Consultation
Before taking any action, we need to hear your story and assess your situation and personal circumstances. Even when we take collective legal action, your rights will be defended individually.
Transparency
We know that clear, comprehensive communication is the foundation of a claim involving multiple parties.
That is why everyone will be informed individually before making any commitment or taking any action.

We know the history and development in detail
Three years ago, an advert for The StartUp island on social media prompted a question: is it real or a scam?
We began an investigation to find out and, along the way, discovered Eco Beach City. We reviewed Indonesian newspapers, climate conditions, infrastructure costs and feasibility, transport, previous business experience, leasehold arrangements, interviews, reports and more. Since then, we have continued to follow all the details.
We shared our conclusion on social media and took part in a Youtube interview with Alternatribu. Here is an excerpt from our contribution and an article in ViveDistinto.

Can a claim be brought in Spain?
The answer is simple: yes
You can bring a civil claim and report a criminal offence in Spain. Even if the contract contains a clause favouring Indonesian law and courts, in this case you are protected by Spain’s Organic Law on the Judiciary and its consumer protection laws.
Furthermore, as there are indications of criminal offences, a criminal complaint can be filed in Spain under the principle of ubiquity, which is recognised internationally for determining territorial jurisdiction.

Spanish jurisdiction offers greater safeguards
Spain Offers Stronger Legal Protection for Eco Beach Claims
The courts have experience in international cooperation. The Spanish jurisdiction is more stable and has better facilities and personnel for these proceedings.
Can a claim be brought now? Again, the answer is simple: criminal offences must be reported as soon as they become known. We have already done so, and you can find more information here.
In civil matters, the Spanish Supreme Court recognises that this is possible “when there is objective certainty that the party under an obligation will not fulfil its contractual obligations, there is no need to wait until the deadline to seek termination of the contract.”
