NINE JURISDICTION VICTORIES AGAINST CLUB LA COSTA

NINE JURISDICTION VICTORIES AGAINST CLUB LA COSTA

M1 Legal are happy to report NINE jurisdiction victories.

After an initial court decision that the cases did not fall under Spanish jurisdiction, M1 Legal appealed the decision which was reversed by the Malaga court of appeal. The defence argued that the cases should not be heard in Spain claiming that the contract fell under English Law. The appeal judge ruled in ALL NINE cases that they can be heard in Spain.

The judge also commented that the UK address used in the contracts is not where any company activity is carried out, leaving the Spanish address which makes the lawsuits valid for Spanish jurisdiction.

The contractual names vary and are listed below:

  • Club la Costa UK PLC
  • Club la Costa UK PLC Sucursal en España
  • Paradise Trading S.L.

All cases will now be re-submitted for judgement.

About Timeshare Release

During the Timeshare sales boom of the 80s & 90s, potential buyers were lured in by the promise of affordable exotic holidays, flexible exchange programmes and the impression that Timeshare would be a valuable "investment".

In an industry with little or no regulation, high pressure sales tactics were rife and contract smallprint was often glossed over and explained away by sharp salespeople.

Many Timeshare buyers were therefore unaware that they were actually making significant, long term financial commitments on behalf of themselves and their families.

The Timeshare Trap

The timeshare trap

For many Timeshare owners, annual maintenance fees were barely considered token amounts in the early "honeymoon period" of ownership.

However, year-on-year increases imposed by the resorts over time now mean that the maintenance fees have risen to become substantial sums.

Owners are also facing the prospect of ongoing yearly fee increases and realising that they (and their families) are often committed to long term contracts for generations to come.

Please try our Future Fees Calculator to estimate your liabilities over the term of your Timeshare contract, based on an annual increase of 7.5%.

If you're concerned about rising fees and how to escape the Timeshare Trap, please contact us today.

Recent comments from RCI Timeshare owners who have come to us for help with contract cancellation:

Mr Steve R, Middlesex - RCI/Hollywood Mirage

“We 'swapped ‘another place in Tenerife for this in order to move to the points system. Since then, getting exchanges to desirable resorts proves almost impossible, irrespective of in-season or off-season.”

Mrs Rachael B, Yorkshire - RCI Europe

“I purchased my timeshare in 1999 and have been a timeshare member ever since. More often than not, I have not be able to go where I wanted and have ended up giving a few weeks to Friends, etc to book somewhere they wanted in order not to lose the weeks. I have then stayed in a hotel!! I am desperately trying to get rid of the timeshare and am now paying Timeshare Shop in Manchester to get rid of it for me.”
