This lawsuit centers on Villamorey, S.A. and Juan Luis Bosch Gutiérrez’s continued withholding of dividends belonging to Lisa, S.A. long after the Eleventh Civil Court ordered the judgment to be satisfied through setoff in 2018. Although the setoff extinguished the debt and ended all embargoes, Villamorey and Bosch—acting as judicial depositaries—refused to return the surplus dividends, failed to provide an accounting, and maintained a false embargo notation, prompting years of enforcement actions by Lisa to recover its funds.

This lawsuit concerns Villamorey, S.A.’s refusal to comply with the Eleventh Civil Court’s binding payment order directing it to pay more than $51 million in dividends owed to Lisa, S.A. Despite the order’s immediate enforceability and the non-suspensive nature of Villamorey’s appeal, the required embargo and enforcement measures were never carried out, leaving the payment mandate unexecuted and prompting repeated efforts by Lisa to compel judicial enforcement.

This lawsuit centers on BDT Investments Inc.’s multi-year effort to recover $19 million in funds and rights belonging to Lisa, S.A. but withheld by Villamorey, S.A. even after the Twelfth Civil Court lifted the 2012 attachment and approved the parties’ binding settlement. Despite final appellate confirmation, Villamorey and its agent Juan Luis Bosch Gutiérrez refused to release the funds or account for their management, forcing BDT to pursue additional judicial measures in 2025 to secure full compliance.

This lawsuit arises from Villamorey, S.A.’s ongoing refusal to issue and register the 33.33% shareholding that BDT Investments Inc. legally acquired from Lisa, S.A. and which was validated by Order No. 898-2022. Despite acknowledging BDT’s ownership in multiple judicial filings, Villamorey has blocked the issuance of nominative shares, withheld access to the shareholder registry, and prevented BDT from exercising its corporate rights—forcing BDT to seek a court order compelling compliance and restoring legal certainty.

This lawsuit arises from Villamorey, S.A. and Juan Luis Bosch Gutiérrez’s long-standing refusal to deliver dividends owed to Lisa, S.A., despite recognizing Lisa as a 33.33% shareholder and repeatedly convening it as such. After years of nonpayment, denial of financial information, and obstruction of shareholder rights, Lisa filed an ordinary damages action to quantify the withheld dividends and recover resulting losses.

This lawsuit arises from Juan Luis Bosch Gutiérrez’s long-standing failure to render a judicial accounting for the dividends he and Villamorey, S.A. have held under judicial deposit since 2008. Despite formally acknowledging custody of the funds and despite multiple judicial determinations affirming Lisa, S.A.’s right to an accounting, Bosch refused to appear, withheld the dividends for more than sixteen years, and blocked transparency into the use and status of the deposited assets, forcing Lisa—and later BDT Investments Inc.—into extended litigation to obtain judicial oversight and restitution.

This lawsuit arises from Villamorey, S.A.’s persistent refusal to provide a formal accounting to Lisa, S.A., despite clear judicial orders requiring full disclosure of corporate management and shareholder information. For years, Villamorey withheld financial records and millions in dividends, ignored court-mandated deadlines, and resisted oversight through procedural attacks—including a failed amparo, an unsuccessful recusal strategy, and multiple rejected objections—prompting contempt findings, substantial fines, and asset attachments. The appellate courts have repeatedly confirmed Lisa’s rights as a 33.33% shareholder and reinstated the action, emphasizing Villamorey’s ongoing legal duty to render accounts and disclose the information it has long concealed.
