Tui sees 1,800 holiday sickness cases against it dropped
Tui UK & Ireland claims one law firm has dropped 1,800 holiday sickness cases against it and has revealed customers who submitted false or exaggerated against hoteliers in Majorca in the past year can now “expect criminal action to be taken.
The company also had a “very positive” meeting with the Spanish police “to discuss the unprecedented levels of illness claims” last week.
The criminal Courts of Palma de Mallorca, Spain, are investigating the claims brought by hundreds of UK holidaymakers in respect of dishonest or exaggerated illness they allege was caused by the tour operator or hotel.
The investigation has centered on the activities of “claims farmers” who have encouraged holidaymakers to make claims, however the individuals who have brought fraudulent claims are also now facing prosecution in Spain.
