Legally, Len and Helen Prior have a strong case.  Under the Human Right Act, which Spain has signed up to, the European Convention of Human Rights, Article 2 - Right to Life and Article 8 - Right to Respect for family and private life, provide they are afforded protection.  Clearly there has been a misunderstanding between two authorities.  At this stage, I would argue that it is academic who is in the wrong, the important factor is, a couple have been made homeless having adhered to the legal requirements of that authority, albeit, someone within that authority has acted incorrectly (some one elses problem!).

Whilst it may be a protracted case, I strongly suggest that they, and any othe couple in similar circumstances seek the advice of a solicitor who is competent in European Law.  Compensation will follow.
