The Court of First Instance number 24 of Palma de Mallorca shelved a lawsuit against the Spanish Meli\u00e1 chain for the exploitation of two hotels in Cuba for not having jurisdiction and because <\/span>Spain<\/span><\/a> does not have international jurisdiction for its courts to resolve lawsuits on properties located outside its territory.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Palma court judge decided on the closing presented by Meli\u00e1 Hotels International and accordingly declared the lack of jurisdiction and international jurisdiction of the Spanish courts to hear the lawsuit against the hotel group for the exploitation of some plots of land in Cuba, which were nationalized by the Cuban government after the triumph of the 1959 revolution.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a decision, the judge decrees the dismissal of the proceedings and orders the plaintiff to pay the costs, as reported this Tuesday by the Higher Court of Justice of the Balearic Islands in a statement. The resolution is not firm and it is possible to appeal before Palma\u2019s Supreme Court.<\/span><\/p>\n
