We are pleased to share this week’s Spanish court victories. M1 Legal secured nine successful awards totalling £94,545.
Below is a summary of the key outcomes, including timeshare contracts declared null and void in Spain for failing to meet the relevant legal requirements.
First Instance Courts
- CLC World x 2 – In Fuengirola Courts No. 1 and 5 (Costa del Sol), the judge declared both contracts null for failing to meet the requirements of Law 04/2012, including a lack of information about the accommodation and the contract duration. Amounts awarded: £15,006 and £15,121.
- Diamond Resorts x 2 – In Fuengirola Court No. 1 (Costa del Sol), the judge found in M1 Legal’s favour in both cases because the contracts did not disclose the minimum accommodation information required under Law 04/2012. Amounts awarded: £10,063 and £11,457.
Appeals
- Anfi – In Court of Appeal No. 5 in Las Palmas (Gran Canaria), the Court confirmed the First Instance judgment: the contract remains declared null and void due to missing accommodation information under Law 42/1998. Amount awarded: £13,356.
- CLC World – In Court of Appeal No. 4 in Málaga (Costa del Sol), the Court confirmed the First Instance judgment: the contract remains declared null and void due to missing accommodation information under Law 04/2012. Amount awarded: £13,617.
