Inside Timeshare has just received this latest news, the lawyers from Canarian Legal Alliance are celebrating today, along with their Norwegian client. No doubt with a few bottles of champagne.
Their Norwegian client’s original claim against Anfi was for 30,000€, but the lawyers asked the court for 108,000€ which included double the deposits including the balance, which was paid within 90 days and maintenance fees. This 90 day ruling was made by the Supreme Court for infringements where the client did not receive adequate information required by law.
Canarian Legal Alliance informed Inside Timeshare that they originally lost the case at the Court of First Instance, located in Maspalomas. then took the case to the High Court in Las Palmas on appeal. This court again invoked the Supreme Court rulings and found in favour of the client.
Anfi, then made moves to appeal that decision at the Supreme Court in Madrid, but this was rejected by Spain’s Highest Court. The court’s reasons for rejecting the appeal was very simple, they had already ruled on 66 previous occasions and there was no reason to accept this appeal as it fell within the scope of those previous decisions. In other words they believed it was a frivolous appeal.
The case was then returned to the High Court who also added a fine on top of the original award, making the amount a whopping 136,000€ which has already been paid into the relevant bank account and is about to be returned to this very happy Norwegian client. He is also now timeshare free as the contract was declared null and void.
So there it is, in black and white and direct from the courts, timeshare companies especially Anfi cannot deny they are losing cases or having to payout. Almost on a daily basis the courts are finding against them, if we were to publish every time a case is won, there would be no room for other news. For many timeshare owners who have cases pending or are just embarking on the road to litigation, this will be welcome news.
Inside Timeshare congratulates the client and all the legal team at Canarian Legal Alliance on this result. We know they work hard for their clients as is shown in the many reports we receive and publish.
