Timeshare Directive
Law 42/98
In January 1999 the Spanish goverment brought in Law42/98 with the sole purpose of protecting Timeshare consumer's.
It was deemed illegal to take any up front costs within a 90 day period .
Any contracts including Floating, Flexi or Points were regarded as illegal from this date forward.
It was also deemed illegal to enter a pertpetuity contract or any contract lasting more than 50 years.
The story of Spanish Legal History and the first Supreme Court Rulings fundamentally brought about a seed change in overall Timeshare law. It was a long-running battle because when Spanish Timeshare Law 42/98 was enacted in January 1999, the Timeshare industry did not change their practices in accordance with the new laws. This law was put into place to protect consumers from malpractice and lay down regulations on the sale of Timeshare, which previously had been totally unregulated. The Timeshare industry believed they were “untouchable”, that they were too powerful and the law was wrong. As you will see this was not to be the case.
When the Spanish timeshare law was enacted in January 1999, the Timeshare industry was given reasonable opportunity to get their act together and adapt their contracts to comply with the law, which the vast majority of companies did not do,

Supreme Court Ruling
An EU resident has recently been awarded more than an estimated €140,000 after what has been called a “ground-breaking” EU court ruling that promises to shake many operators within the Timeshare industry to their very core.
The Provincial High Court ruling ordering Anfi to refund all of the clients payments, plus interest and legal fees, after a case that has lasted more than 2 years.
The client was persuaded by Gran Canaria’s Anfi Sales S.L. in 2001 to sign a contract for Timeshare, paying deposit illegally within their colling off period with their credit card, the courts have ruled that their right to a full “cooling off period” was certainly breached. The law on this is strict, Timeshare sellers cannot take a deposit within the first 10 days of any contract, in this case it seems they did.
