Win the case and lose the place. Sounds about right.
I wanted to reread it before commenting but it doesn't want to load right now. This is over a lawyer bill right ?
Property lines are pretty well defined right ? Three inches, but I guess they tore up the fence or whatever also from what I remember. This should've been an open and shut case. Cut three inches off the driveway and mend the fence or pay up. Seems pretty simple right ? WRONG.
My opinion ? Their laws are just as fucked up as ours. This should've been in a small claims court. But then I don't know how that works over there. I do know that here if the damages sought are higher than the limit of the small claims court, some people will save the expense of a regular court if the difference isn't that much. It almost seems logical to take the limit, down to the point where is it about half of what you could get in a regular court. Any more than that, you have to give it some serious thought.
Even so, no judgement is self collectiong. What I don't see is how there wasn't some way to file for bankruptcy, or whatever they call it there. Most likely the lawyer, or other creditor is forced to take payments. I have heard I think that they don't have full discharge bankruptcy there. In fact here they are hard as hell to get. But I do think they have reorganization, I think it's called recievership and is similar to a chapter 11 or 13 here. Something like that.
I also think someone bent the court a bit. It happens here all the time. I have no reason to think it is different there. Even so, I suspect there was stupidity involved, if not some form of corruption. But then in Utah someone lost a house aver a $43 dentist bill. There had to be alot of stupidity involved there.
And then there could be other things. Three inches of land and a fence ? How much was the original lawsuit for in the first place, millions ? Did someone try to gouge that neighbor with the driveway, using the court system ? That'e quite possible and if so, it backfired on them.
