Lisa, S.A. owns roughly one third of the Avícola Villalobos Group, one of Central America's largest poultry producers. Since 1999, that stake has yielded nothing: the dividends, the financial information, and the shareholder rights to which Lisa is legally entitled have all been withheld.
Courts in Bermuda, Panama, and Guatemala confirmed those rights. The controlling shareholders answered not with payment but with obstruction: enforcement refused, accounting withheld, and hundreds of Guatemalan proceedings filed to delay or extinguish Lisa's claims.
This site is the underlying record. Every claim links to a primary document — court orders, filings, judgments — published in full, in both languages, with no editorial summary standing between the reader and the source.
Two active fronts, and the rulings behind them
The case is litigated today in Panama and Guatemala. Both fronts seek to enforce rights that were first confirmed elsewhere — in Bermuda.
Panama
Active front
Shareholder-rights and enforcement proceedings before the Panamanian courts, including the unpaid $51.6 million dividend order.
Guatemala
Active front
Hundreds of Group-company suits — exclusion, damages, prescription — seeking to extinguish Lisa's claims, rejected at every level to date.
