Order 2966-2024

On September 16, 2024, the Twelfth Civil Court issued an order directing that both Villamorey, S.A. and Juan Luis Bosch Gutiérrez be served by edict. The decision followed a report from the court secretary informing the judge that Lisa, S.A., as plaintiff, had requested the issuance of an edict to notify the defendants of Order No. 2966-2024—admitted and later corrected by Order No. 1217-2024—after multiple failed attempts to notify them personally. The court noted that the defendants’ whereabouts were unknown, meeting the conditions of Article 1017 of the Judicial Code.

The order advances Lisa’s damages case by ensuring that notification—previously obstructed by Villamorey and Bosch’s lack of a reachable address—will proceed through publication. Service by edict allows the case to move forward despite the defendants’ continued unavailability, preventing further delays in Lisa’s efforts to enforce its shareholder rights and pursue damages for long-standing misconduct.
