We secured two further jurisdiction judgements in our favour against Club La Costa this week, with both claims issued under the contractual name CLC Sucursal. Each matter was heard in the Fuengirola Court, and each claim is valued at over £17,000.
These latest decisions uphold Spanish court jurisdiction for this type of contract where Law 4/2012 applies. In practical terms, the court confirmed it is the appropriate forum for these disputes, continuing a clear line of reasoning in similar CLC Sucursal jurisdiction cases.
In reaching the rulings, the judge referred to an established framework resolution that the Fuengirola Court has relied upon repeatedly. This consistent set of decisions is known as a “RESOLUCIÓN MARCO”. It provides a structured basis for assessing jurisdiction in comparable matters and continues to underpin many current rulings involving Club La Costa contracts issued under CLC Sucursal.
These outcomes add to a growing body of Fuengirola court decisions confirming jurisdiction in cases of this nature, reinforcing the approach taken in recent Club La Costa jurisdiction rulings in Spain. We will continue to report on further developments as additional hearings take place and more decisions are handed down.
Alongside these jurisdiction wins, we also secured a further substantive victory against Tasolán.
