We are pleased to share last week’s Spanish timeshare court victories.
Over the week, our legal team secured 10 substantive results, with total awards of £214,552. Below is a summary of the outcomes and the grounds on which the contracts were declared null.
Diamond Resorts: our first result of the week was against Diamond Resorts. The court declared the contract null due to a lack of clear information about the accommodation, when it could be used, and the contract term. £82,881 awarded.
Anfi Sales & Resorts (4 cases): we achieved four favourable results against Anfi Sales & Resorts. In the first three cases, the contracts were declared null because they did not properly set out the accommodation details, usage period and contract duration. £45,757 awarded across these three cases.
In the fourth Anfi Sales & Resorts matter, the Gran Canaria Court of Appeal refused Anfi’s appeal and confirmed the first-instance judgment in our client’s favour. The appeal was intended only to delay the procedure. £8,157 awarded.
Silverpoint (2 cases): we also secured two results against Silverpoint. In both cases, the contracts were declared null on the same grounds: insufficient information about the accommodation, when it could be used, and the contract term. Both clients have been included on the list of creditors before the Mercantile Court in Silverpoint’s liquidation. £23,799 awarded in total.
CLC Sucursal (3 cases): there were three results against CLC Sucursal. In the first case, the contract was declared null due to missing key information about the accommodation, permitted usage and the term. £11,949 awarded.
In the second case, the judge declared nullity of the contract as well as its accessories. £11,769 awarded.
In the third CLC case, the contract was declared null on the usual grounds (lack of accommodation details, when it could be used, and the contract period). M1 Legal has also requested a rectification of the judgment due to a possible miscalculation. The client should be entitled to £40,845. £30,237 awarded.
Jurisdiction results: 5 positive jurisdiction decisions were achieved, valued at £114,656.
Last week we secured 1 jurisdiction victory against CLC and 4 appeal victories. All cases will now proceed to the next step.
