Overview

On March 20, 2024, the Twelfth Civil Court of First Instance in Guatemala admitted BDT Investments Inc. as a third-party co-litigant in support of Lisa, S.A. in a 2012 case brought by Reproductores Avícolas, S.A. The court acknowledged the authority of BDT’s representative and accepted its procedural standing based on the transaction agreement and accompanying documentation.

BDT was admitted without affecting the position of the original defendant, Lisa, S.A., and the court formally accepted the evidentiary submissions listed in the filing. The ruling cited Article 553 of the Civil Procedure Code and relevant constitutional and judicial provisions. This ruling aligns with multiple similar admissions of BDT across related dividend recovery proceedings.
