Will not return property

Genghiz Cohen · 2011-08-31 14:16:18

Mr. A borrowed an item from Mr.B A and B had a falling out. B wants the item back from A. A says he can have it in a month. The item is ~€1000 new and currently a year old and retailing second hand for about €800. Where does Mr.B stand legally? I've attempted to keep within the rules. Promise :D

Mr B should consult a solicitor.

If Mr. A was taken to court, would he be liable for legal fees from both sides?

Costs will depend on the ruling of the judge. There's no way to be sure.

Wait the month. If no result advise a solicitor will be retained at A's expense. Contact solicitor.

Without knowing the details of the loan agreement there is no knowing how a Judgment would go.

So if B said, take it and hold on to it for 6 months. Without signing anything.
Then asked for it back 2 months later, that might affect the judgement?

On an unrelated note, the prospect of legal action has caused a matter coincidentally similar to this hypothetical one above to be resolved, with no money spent.
How will Solicitor make money now?
