£55k Spanish timeshare court victory over Continental Resorts contract nullity

We are pleased to share an update on last week’s Spanish court victories.

Our legal team secured eight substantive results, with a total amount awarded of £185,361. Below is a breakdown of these cases:

Club La Costa: The court declared the contract null due to missing key information, including details of the property and when it could be used. £11,360 awarded.

Anfi (Gran Canaria Court of Appeal): The Court of Appeal dismissed Anfi’s appeal, upheld the first-instance judgment in our favour, and ordered Anfi to pay costs. £31,703 awarded.

Continental Resorts: One of our longest-running cases resulted in a significant Spanish court win against Continental Resorts. The ruling confirmed the nullity of the contracts and recognised double the amount for payments made within the first three months. Earlier in the process, the Court of Appeal upheld a jurisdiction challenge, so it was necessary to apply for the proceedings to be declared null—something our legal team successfully achieved. This Spanish court ruling against Continental Resorts is expected to be important for future cases. £55,000 awarded.

Silverpoint: The contract was declared null due to missing information about the property, when it could be used, and the contract term. The client is already included on the creditors list in Silverpoint’s liquidation. £44,758 awarded.

Anfi (second case): The judge declared one contract null but not the other, so an appeal is likely to maximise the payout. £16,600 awarded.

Club La Costa (CLC UK PLC Sucursal): The contract was declared null due to missing information about the property and when it could be used. £15,807 awarded.

Anfi (two further cases): The final two cases against Anfi this week totalled £10,132 in awards.

In addition to these substantive victories, we also obtained eight jurisdiction victories valued at £168,526. Seven were against CLC and one against Diamond Resorts. The defence challenged the cases being heard under Spanish jurisdiction. Six were first-instance jurisdiction wins and two were wins on appeal. All eight cases will now proceed to the next stage.
