Our associates at M1 Legal have recently shared updated grounds for pursuing timeshare compensation claims against Intercorp Hotel Group companies, including Ses Fontanellas Plaza Limited (an offshore Isle of Man company) and Seloynab SL.
Ses Fontanellas Plaza Limited uses the same administration as Seloynab SL for issuing client contracts and collecting maintenance fees. This connection may make it possible to bring a claim in the Spanish courts against the Isle of Man company under Spanish jurisdiction.
In January 2015, the Spanish Supreme Court ruled that contracts signed after 5 January 1999 cannot be in perpetuity or for a term longer than 50 years. Contracts must also meet specific legal requirements, including clearly stating the apartment/unit/week owned and the dates of use—meaning many “points” or “floating weeks” arrangements may be unlawful.
Lawyers at M1 Legal have reviewed case documents relating to Ses Fontanellas Plaza Limited and identified a number of contractual issues that may not comply with Spanish timeshare legislation. Following this review, M1 Legal confirmed they have a positive enforcement strategy in place.
This could create new opportunities for Ses Fontanellas and other Intercorp Hotel Group owners to pursue a timeshare compensation claim through the Spanish courts.
M1 Legal have submitted 1,472 cases valued at £33.7 million to the Spanish courts in relation to illegal timeshare contracts, and have won over 550 awards valued at £9.2 million for clients they have represented.
