Evidentiary hearing ordered for lawsuit between Doral and Finance
Seems the treasury department isn't budging and they will now have to prove the debt is none existent or that Doral has committed some sort of fraud. This will be hard to prove considering that they've ratified the tax documents several times.
You can also listen in to a conference call tomorrow. DATE: Tuesday, August 26, 2014
TIME: 11:00 a.m. EDT
SPEAKER: Dr. Robert Shapiro, Co-founder of Sonecon; former U.S. Undersecretary of Commerce for Economic Affairs
Evidentiary hearing ordered for lawsuit between Doral and Finance
By: NotiCel Posted: 25/08/2014 5:42 pm Negotiations between the Doral bank and the Treasury Department did not culminate Monday as expected. According to the Court notified the parties shall complete the process of discovery of evidence through 5 September to then hold evidentiary hearing.
The conference prior to trial will be on September 10. Counsel for the parties shall submit a preliminary report with any Exhibits five working days before the conference in advance as the top judge ordered Perez Laureana.
The lawsuit with the financial institution arose after Hacienda declared void an agreement entered into in 2012 with the bank through which they must pay almost $ 230 million for taxes allegedly overpaid.
Subsequently, the Treasury Department determined that the agreement was invalid because Doral had not exceeded tax payments.
