RE:JT requests files two petitions in 3784-2016 MTStack, you stated:
"The Chilean legal system must accept all lawsuits that meet the legal requirements for filing. There is no such thing as summary dismissal in Chilean law. The Court can not prejudge the issues of a lawsuit to prevent it from coming to trial."
Notwithstanding that it's Torres who has filed yet another court action, does it not seem evident that Chile's legal system is structured so that... as ugluaak suggested... they end up "tripping all over themselves"? It begs the question: what are the 'legal requirements' for filing? Are they strictly procedural, or is there some kind of pre-qualification or evaluation of the merits of the action?
It appears to me (admittedly no expert in Chilean law), that in certain circumstances a very well trained, or a very experienced, or a very tenacious lawyer, could keep charges and accusations going on for years and years and years. C1912-2001 was an example of that, and although it may have seen it's final judgement, there seems to be little that prevents somewhat "parallel" actions of coming before the courts. On the face of it, it looks like a cumbersome and extremely time-consuming business and it makes me wonder at what point a "final" decision will be made... specifically with this question of a precautionary measure on the Tesoros concessions.
One thing is clear to me: you'd better have a lot of patience and very deep pockets if you want to see something through to the end. Jorge must still be tickled that he found Brent and the MSX shareholders to rely on for that. I wonder where he's finding the financing now?
