    Private Higher Studies Center offering a course on osteopathy, informing in the brochures that it will be validated by the official British Agency and that the course would be held for, that purpose, in Madrid. However, the course location was changed and to be held in London, resulting in an extra cost that amounted to 5,000 euros.

  • Cuestión jurídica

    Possibility of facing being convicted of a crime related to the market and consumers for false advertising and, consequently, before a civil liability.

  • Decisión

    The decision is based on the opinion that the offer was not intentionally misleading because the defendant initially had the reasonable expectation that the course would take place in Madrid. The judges affirmed that it was the British agency who, after 2003 and not before, decided to transfer the place of study to London, at that moment the information provided was not initially incorrect, which eliminates misleading advertising.
