Challenges ruling denying Lisa’s legitimacy and BDT’s intervention

Overview

On February 19, 2025, Lisa, S.A. filed a detailed appellate submission before the First Superior Tribunal challenging Judgment No. 71 of January 31, 2025. Lisa argues that the lower court erred by declaring a lack of standing despite the Superior Tribunal having already affirmed Lisa’s legitimacy when it reversed the initial inadmissibility decision in 2022. The appeal also challenges the lower court’s refusal to admit BDT Investments Inc. as an interested third party, noting that Bosch himself acknowledged the assignment of rights to BDT and that the court ignored Article 747 of the Judicial Code governing such situations.

The appeal further alleges severe procedural violations: failure to follow the special accounting procedure under Articles 1380–1381, failure to rule properly on Bosch’s objections, and disregard of the legal obligation to order Bosch to render an accounting. Lisa also contests the imposition of $40,000 in costs, arguing that the law requires a finding of bad faith, which is absent given that Lisa acted to enforce judicially recognized rights. The submission requests full reversal of the judgment, correction of procedural defects, and removal of the unjust cost order.
