Double win against Silverpoint: unlawful timeshare contracts and £32,928 awarded in Arona court

Our legal team has secured two court wins against Silverpoint Vacations over the past week.

Silverpoint is a timeshare group with resorts in the Canary Islands, Spain. This week we represented two sets of clients in proceedings against the group, with both cases heard at the court in Arona, Tenerife. In each case, the Silverpoint timeshare contract was found to be unlawful. The judge identified that the contracts did not clearly set out key accommodation details, including what the clients owned and when they were entitled to use their unit.

We are pleased to confirm that, in both cases, our clients were awarded compensation by the judge, totalling £32,928. Our clients are, understandably, relieved to be free from their timeshare commitments.

Alongside these Silverpoint results, we also achieved further outcomes in court this week, winning seven jurisdiction cases—all against Club La Costa.

The contractual names were:

• Club La Costa Sucursal
• Club La Costa Paradise Trading

In these jurisdiction matters, Club La Costa argued that the claims should not be heard in the Spanish courts under the terms of their contracts. However, the judge accepted our reasoning that the cases should be determined under Spanish law. As our clients are based in the United Kingdom, they have a choice over where to bring their claim. The court therefore rejected Club La Costa’s request and allowed the legal processes to continue in Spain.

Club La Costa has several resorts on the Costa del Sol, mainland Spain, and in Tenerife, Canary Islands. A range of courts heard the appeals, including Fuengirola 5, Fuengirola 3 and Fuengirola 2 (mainland Spain), and Arona 5 (Tenerife).

Overall, it has been a strong week for the M1 Legal team. We hope to share more updates on our victories page next week.
