1st Civil Court
The court records that a judicial notifier from the Judiciary appeared at the offices of Villamorey, S.A. to effect service of process in the ordinary damages action Lisa, S.A. brought in <law id="pty-8853-24" />, but was unable to do so. This failed attempt triggered the procedure under Article 1017 of the Judicial Code, which authorizes the court to summon the legal representative directly before resorting to service by edict.
Lisa's damages claim had been admitted by <doc id="pty-8853-24-2024-04-12-a" /> of April 12, 2024, and the court subsequently added Juan Luis Bosch Gutiérrez as a personal defendant by <doc id="pty-8853-24-2024-05-08-a" /> of May 8, 2024. By the date of this notice, nearly three months had elapsed without either defendant being personally served.
The court grants Villamorey, S.A. a three-day period to appear and receive formal notification of the order transferring the lawsuit. The warning is explicit: if the defendant company fails to appear within the allotted time, it will be served by edict at its own expense. Villamorey did not appear within the granted period, leading to the <doc id="pty-8853-24-2024-07-16-a" /> of July 16, 2024 documenting further failed attempts, and ultimately to <doc id="pty-8853-24-2024-09-16-a" /> of September 16, 2024 directing service by edict.
