  • MarriottIn Marbella, court No. 8, we won in full against MVCI Holidays and MVCI Management for a contract in Marbella Beach. This is a formidable judgement that we can use in other cases.  The judge was extremely clear that she did not admit interrogatories, leaving it wide open for judgement.  She also dismissed the application for the preliminary ruling to the EU court requested by Marriott.  The nullity was confirmed on the grounds of lack of information regarding the accommodation, and that the General Conditions are not valid as they have been drawn up independently.  Amount Awarded – £26,640.
  • CLC Paradise Trading – In Arona, court No. 3, the judgement declared the contract null under the law 42/1998 (contract period). Amount Awarded – £21,610.
