well done zipifred, worth the wait, hope thay dont mess you around with the payments.

They are doing just that Ballaman today. You can't win even when you win it seems, a judge completely judged every detail in my favor and still they complain.
|
By:
They will hold out till the very last minute with payment zip, The judge will give them a deadline so fully expect it to be giving on the 11th hour.

By:
All sorted Barca, will be getting a court order of all details of case and full Judges summary very soon. There was a few details i did not mention on this thread also.

How much of the 20k will you get? 28%?
|
By:
€20k is nice. I'd keep going to that supermarket.

Yes Tradefair these lawyers always find a way to reduce it , i ould have gone to a higher court and won but that meant going another year so a redution yes to avoid that so 25% taxed burst my bubble somewhat.
|
By:
The award is taxed ????????
|
By:
Taxed would be my terminology for it but technically no but there won't be any lengthly appeals. A common occurence in such cases and something i was aware of before case.
|
By:
25% sounds fair considering you only had to wait 2 years. Spend it wisely, you put enough work into it.
|
By:
Thanks TF , 2 and half years, they tried 50% but not a hope. It is already gone as soon as it goes mind ,to finance the mothers case for unfair dismissal and failure to pay her pension by a certain hospital in the North.
|
By:
Well that's good. Others will disagree but it was never about the money.
|
By:
Exactly TF, something none of us should take for granted.
|
By:
Sorry zipi, whats the deduction for?
In my innocence i would have presumed that if you are awarded €20k plus costs then thats what you get. |
By:
The award should not be taxed unless you did some sort of a split with the solicitor as part payment...........the solicitor will get the full settlenent figure cheque which will include your award and the legal teams bill..........don't let the legal boys shaft you.
|
By:
My thoughts too Ballaman but these people don't care about any of that and they can hit you with a lengthly appeal which unless you have bottomless pits of money and time then you are powerless to stop it unless you come to a settlement. It is the way it works, you can't win even when you do. I don't know if you watched the recent Defamation cases on a program on the BBC recently, they have to pay tens of thousands for cases just to win back thier costs if they are lucky. The laws aid the wealthy right through the system, there is no way out of it.

By:
congrats zipi.
great news |
By:
sorry who gets the other 72% of the 20k?
|
By:
Thanks Badger, you read wrong mightymoyes ... 25% was stolen by the defendents so as not to go through a lengthly appeal process that they would have lost also but they don't care as they would get paid anyway.

I hope you played it all up on Famous Name tonight.
