C. 01162-2017-00791 • Twelfth Civil Court • Guatemala
BDT Investments Inc. as Third-Party Intervenor
This is a commercial summary lawsuit filed by Reproductores Avícolas, S.A. against Lisa, S.A. over alleged prescription of dividend rights. In 2024, BDT Investments Inc. requested admission as a third-party co-defendant (coadyuvante) to support Lisa’s defense. The court admitted BDT. Reproductores Avícolas filed a revocatoria challenging that admission, but it was denied.
Decisions
Whether BDT Investments Inc. could intervene as co-defendant in support of Lisa.
The court recognized BDT’s legal representation and admitted it as third-party co-defendant, noting its offered evidence.
BDT formally entered the case on Lisa’s side.
Court admitted BDT as co-party in Reproductores case
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.
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.
The March 20 ruling admitting BDT remained firm.
Denies Reproductores’ motion against BDT’s admission
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.
