£19,353 Royal Park Albatros timeshare claim win in the High Court of Tenerife

Our legal team were successful last week in a case against Explotacion Hotelera (Royal Park Albatros), heard in the High Court of Tenerife. The court awarded £19,353 to the client, with costs also awarded.

In our most recent case against Club La Costa, the Court of Appeal rejected the jurisdiction argument that Club La Costa raised, claiming the procedure belonged in the English courts. That position was not accepted under the relevant Spanish and European laws, which provide stronger protection due to the consumer’s status. The court also confirmed Paradise Trading as the vendor, despite arguments that they were not liable because they were “not part of the contract”. Club La Costa further argued the contract had a 19-year duration (rather than perpetuity), but this term was found to be conditional on the sale of allocated property. Finally, the court confirmed the lack of determination of the object of the contract. On this occasion, we obtained £11,056 awarded to our client.

In a separate favourable judgment against Leisure Dimensions & Albatros Ventas, one of our clients was awarded £4,395. In addition, our legal team achieved three jurisdiction victories against Club La Costa Sucursal.
