BIL has a second court date (final hearing) for sale of the home. The ex partner had an excuse (a reasonable one tbh) to cancel the first court case but of course only at the last minute, incurring court costs for BIL.
She has stated she intends to do this for as long as she can and will probably provide a medical cert for the second court date in March, also at the last minute.
BIL is not going to rebook as he will let the house go for repossession as the mortgage is up for renewal in April. (Basically to hell with it all!)
Can he take her to a SCC to recover his costs of the second court booking (inc barristers fees) as there will be no further court involvement where he can ask for costs.
It should be a straightforward award of 50/50 of the equity in the house according to his solicitor.
