Studying for an accounting quiz. Did you take accounting before and do you have a theory on why it's such an incredibly unattractive thing to learn
Because it's like following someone around all day and writing down everything they do. In financial terms.

If that doesn't sound boring...

What's your case about (no need to give specific details)?
I rented my place out and moved my things to the cellar. The tenant then ignored letters from a construction company, which lead to destruction of my property. Initially the tenant took responsibility (i have recorded our oral agreement) but now he moved out and is refusing to pay up.

And I want me moooney

I see. I hope you get your money back. I could totally see something like that happening to me if I were the tenant though :D.

Me too. Which is why I wrote off 60% and just asked for money so i could get new essentials.

How does Belgian law go about when someone is renegging a oral agreement (you can hear us shaking hands on the tape)?

In most cases the problem would be proving that a verbal agreement ever existed. Then there's the fact that Belgian law sometimes requires specific proof. For agreements involving a certain amount of money, this proof can only be given through written documents for example. In reality judges often allow all sorts of proof though, but I must say I wonder what they'do in your case.

If you can prove there was an agreement and the party failed to carry out his part of the deal, you can either ask the court to force him to do so or, when this possibility no longer exists, ask for damages.

If someone says stuff like this, you need to run, because you know you'll have to sue him sooner or later.
I did, instantly 😃. Anyways, all very exciting. There's a good chance that the actual lawsuit is going to be without lawyers as the money involved isnt too big. Time to act out my Boston Legal daydreaming.

We have special courts for stuff like this in Belgium. People often represent themselves before those. I've seen some of them do a great job even.

If it's something similar in Denmark, ask for pointers from lawyers you know. Just practical stuff so you know what to expect. Also, most judges are sympathetic to people when they are there in person. Just speak up your mind, provide proof and he'll help you through it.
