Clients of Canarian Legal Alliance whom entered a contract in perpetuity with Anfi Sales SL and Anfi Resorts SL have won another case. The ruling, which was held by the Supreme Court in Madrid (the highest legal authority in Spain), ordered that Anfi should pay the clients a sum of more than €51,000 in compensation plus interest and legal costs. The sum that is almost double of that which the client outlaid at the start of their contract with Anfi.
This is an important case, as it is only the second of its kind in which RDO members ‘Anfi Resorts SL’ have had to repay the initial value of a previous timeshare resort that was later transferred to their current ownership. The sum of the payout is also significant, as Anfi have been ordered to pay double the original deposit back to the client after the ruling that the taking of any money for payment of anything within the cooling off period is illegal. This case comes only 6 weeks after the TCA reporting of CLA’s 5 wins in the month up to April 2016 against RDO members.
This is a great achievement for the Canarian Legal Alliance, and presumably for other timeshare owners in similar situations that could be looking to re-coup their initial payouts and more. However, another blow for the Resort Development Organisation (RDO) of which Anfi Resorts and Anfi Sales are members, not withholding much confidence.
