Fifteen Spanish timeshare court victories valued at £217,654 in awards

We are pleased to share this week’s Spanish timeshare court victories. M1 Legal secured 15 successful judgements with a combined value of £217,654.

Below is a summary of the key outcomes.

First Instance Courts

• CLC World (x3) – Fuengirola Court of First Instance No. 1: in all three cases, the judge declared the timeshare contracts null under Law 04/2012 due to missing information about the accommodation and the contract term. Amounts awarded: £23,174, £17,659, £16,950.
• Silverpoint – Arona (Tenerife) Court of First Instance No. 3: Silverpoint accepted the grounds of the claim. Amount awarded: £35,060.
• Silverpoint – Arona (Tenerife) Court of First Instance No. 3: the judge declared the contract null under Law 04/2012 (contract duration). Amount awarded: £10,320.

M1 Legal also achieved positive results against Tasolan and Diamond Resorts.

Appeals

• Anfi – Court of Appeal No. 5, Las Palmas (Gran Canaria): this case was originally lost at First Instance because the contract was treated as cancelled due to non-payment of maintenance fees. M1 Legal appealed, and the Court of Appeal ruled in our favour, awarding court costs as well. The contract was declared null due to missing accommodation information under Law 04/2012. Amount awarded: £18,054.
• Anfi – Court of Appeal No. 3, Las Palmas (Gran Canaria): the Court of Appeal confirmed the First Instance judgement declaring the contract null and void due to a lack of accommodation information under Law 42/1998. Amount awarded: £31,810.
• Anfi – Further appeal victory: the case was lost at First Instance because the judge considered the contract pre-dated Law 42/1998 and therefore the claim could not be brought. M1 Legal appealed and won. Amount awarded: £9,167.
• CLC World – Málaga Court of Appeal (Costa del Sol): the Court confirmed the First Instance judgement declaring the contract null and void due to missing accommodation information and an unclear contract period under Law 04/2012. Amount awarded: £12,814.
• CLC World – Court of Appeal No. 4, Tenerife: CLC’s appeal was dismissed, with the Court upholding the nullity of the timeshare under Law 04/2012 (accommodation and contract duration). Amount awarded: £14,251.
• Tasolan – Court of Appeal No. 3, Las Palmas (Gran Canaria): the Court upheld the First Instance judgement declaring the contract null due to missing information on accommodation and contract duration under Law 04/2012. Amount awarded: £11,352.

In addition, two further appeals against Anfi and one against Tasolan were decided in our favour, with the Court of Appeal confirming that the original judgements stand.
