We are pleased to share last week’s Spanish timeshare court victories.
Our legal team secured seven successful outcomes in substantive cases, with total awards of £109,544.
In three Club La Costa cases, the courts declared the contracts null and void due to missing key information, including details of the property, when the consumer could use it, and the contract duration. Where the Club La Costa company is in liquidation, the case will be referred to the insolvency practitioner. £52,576 awarded in total.
In a further Club La Costa case, Club La Costa’s appeal was dismissed by the Court of Appeal in Tenerife. The court upheld the first-instance judgment in our favour and ordered Club La Costa to pay costs. £28,757 awarded.
In the final Club La Costa + Reymonte case, Adriana brought a claim against CLC Sucursal and the property owner, Reymonte SL. Reymonte SL was acquitted, and CLC Sucursal was ordered to reimburse the contract amount due to the contract’s nullity. This case has already been submitted for consideration within the liquidation process. £16,940 awarded.
In the Fairways case referenced in last week’s report, Sofia secured a win by lifting the corporate veil on Fairways Club. This creates an important precedent, allowing us to pursue claims against subsidiaries based in tax havens by evidencing their connection to the company that actually requests the maintenance fees (Fairways Amarilla). They argue they are separate entities and not party to the contract—an approach M1 Legal have challenged for years. This time, we achieved a successful result.
There were also two further positive judgments against Anfipan (Airtours) and Anfi, with £11,269 awarded in total.
