Legal Tip 409

 Legal tip 409. Good for Murcia Appeals Court in favour of consumers!

07 December 2010 @ 16:35

Another good new today, a Court decission by Murcia Appeal Court by which it is established ( this has Case Law value), in accordance with other jurisdictions in Spain, that penalty clauses when consumers do not complete on off plan purchase contracts can be just of legal interests level ( 4-5% of amounts paid)

This.... against what many contracts in the Murcia area established : loss of the total amounts paid by consumer to developer.

Again in application of Consumer Law and good faith and balance contract principles.

Again... another proof of a healthy legal system :)

Cheers!

Hi Maria

Do you have any advice for us as we bought off plan in Jan 2008 in phase 2 Condado de Alhama which has never been built. We do not want an alternative apartment . Polaris World do not reply to our messages and we would like our deposit and first stage payment returned.

Thankyou for any help you can give

Yours Bridget
