Twelfth Civil Court of First Instance
April 19th, 2024
Issues

Reproductores Avícolas filed a revocatoria against the March 20 ruling admitting BDT, alleging lack of standing, incomplete transfer of rights, tax issues, and defective protocolization.

Ruling

The court denied the revocatoria, explaining that BDT was admitted only as a co-defendant and not as a replacement for Lisa. It added that the determination of whether BDT had a “certain and own interest” must be resolved in the final judgment together with the merits, and that the objections raised regarding tax compliance and protocolization were premature.

Effect

The March 20 ruling admitting BDT remained firm.

Conclusion

The court confirmed BDT Investments Inc. as a co-defendant supporting Lisa and rejected the plaintiff’s challenge. This strengthens Lisa’s defense with BDT’s participation, while the substantive question of dividend prescription remains pending.
