(Pemex, 10.Aug.2015) – The Second Joint Civil Court of the Third Circuit, based in the city of Guadalajara, granted the appeal filed by Pemex thus declaring the absence of damages claimed by the company Bardahl de México SA de C.V.
The above sentence is of utmost importance in the context of the Energy Reform, providing legal certainty to trade relations in the sector.
In 2007, Bardahl promoted a lawsuit against Pemex-Refining claiming, among other benefits, payment of damages resulting from monopolistic practices in the market of oils and lubricants.
After 8-years of litigation, the Joint Court ruled unanimously that there were no damages, nor was their existence credited, therefore Pemex must be absolved of carrying out any payment.
