The courts have sentenced two banks for violating the duty of vigilance imposed by Law 57/68
The courts have returned to give the reason to those affected by the purchase of housing on the plane.
On this occasion, six buyers who purchased a home from a promoter have managed to recover their money invested in a home that has never been delivered to them.
These new sentences condemn two financial entities to return not only the amounts delivered to the promoter, but also all the legal interests accrued from each payment made.
The compensation of the buyers amounts to a total of 107,979 euros.
The promoter projected, in 2007, the construction of 182 homes in the municipality of San Pedro del Pinatar.
However, despite the fact that more than 10 years have elapsed, the promoter is not in a position to deliver any housing - the works that have been stopped for years - and can not return the contributions to the buyers.
Now, some of those affected have managed to recover all their money given to the entities where the buyers made their payments, as well as the legal interests.
These new rulings, legally based on Law 57/68, condemn these two financial entities for having failed to comply with the duty of supervision imposed on them by the aforementioned law.
And it is that this regulation required cooperatives and housing developers to take out an insurance or bank guarantee that guarantees the return of the contributions of the buyers in the event that the homes were not delivered within the term agreed with them.
And, if the banking entities in which the amounts were paid did not monitor that the cooperative or the promoter contracted those guarantees, then the law declares them responsible as has happened in this case.
