On September 16, 2024, the First Civil Circuit Court of Panama issued Edict No. 262/8853-24 to formally summon Villamorey, S.A. and Juan Luis Bosch Gutiérrez to appear in the ordinary damages lawsuit filed by Lisa, S.A. The edict warned that if the defendants failed to appear within ten (10) business days of its publication, a court-appointed absentee defense attorney would represent them for the remainder of the proceedings.

The edict was visibly posted at the court and published for five consecutive days—from September 30 to October 4, 2024—in La Estrella de Panamá. Lisa, S.A.'s attorney, María Luisa Villarreal Palacios, submitted proof of these publications to the court on October 7, 2024, thereby completing the legal notification process by edict under Panamanian judicial procedures.
