Fallo de Apelación: Appeals court reserved merits in abuse claim by Avícola Villalobos

On March 17, 2025, Lisa, S.A. received a ruling from the Second Civil and Commercial Court of Appeals denying its appeal of a July 26, 2024 order that rejected two procedural objections. Lisa, S.A. had challenged the sufficiency and legal grounding of a claim filed by Avícola Villalobos, emphasizing the lack of proven damages and misuse of legal mechanisms through unsupported accusations. The appeal outlined substantial concerns about the internal consistency of the lawsuit and the misapplication of legal norms.

Although the appeal was denied, the appellate court agreed that Lisa, S.A.'s arguments address matters that must be examined during the trial, rather than resolved in the preliminary phase. This confirms Lisa's right to fully defend itself and question the legitimacy of the claim in court. The decision does not prejudge the merits of the case, thereby preserving Lisa, S.A.'s opportunity to establish at trial that the claims against it lack both legal and factual basis.
