / PC World supreme court judgment 26/03/14

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 ?

Re: WON !! Richard Durkin v HFC / PC World supreme court judgment 26/03/14

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 ?

Re: WON !! Richard Durkin v HFC / PC World supreme court judgment 26/03/14

Do you have any idea how much that will be ??

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

Re: WON !! Richard Durkin v HFC / PC World supreme court judgment 26/03/14

Hi Folks,

More bad news I'm afraid as the injustice deepens.

Supreme Court has decided to confirm that we must pay a massive chunk of expenses back to the perpetrators despite ruling that they did indeed screw us!

Sick.

We, the victims, will be doing extremely well to avoid bankruptcy, let alone trying to buy a family home.

Cheers,

Rico.
