Re: Transfer to USA delayed five weeks - do I have a legal case?

Of course it's reasonable to assume that a person sending funds to his/her self abroad i.e. to convert to the currency of that country is assuming to spend the funds in that country? And presumably whilst on holiday?

You live and work in the states, why would the reasonably assume you were on holiday.

You come on here asking for opinions, utterly refuse to accept what anyone says even suggesting they are being "ridiculous", I'm afraid I too have gone as far as I can.

Sorry. I am determined to find a way here.

If you were resident in the UK you may have had some success by issuing court proceedings for a modest amount, and then at mediation stage, (bearing in mind the cost for Transwise to instruct solicitors for court work), negotiate a settlement.
How it works in the States I cannot comment.

Sorry about my brother, he is really upset about all this.

So...

I am wondering, if he takes them to Court in the UK and loses, can he then take them to Court in the USA too? Can he take them to Court in both countries at the same time?

This is now getting silly

To be honest i am unsure but the USA system of law is based on English Common law and our own Stare decisis

I am pretty sure travelwise will inform either jurisdiction that both Res judicata and Estoppel will apply

You are clutching at straws now for an angle when there is not one

And in any event the customer agreement means whether he sues in UK or USA or even both, the dispute is governed by English law:
The provision of the Service and any dispute or claim arising out of the provision of the Service is governed by English law.
Any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with the Service will be subject to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

What did I miss, what has the brother got to do with anything?

So...interesting PM...there are some special cases/exceptions when it comes to money transfers...hmmh...

[stevemLS]

Re: Transfer to USA delayed five weeks - do I have a legal case?

Hmmh, but were I to have dropped them an email stating the transfer was for my holiday funds, it would not have made a blind bit of difference. I think that if I prove what was affected after this cock-up, they can and must be held responsible.

I mean, the shows I could not attend, etc - these are tickets that went unused because of all this.

See post 1

I completely missed that and had been under the impression throughout that OP was talking about herself, posts like the one above bolstered that. D'oh!

Can you share this info?

[Daniella]

Re: Transfer to USA delayed five weeks - do I have a legal case?

Afraid not sorry.

Re: Transfer to USA delayed five weeks - do I have a legal case?

Well that's a pity.
It's by sharing knowledge and experiences that we are able to help each other.

I'm really sort I was sworn to secrecy

It's basically to do with treating money as a unit of exchange

[des8]

Re: Transfer to USA delayed five weeks - do I have a legal case?

Money is a unit of exchange......nothing new there
Also is a unit of account, a store of value, a standard of measure, and many other things
This sounds as if it's FMOTL advice.
Regardless of the medium he would be suing for breach or tort and remoteness (or proximate cause) would still be in the equation.
