Triple win against Anfi in San Bartolomé: £27,795.51 awarded and contracts null in Spain

Last week we had several timeshare cases heard in court.

We secured three wins against Anfi Sales SL & Anfi Resorts SL, all heard at the San Bartolomé de Tirajana Court nº 5 in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria. Across these cases, a total of £27,795.51 was awarded to our clients. In each judgment, the Judge found in our favour on the same key grounds:

• The contracts exceeded the time limit permitted by law.
• The contracts did not properly specify the accommodation—such as what could be used, where it was located, and when it would be available for use.

We also won a case against Silverpoint Vacations, heard at Arona Court nº 2 in Tenerife, with £26,626.32 awarded to our clients. Our case against Club La Costa was heard at Fuengirola Court nº 3, where our clients were awarded £5,587.76. However, we disagree with that outcome and will be appealing the decision, as we believe our clients are entitled to more. In both matters, the contracts were found to be missing or containing incorrect details similar to those identified in the Anfi Resorts cases.

Over the past week, we have also been successful in three jurisdiction hearings involving Club La Costa, heard at Arona Courts nº 1, nº 2 and nº 3, and in Fuengirola.

In all three cases, the court rejected Club La Costa’s attempts to change jurisdiction (where the cases should be heard or by whom). The decisions were based on the claimants’ ability to bring proceedings in various appropriate forums, including the defendant’s country of residence, meaning the cases could proceed under Spanish law.

The contractual names used by Club La Costa in these jurisdiction cases included:

• Club La Costa Sucursal España
• Club La Costa Continental Resort Services
• Club La Costa Paradise Trading
