CLC, Diamond, Onagroup and Fuerteventura Life Spanish timeshare court victories: £212,782 awarded

We are pleased to share last week’s Spanish court victories. The legal team at M1 Legal secured 12 awards totalling £212,782.

Club La Costa (CLC): Six awards were made against Club La Costa, totalling £91,770. In these cases, the court found the contracts to be null due to a lack of key information, including details of the property and when clients could use it.

Onagroup (Resotel & Medhotel): There was also an award against Onagroup’s Resotel & Medhotel. The contract was declared null for the same lack of information, with £34,330 awarded to the client.

Diamond Resorts: Diamond Resorts also lost a case that went in our favour. The contract was found to be null on the same basis (missing information about the property and usage), with £20,238 awarded.

Appeals

The Court of Appeal ruled in our favour against Fuerteventura Life and dismissed all points raised. They were also ordered to pay court costs. £9,200 was awarded.

In addition, we secured three appeal wins against CLC, with CLC also ordered to pay court costs. The total value of these cases is £57,240.

Jurisdiction

M1 Legal secured four jurisdiction victories last week, valued at £45,696: two against CLC and two against Diamond Resorts. The defence challenged whether the cases should be heard in the Spanish courts. Three wins were at the initial jurisdiction hearing, and one was a win on appeal. All jurisdiction cases will now move forward to the next stage.
