Supreme Court sets admissibility deadlines for Lisa's cassation
Nov 24 2025
Supreme Court
By resolution dated November 19, 2025, the First Civil Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice placed on the docket the cassation appeal filed by Lisa, S.A. against Juan Luis Bosch Gutiérrez in the Summary Accounting Proceeding (Case File No. 83573-21). The resolution initiates the admissibility phase of the appeal, establishing a six-day period: the first three days for the opposing party to argue against admissibility, and the following three days for Lisa to reply.
This edict is the Supreme Court's first action following Lisa's formal cassation brief on the merits filed on October 20, 2025. In that brief, Lisa challenged the July 9, 2025 ruling of the First Superior Tribunal, which upheld the dismissal of the accounting action on the grounds that Lisa lacked active standing due to its prior assignment of rights to BDT Investments Inc., and that Bosch lacked passive standing because he acted as Villamorey, S.A.'s representative rather than in his personal capacity. Lisa's cassation rests on two grounds: error of law in the assessment of evidence and direct violation by omission of substantive legal provisions, including the Tribunal's failure to rule on BDT's request to intervene as litisconsorte under Articles 612 and 835 of the Judicial Code.
