Damages and Losses Lawsuits

13 lawsuits

Defeating damages claims and asset seizures brought against Lisa for pursuing the dividends it is owed.

Since 2012, Grupo Avícola Villalobos has sued Lisa for alleged damages and sought precautionary seizures (embargos) over Lisa's shares and dividends. The claims are grounded in Lisa's pursuit of declared and withheld dividends and other shareholder rights, which Guatemalan courts have ruled does not constitute damage to the company, and in alleged media activity that, where reached on the merits, courts have found was not attributable to Lisa. No financial or reputational harm has been proven. Lisa has largely defeated these claims, and most associated seizures have been lifted.
