19.Apr.2010 £5 million suit filed against major holidays company
More than six hundred tourists have jointly filed a £5 million suit against First Choice Holidays after stating that they became ill at a four-star resort that they stayed in a couple of years ago.
According to the suit, the guests were served uncooked chicken. They also swam in the pools at the Holiday Village Hotel in Sarigerme, Turkey that is already contaminated with human feces.
The suit was filed at the High Court in London. The court said that First Choice has already admitted its liability for the supliers’ negligence two years ago. The travel firm, located in Crawley, West Sussex, has given its commitment in increasing the safety checks in its suppliers.
The case is currently ongoing and developments will be announced in the coming weeks.
First Choice Holidays has yet to release an official statement about the matter.
