UK: Legal action over holiday illness - (Press Association)
May 17, 2008 – 11:18 pmTwo more holidaymakers claim to have fallen ill at a Spanish hotel at the centre of a £2.5 million compensation payout to British tourists.
Charles Fish, 63, and his wife Ann, 61, from south London, have started legal proceedings against Thomson Holidays, who organised their holiday to the Beach Club Hotel in Torremolinos last month.
Their case comes just three months after the multi-million pound payout to hundreds of holidaymakers who became ill during stays at the same hotel between 2000 and 2003 was completed.
