We are pleased to share last week’s Spanish court victories against timeshare companies.
Our legal team secured seven successful outcomes in substantive cases, with total awards of £109,544.
In three Club La Costa cases, the Spanish court declared the contracts null due to missing key information, including details of the property, when the accommodation could be used and the contract duration. Where the CLC company is in liquidation, the case will be referred to the insolvency practitioner. £52,576 awarded in total.
In a further Club La Costa case, the appeal brought by Club La Costa was dismissed by the Court of Appeal in Tenerife. The first-instance judgment in our favour was upheld and Club La Costa was ordered to pay costs. £28,757 awarded.
In the final Club La Costa + Reymonte case, Adriana submitted a claim against CLC Sucursal and the property owner, Reymonte SL. Reymonte SL was acquitted, and CLC Sucursal was ordered to reimburse the contract amount because the contract was declared null. This matter has already been lodged for consideration within the liquidation process. £16,940 awarded.
In the Fairways case from last week’s report, Sofia succeeded by lifting the corporate veil on Fairways Club. This sets a valuable precedent that may allow claims against subsidiaries based in tax havens by demonstrating their connection to the company that actually requests the maintenance fees (Fairways Amarilla). They state they are separate companies and not party to the contract—an approach M1 Legal has been pursuing for years. This time, the court agreed.
We also received two positive judgments involving Anfipan (Airtours) and Anfi, with £11,269 awarded in total.
