- Marriott - The judge dismissed MVCI Management’s lack of legal standing argument, treated the delivery of the general terms and conditions as irrelevant, and declared the contract null due to missing property and contract duration information. Amount awarded - £14,454.
- Diamond Resorts - The case history showed payment within the cooling-off period, and the contract did not meet minimum requirements for contract duration and property information; the judge therefore declared nullity in our favour. Amount awarded - £19,814.
