We are pleased to share last week’s Spanish court victories. M1 Legal secured eight positive awards totalling £125,047. The highest individual award was a CLC Paradise Trading result worth £34,718.
Below is a breakdown of the substantive results:
First Instance Courts
- CLC Sucursal (x2) – In both Fuengirola cases, the judge declared the contracts null under the requirements of law 04/2012 due to a lack of information about the accommodation and the contract duration. Amounts awarded: £10,584 and £12,739.
- CLC Paradise Trading – In Arona (Court No. 2), the judge declared the contract null under law 04/2012 due to a lack of information about the accommodation and the contract duration. Amount awarded: £34,718.
- Restotel (Onagrup) – In Dénia (Court No. 4), the judge declared the contract null under law 04/2012 due to a lack of information regarding the contract duration. Amount awarded: £28,932.
It was also confirmed that in Marbella we received three positive judgments against Marriott.
Appeals
CLC Sucursal – In Malaga Court of Appeal No. 4, the first-instance judgment was upheld following CLC’s appeal. Amount awarded: £15,122.
Jurisdiction Decisions
Four positive results valued at £49,024
In all four cases, the defence (Diamond Resorts) argued the claims should not be heard under Spanish jurisdiction. The judge ruled in our favour in each case, confirming the Spanish courts are competent to proceed.
All four cases will now move on to the next stage.
