Guilty!

Did you know that in Finland - if you are taken to court - and you are deemed guilty...that you are not only expected to pay out your fees but the innocent parties as well? Any lawyer fees, court fees etc. can be claimed to be paid by YOU - as long as you're guilty.

Why do I know this?  I have a friend who is a lawyer and I was asking her questions in regards to a personal issue we have with someone returning funds to us (we'll leave it at that).
So typically there is a 70-80 Euros court fee for them to serve the documents to the other party/person and they have so long to present you a payment.  If that doesn't settle it - then boom - court time.

Our first Finniversary is coming up (cool term eh? I made it up)  So I'll be posting random facts that I can remember based on our experiences here.
