Legal tip 509.I made an important mistake: JUDGE SAID WHO BUYS TWO PROPERTIES IS A CONSUMER
22 April 2011 @ 13:01

 In may last post, when refereing to the Totana ( Murcia) Court decission we recently obtained for one of our clients I said:

SOMEONE WHO BUYS TWO PROPERTIES IN SPAIN CANNOT BE CONSIDERED A CONSUMER

when what the Court decission said, according to concept of Consumer by the European  regulations is JUST THE CONTRARY:

SOMEONE WHO BUYS TWO PROPERTIES IN SPAIN IS STILL A CONSUMER

The criteria that the Totana judge exposes in the recent Court decission for this statement are:

1.- If you buy two for renting one of them, as you can still use it, you are the final user of the object.

2.- Most importantly, if the purchases are out of your proffessional sphere, YOU ARE A CONSUMER.

So, no just two but even more, if this does not make your main source of income/proffessional activity, you are proptected by the rules of Consumers Law

Apologies for this and good luck for those who are Consumers again today!

That's good María. Thanks for the clarification. I was worried yesterday when I first read Legal Tip 508. But I thought it was probably just a mistake.

Happy Easter!

Kind regards

Keith
