This is the court postponing not fortunejack, it’s the 3rd time they postpone, been since last may. Although fortunejack did indeed delayed it the maximum possible way they could. The case is already closed and only judgment is to be waited for.
Well, everything depends on the country's laws... here in Serbia lawsuits can last for years, some of them +10 years. Hearings are postponed due to various things, the same is true with the final judgments. And that's not the end... Both parties can appeal any decision made by the court, and those appeals go to a higher court. That higher court can send everything back for a retrial, it can make its ruling... this can really go on for years.
I wrote a long time ago that I am interested to see what will happen with this case... I don't want to repeat it every time. One of the reasons people aren't interested in posting here is the lack of evidence... we don't have much other than what you say. Take a picture of some documents and share it with us, you can black out all the sensitive parts.
How much times they can prolong like this and what is the final deadline?
When someone is showing this behavior that usually means they are guilty and they are hoping other party would just get tired and drop the charges.
Prolonging can be very expensive, so the ones with money have a huge advantage. Lawyers can be very expensive, they can charge by the hour, coming to court costs extra, and various expertise can be done, which can be expensive as well. I have a situation with some property, I am in +3 years since all that started... As I see it now, lawyers are earning a lot, and for them, it's better to last as long as it can.
I don't know if this is the right place, but I will share a joke with everyone: "After graduating from law school, the son starts working for his father in his law office, and after a few months, the son comes to his father and tells him that he has solved some cases that last +10 years. Father says to him "Are you insane? From those cases, I built a house, bought an apartment, paid your school fees, everything"...
