16th Civil Court
The measure was sought by Lcda. María Luisa Villarreal Palacios, counsel for Lisa, S.A., against Juan Luis Bosch Gutierrez. The court confined its review to the formal admissibility requirements of Article 531(3) of the Judicial Code and, finding them satisfied, proceeded to fix the bond required under subsection 6 of that article without reaching the merits of the underlying claim.
The court set a bond of $5,000,000.00 that Lisa was required to post pursuant to Article 570 of the Judicial Code, to cover any damages that might result from the adoption of the measure. The magnitude of this bond reflects the scale of assets at issue in <law id="pty-83573-21" />, the accounting proceeding in which Bosch and Villamorey, S.A. have held Lisa's dividends under judicial deposit since 2008.
This order came twenty days after the same court issued <doc id="pty-83573-21-2023-01-05-a" /> on January 5, 2023, admitting the special summary accounting demand against Bosch. The attachment request complemented the principal action by seeking to secure the defendant's assets while the proceeding was pending. Subsequently, through <doc id="pty-83573-21-2023-04-11-a" /> of April 11, 2023, the court corrected the original admission to grant Bosch a ten-business-day period to appear and render the accounting.
