Spanish court decision opens floodgates for RCI members’ compensation claims in Spain
Our Associates at M1 Legal have announced a ground-breaking win against RCI involving a Pure Points contract sold by Sunset Beach Club and Crown Resorts Isle of Man.
This case was particularly significant because this type of legal challenge had not previously been tested. We are pleased that it succeeded, with Málaga Court No. 9 ruling the timeshare contract null and void. The decision is an important precedent for RCI contracts — even where no Spanish companies are involved.
In a statement, the lawyer who represented the case at M1 Legal, Adrian Peña Botella, said:
The judge ordered RCI to compensate the clients £9,977.
This ruling could open the door for other RCI members to explore a compensation claim in Spain and, where applicable, seek a lump-sum award.
