We are pleased to share last week’s Spanish timeshare court victories.
Our legal team secured seven substantive results, with total awards of £106,742. Four of the seven cases were against Club La Costa, under the contractual names Sucursal and Paradise Trading.
In the four Club La Costa cases, the contracts were declared null due to a lack of essential information, including details about the accommodation, when it could be used, and the duration of the agreement. Awards were £19,100, £10,431, £17,356 and £17,434.
We also obtained a favourable judgment against Silverpoint, where the timeshare contract was declared null for similar reasons: insufficient information on the property, usage details and the contract term. We were awarded costs, and £14,100 was awarded.
In the case against Onagroup, the judgment was favourable for our client. However, two further contracts under the company names Club Estrella Dorada and Clubhotel La Dorada were not successful on this occasion. M1 Legal will appeal this part of the decision. £18,590 was awarded.
Our final substantive judgment from last week was against Albatroz Ventas & Ecomar Continental, with an award of £9,720.
In addition, there were 24 positive jurisdiction decisions valued at £466,909. Of these, 11 jurisdiction victories were recorded last week: 10 involving Club La Costa and one involving Diamond Resorts. The defence argued the cases should not be heard in Spain; however, the judge ruled that they can. A further 13 cases were appeals following the previous jurisdiction hearing, and we were successful again.
All jurisdiction cases will now proceed in due course.
