Myself and 10 neighbors were scammed by a contractor who was to install hurricane shutters on our homes in the recent hurricane. In addition to reporting him to the Florida Attorney General, we would like to take him to small claims court to recover our money given him. We were told that the cost to file a claim is $175 and we are out $250. Assuming that we would win, would the contractor be obligated to pay the court costs plus the cost to file, in addition to the $250. If not, it is hardly worth the effort filing. -- Have a great day, except you spammers To email, remove the obvious .......

Wow, it's only 80 bucks here and the limit is 15,000 - 25,000. Are you even able to find the guy?

Les, Yes, the following is from the Dade County Court clerk web-site. If a Final Judgment is entered in your favor as a result of your lawsuit, these costs may be added to the total amount of your judgment. Good luck, Dave M.

But you still have to recover the money from the defendant.

Those words should be written in stone above the door to every courthouse in America. I am not a lawyer. I do not even see email sent to this address, due to past DOS attacks. If you wish to respond, do so through this newsgroup.
