Villamorey Dividend Recovery

5 lawsuits

Enforcing the return of $51.6M in Lisa dividends held (and withheld) by court-appointed depositaries since 2008.

Since October 2008, Villamorey, S.A. and its Legal Representative Juan Luis Bosch Gutiérrez have held Lisa, S.A.'s dividends as court-appointed depositaries. In December 2018, a Panamanian court satisfied Villamorey's $894,718 counterclaim by set-off against those held dividends, which far exceeded it, lifting the sequestration. Since then, Villamorey and Bosch have refused to render accounting and have defied orders to pay $51.6M in retained dividends and to transfer Lisa's 33.33% Villamorey stake to BDT. Several enforcement and accounting proceedings remain active before Panama's civil courts.
