FINCA PARCS ACTION GROUP vs CLEYTON GES SL & CAJA DE AHORROS DEL MEDITERRÁNEO

Today (Friday 8 June) we received the judgment from the First Instance Court In Hellín:

The Judge found the developer Cleyton GES SL and the Bank - Caja de Ahorros del Mediterráneo (CAM) jointly and severally liable for the repayment in full of the deposits paid (1,494,710 Euros) under the 55 Sales Contracts which were the subject of the Lawsuit, together with legal interest and costs.

This is a significant judgment as none of the buyers received the Bank Guarantees as required by Spanish Law, LEY 57/1968.

The Finca Parcs Action Group are represented by Costa Luz Lawyers and De Castro Gabinete Jurídico.  We are truly grateful for their dedication, hard work and support during the past 4 years.  Special thanks go to María de Castro - back in 2008 she was one of the only Lawyers who believed in my view that the Banks had a liability in such cases and to Jaime de Castro, our litigator, with whom I have worked very closely during the past 2 years.

We are currently studying the Judgment in more detail and further information will follow soon.

As in every First Instance Court judgment the defendants have the right of appeal.

Kind regards
