Recent, December Court Decission by Leon Appeal Court stating that:

Regardless the existence of a "special account", if there are enough evidences ( Bank being sole financer, Bank knowing private contracts...) for the Bank to know that those amounts were off plan payments by buyers, applying Law 57/68 and its clear protective and antiformalist character, according to the abundant existing Case Law, is liable for the refund of those deposits if the contract is cancelled.

2.  Comunication of the tourism use of the apartment, villa... is not obligatory if just one property is being placed in the tourism market, unless they can voluntarily request the touristic classification.

Just received at the Law Firm: case won against Huma and two related Banks: Popular and Banco de Valencia. Jointly and severally. In relation to a property which was being bought in 2008.

Again Murcia Courts being very sensitive and pro-consumer

Real Bargains in Spain and present, great time for reinvesting those amounts in a real, real estate market at real prices.

Congrats to Murcia Courts, claimants and CostaLuz/De Castro teams.

Cheers!!

Today´s very short legal tip:

If you travelled and stayed in Spain during your holidays and suffered any damage arised from the activity of the Spanish Airline ( delay, lost of luggage...), despite you being  a foreign traveller; your hotel, hostal, rented apartment in Spain will be used as the conection point to ascertain your jurisdiction.

Therefore if, staying in Tarifa, for instance, Courts to decide on your claim are Commercial Courts of Cadiz ( Spain) Province.

Was it useful?

Best for 2014!
