Crowdfunding the McCann's Litigation.

[Alice Purjorick]

What about the court costs for the earlier hearings - would they have been paid up front as well?
Will some need to be reimbursed now that Amaral has won?

The court will recover all their costs from the McCanns as the McCanns lost all up. Any court costs paid by Sr Amaral up to now will be reinbursed to him. He didn't bring the case and he won so must be held harmless.

So not really something sorted out in five minutes , figuratively speaking.

I doubt; we are talking about courts here....

We don't do 5 minutes in Portugal.

That is why a sardine munching session here is typically 2 to 3 hours.

So the post saying costs had already been paid ( post 129) is probably bollocks.

Agreement  twice in the one week. That must be a bit of a record 

No, a record is a black disc with a hole in the middle.

Just indistinctly worded I think [he said in a charitable tone of voice].

and we have no idea what those costs are

It doesn't really matter.
The principle has been decided the quantum will be what it is under the rules obtaining.
The plaintiffs lost the case and will pay whatever the quantum is in a manner acceptable to the courts. If there is any default the court pursue it through its officers.
Ever since the judge of the first instance booted out more than 50 % of the claim it was always difficult to present it as a significant victory for the plaintiffs, though many tried. It is impossible now.
Sr Amaral will have his sequestered funds returned by the trustees managing them.
You need to be able to differentiate between what funds are rightfully his and the pound[Euro] in his pocket.

I remember that phase well.  Arguing black was white they were - all to no avail.

And that is what I am laughing at not the McCann's plight.................

AFAIK, the defendants and plaintiffs pay their court costs as they go along, not just at the end of the case. For example, when an appeal is filed, the person appealing must pay the respective court fees at that time.

I believe this to be true.
