DCC 270/2001

The Court of Cassation looked at a case concerning a lawsuit filed by the appellant company requesting an order compelling the respondent company, and two other litigants, who were part of the company to be jointly liable to pay material and moral damages for their refusal to sign a contract after having initially accepted the contract clauses and payment conditions. The Court upheld the appealed judgment, which rejected the original and accessory claim on the basis no party shall intervene in the lawsuit in which the appealed judgment was rendered, if it is not litigant in the same, except for those for which the judgment is considered an argument and that the agreement between the appellant company and the respondent company was not originally concluded.
