    [If a claimant will be going to court, and has been challenged by the defendant in their defence,

    and the worse case scenario the claimant loses the case, he will be liable to pay for the defendants costs too (admin costs, solicitor costs, additional witness costs etc)

    But if the doesn't work, or has no assets (no savings), no property, then what is likely to happen?

    The claimant has No property, but if their 1 remaining parent (who is 1 remaining widow) has a house in their name, (as their spouse passed away)
    but on the deceased parents Will, this claimant is named as an executor,

    Now, if the amount of money to be recouped by the defendant (from the claimant) is large

    Then does this legally mean that the defendant (after the defendant wins the case) can take this house (as the claimant has no assets),
    then can the defendant claim to take the house to recoup their costs?

    Or the claimant is shielded form the defendant to take that property?

    (ie,is the house safe?)

    Note- they are listed as one executor of that will of their deceased parent, whose widow lives in that property alone.


    (Can we not get into the detail of the claim please, it is touching, and please advise on the 'taking away' of the property - from a legal point of view, is the house safe? Or it can be taken?
    -This is quite a touching emotional situation :( and question so thank you for your assistance )

    Thank you all.


    The house is safe

    probably circa £8k but plenty more simply decline to quote if they dont like the risk rather than charging very high premiums
  • About £9k for a fictitious Sierra Cosworth when I was 18 (back in 1992), car valued at £4k IIRC

    i remember my 1st car ( Ford Fiesta 1.4 supersport ) cost me £280 for the car and was quoted around 3k to insure it i got it down to a grand and paid in installments that was back in 1995 that was 3rd party F&T as well

    now i pay £146 12month FC on what i drive

  • My personal record is £78,000,059.21. Yep, seventy-eight million and fifty-nine pounds, twenty one pence. Must have been a glitch (they didn't want my business, but instead of refusing to quote it just put in a ridiculously high number). The best part was the offer of 11 low monthly payments of £7,277,939.68 (with a deposit of just £11,700,012.60)

    I've got a screenshot, will put it up later when I can get it uploaded...
