Two CLC World court victories in Spain: contracts declared null, £22,138 awarded

We are pleased to share this week’s positive outcomes in Spanish timeshare court cases. M1 Legal secured TWO awards totalling £22,138 in cases involving CLC World-related entities, with the contracts declared null.

First Instance Court rulings

• CLC Continental – Arona, Court No. 1: the judge declared the contract null under the requirements of law 04/2012 due to a lack of information regarding the accommodation and the contract duration. Amount awarded: £10,979.
• CLC Sucursal & Continental – Fuengirola, Court No. 3: the judge declared the contract null under law 04/2012 for the same reasons (insufficient information on the accommodation and the contract duration). Amount awarded: £11,159.

We also succeeded against the registered owner of CLC Monterey, Reymonte Title 2 S.L., which is the only entity shown in some CLC information documents. Going forward, this case can be used to identify Reymonte ownerships in the RP (note of ownerships) and bring claims in the bankruptcy incidents by providing a simple note of the accommodation number in each contract and where Reymonte appears as the owning entity.

Jurisdiction

Three cases valued at £68,049

This week’s positive jurisdiction decisions were against Diamond Resorts, CLC Paradise and Anfi. In two cases, the court rejected the timeshare company’s appeal that sought to stop proceedings in Spain. In addition, Anfi attempted to take the case to the Supreme Court, but this was rejected.

All three cases will now move to the next stage.
