0:27
Welcome. Thank you very much. Nice, see you. Buenos Aires, Moody. No, it is the thing
0:31
I nearly caught up with you at the weekend because you went to the football. Yes, that's right. Which is Ecculles
0:36
You're a fan as well. Yes, that's right. We've spoken to Pedro the last couple of times
0:41
you know, for your sessions here. And yes, he invited me along. Couldn't make it on Sunday
0:45
but you shared a two-gold thriller. Yeah. Terrell against Hercules. We had a good time
0:52
We have a good, easy pity, because they play very well. Better look next time
0:56
and hopefully I'll make it along. We'll try to make it. So you've been busy, I guess in the last few times, not been able to make it in, court and all that
1:03
Yes, I would think. You know, it's difficult. What sort of things are you dealing with at the moment? A bit of everything
1:07
Yeah, a bit of everything, yeah. Because sometimes the problem is on Wednesday if I have another hearing or another appointment you know I couldn make it But the good thing is Pedro and Antonio are here sometimes on Wednesdays as well
1:20
So that makes it easier, doesn't it? Are you saying a court case from one of your clients is more important than coming on the radio
1:27
Well, let's call it, it a big commitment. Yeah, sure. But, yeah, we have a court
1:35
Actually, I'm having one on Thursday about claiming money against. a bank, coming against Savagell, actually
1:43
Okay. And yeah, it's a long story. It's a long story. It's an inheritance and money, cancellation of bank accounts without the client
1:51
agreeing, but they just could cancel your bank account. And the client couldn't find where the money was
1:58
And, you know, it's like knocking on the door and nobody there, and nobody will tell you
2:02
how to get their money back, basically. Wow. I mean, at the end of the day, you know, this lady was from 2000
2:09
if I believe 2018. They cancelled the contract, which is fine because it's a contract
2:17
has got to be worth for two parties, but they should have done, okay
2:21
cancel the contract, here is your money, come and collect it or tell me where to transfer, as simple as that But the story was that they made the guy ill very you know with heart problems and he was very ill And that the next one we having on Thursday in Alicantecourt But I think it will be cancelled because of the strike
2:38
Ah. There is a strike on secretaries, of course. I don't know if you heard. And the whole courts now, or pretty much most of them, are on strike
2:48
Oh. So they are canceling every day. I think they say 50,000
2:54
hearings a day. Wow. Wasn't there a backclog anyway? So it's going to be even worse
3:01
Even worse. Wow. So COVID didn't help neither. No, of course. And now it seems they've got an appointment now on Friday to have to try to reach another
3:10
negotiation or something. Because last time I heard that was last week, they stay very late at night and they
3:18
just walk away. Yeah. So I really don't know. It's just up to them, you know
3:24
the secretaries wants to get paid more. I don't know much about it
3:29
but they want to just get a salary similar or equal than the judge
3:34
And... I mean, it's kind of happening everywhere. It's because of the cost of living
3:39
In inflation you trying to wages trying to keep up with you know the increase in prices and everyone wants it but sometimes the money isn there especially in the public sector yeah they do a lot of work i agree secretaries are overwhelmed courts are overwhelmed and i think the government should budget more
3:54
money for justice to be honest because it's our lives isn't it is you know you have a problem
4:01
you want quick solution don't you yes you probably come to expect that it takes a few years
4:07
some of these cases to come around and finally get to to court And if we're talking about inheritance and splitting the inheritance, Modi, he will take forever, you know
4:19
Especially if you need to notify more people abroad or not contested wills, no parties, you know, that you make a will and nobody knows where he is
4:33
Yeah. And there are more partners of the will. There are more beneficiaries
4:38
And you need to start finding and look. for them. Otherwise, you cannot sell
4:43
So, inheritance is a big thing as well. But anyway, it's court. Court issues
4:47
Yeah, sure. It's just an example of the sort of thing if you do. It's a variety of stuff
4:51
A variety. I'm busy. But especially dealing with, you're still dealing with some residency
4:55
and visas and the like, big part of what you do. Did you see about..
