CLUB LA COSTA
The story so far...
Following our ‘Club La Costa Appeals Overruled’ blog post published on 16th October, here is a Club La Costa appeal update on what has happened since.
After an initial decision that the matter did not fall under Spanish jurisdiction, our retained Spanish law firm M1 Legal appealed. The decision was overturned by the Malaga Court of Appeal. The defence argued that the case should not be heard in Spain, saying the contract fell under English law. The appeal judge ruled that the contractual party — Club La Costa (UK) Sucursal en España — is a Spanish entity and that the case should be heard in Spain. This Club La Costa spanish jurisdiction decision means all cases with the above contractual name are now being re-submitted to the court of first instance.
THE APPEAL SNOWBALL EFFECT
M1 Legal are pleased to confirm receipt of FOUR further Club La Costa jurisdiction victories on jurisdiction in cases involving the contractual party named above.
This is a strong result for the Club La Costa cases resubmitted to court by M1 Legal, and we expect the number to increase as more are fast-tracked through the lower courts.
