It ruled that the four-week contract was null and void because it was sold in perpetuity and included floating weeks. 

And, because Anfi took a big deposit during legal cooling-off period, the sum returned is twice the price that the former timeshare owner paid. 

Yes, the owners got back double their money!

It's the latest in a string of Gran Canaria court decisions against Gran Canaria timeshare companies this year. 

More will follow because the Spanish supreme court has clarified Spanish timeshare law.

Timeshare & Spanish Law

A series of unappealable 2015 Supreme Court judgements have created a precedent in Spanish timeshare law. They affect timeshare in Gran Canaria, the Canary Islands and everywhere else in Spain. 

The Supreme Court has ruled that all timeshare contracts signed after January 4, 1999, that contain any of the following three points are illegal. 

• Floating weeks or an open date. This includes Holiday Clubs.
• An undefined period of time. All timeshare contracts must last between three and fifty years.

AND

• Any timeshare contract, even ones that are legal, is null and void if the company took a deposit or payment from the buyer with 14 days of the signing. If the contract contains any other illegal clauses, this period is extended to three months. 

The result is that thousands of timeshare contracts in the Canary Islands and Spain are not just illegal but so illegal that they are null and void. That means the timeshare company has to give back all the money it took.
