Update: ... I have since been to court 2 times regarding the money I gave to this person and at the last hearing his lawyer made a mistake and confirmed that all the money I claim to have paid was in fact paid, therefore, proving my case without us having to go through any more processes. I have another court date at the end of November 2010 at which, I have been informed, the Hakim will give his judgement which can only be favourable to me. What I would like to know is, I have been getting some conflicting reports regarding legal fees. I have been told that the FBB set a minimum legal cost to all law suits, which I believe is %25, and the Hakim will go by this figure when assessing my award. On the other hand, I have been told that the courts do not award legal fees. Could you please tell me which is true? It would be pretty silly to pursue a wrong and end up paying most of that award in legal fees.
