Order: Admits BDT’s intervention as third-party with legitimate interest

On March 21, 2024, the Eleventh Civil Court of First Instance accepted the appearance of BDT Investments Inc. as a third-party intervener (tercero coadyuvante) in the summary commercial case 01161-2012-00206. The court based its decision on Clause Three of a settlement agreement, which demonstrated that BDT holds a legitimate and direct legal interest in the outcome of the case. The court officially recognized BDT’s legal representation and accepted its electronic address for future notifications.

The ruling establishes that BDT may now assist the defendant in litigation. This procedural admission acknowledges BDT’s standing under Guatemalan law, particularly as derived from a prior transaction in which BDT acquired relevant rights. The order cites various articles of the Constitution, the Civil Procedure Code, and related judicial notification regulations.
