The Court of First Instance in Fuengirola heard a claim against Diamond Resorts Europe Limited.
The case was significant because M1 Legal first succeeded on a key point: jurisdiction. The court accepted that the claim could proceed against the Spanish branch of the British company, Diamond Resorts Europe Ltd Sucursal en España.
The judge then declared all four timeshare contracts null and void, including the first two agreements (from 2004 and 2011) that were later replaced following the final upgrade. Those earlier contracts were originally signed with two different companies that were subsequently absorbed by Diamond Resorts Europe Ltd, and the claim was brought against the Spanish branch.
Overall, this was a challenging set of circumstances, and the outcome reflected a strong team effort by M1 Legal.
The claim was pursued on the basis that the contracts did not meet the legal minimum content requirements for timeshare agreements.
The court awarded £49,729, plus interest and legal costs.
A superb result for M1 Legal, and congratulations to their client.
