Recorded verdict summary
A website that could not be used: Court orders €450 back from a €600 deposit
This decision was delivered in a fictional Legal Arena proceeding. It is not a real court judgment or legal advice.
A full judgment was not saved for this case. The original verdict summary is shown below.
You established a paid €600 deposit and a non-exploitable result, which supports repayment under the visible record. The other side’s partial-performance theory has some force, but it did not justify keeping the full advance without itemization, actual-cost proof, or a bounded valuation of the work retained. On this record, the court grants partial relief rather than a complete denial.
