A former Club Infiniti timeshare owner has successfully challenged their agreement in Spain, with a Spanish court declaring the timeshare contract null and void.
In its ruling, the Judge held that the contract was unlawful on two key grounds. First, it was signed in perpetuity, meaning it had no fixed end date. Secondly, the court found the paperwork did not provide the owner with a sufficiently clear description of the accommodation covered by the agreement, leaving the contractual entitlement unclear.
As a result, the court brought the timeshare to an end and ordered financial compensation. The claimant was awarded £14,716 plus interest, and a further £6,385. This additional sum represents double the amount paid at the point of signing, reflecting the court’s approach to certain payments taken when the contract was made.
For timeshare owners researching Spanish timeshare law, this decision is a reminder that Spanish courts may treat an open-ended (in-perpetuity) term and unclear accommodation details as serious defects that can lead to a contract being declared void, as well as an award that includes interest and, in some circumstances, a doubled signing payment.
Congratulations to our legal team at M1 Legal on another excellent result.
