The ruling declares the nullity of the contract because timeshare sold by Marriott (MVCI) violate the law in several very important aspects. In the first place they do not comply with the Spanish Law and with the information requirements that it imposes, on the other hand they sell indeterminate objects (one gold holiday two bedroom), not duly specified as described in article 9.1.3 of Law 42/98 . Thirdly, they are for an indefinite term, that is, for a term greater than the one legally established in the aforementioned Law in its article 3. As we see, many are the violations of the law in which Marriott commits and that has caused in this case that the Court declare the contract null and void. For this reason, and for the time that has elapsed since the signing of the contract in 2004, customers will receive as part of the price paid the sum of 11,620 pounds.
In addition, the defendant companies, MVCI Holidays and MVCI Management, have also been ordered to return the amounts received in advance, which were for an amount of 16,000 pounds, the full price of the contract.
In total, clients will receive 28,220 pounds from Marriott, with interest and also the reimbursement of legal costs.
