Although the Spanish courts have been closed for more than a month, we can now share some welcome news: a number of favourable Spanish timeshare court victories have still been coming through. Behind the scenes, judges and court staff continue to work, and new cases are still being accepted — although everything is moving far more slowly than usual. At present, we understand the courts are working through the first tranche of cases left outstanding since lockdown.
We have four new substantive judgements to report. The first was against Diamond Resorts. In this Diamond Resorts timeshare court case, the contract was found to be missing key information, including which specific accommodation could be used and when. As a result, our client was awarded £16,090.
We also secured two favourable judgements against Club La Costa (contractual names: CLC Continental Resorts and CLC Paradise Trading). Both cases were heard in the Fuengirola court, and both clients were awarded their claims in full, including costs. In addition, one client was awarded interest on the loan used to purchase the timeshare. Together, these two cases totalled £38,286 in awards.
Our fourth victory was against Resort Sales & Marketing Sol SL, where the claimant was awarded in full, including costs, totalling £5,040.
In addition, we have been busy with jurisdiction cases and have been successful in 15 of them: one against MacDonald, one against Diamond, and the remainder against Club La Costa (contractual names: CLC UK PLC, CLC Surcursal and CLC Continental Resorts).
