Abstract

JPPEL 10,3 The final issue of the Journal’s re-launch volume sees an interesting mix of papers and viewpoints, once again spanning the disciplines we have seen represented in the earlier issues. It is pleasing to see contributions from a range of jurisdictions along with a very pertinent viewpoint from the European Union’s perspective. Caballe Fabra provides an interesting examination of the concept of the “condohotel”.As its name suggests, this is an arrangement that combines the features of a condominium and a hotel. While condohotels have become established in countries such as France, Australia, the USA and some states of Latin America, they have seen limited success in Spain. Caballe Fabra considers the legal arrangements for condohotels in the Spanish regions and their limitations. She concludes that lack of comprehensive regulation in place causes legal uncertainty and opens the arrangement up to abuse (particularly on the part of the hotel companies). In the second paper, Smart and Burgos take a human rights perspective in analysing the provision of adequate housing in Chile.
