The decision was of a strictly procedural nature. According to the content of the edict, the court did not delve into the merits of the evidence or its relevance to clarifying the facts, limiting itself to a strict interpretation of the procedural terms.
Notification and Deadlines The edict was posted in a public place at the court's secretariat on January 8, 2026, at 4:00 p.m., for a term of five business days, initiating the corresponding legal deadlines for the parties to exercise the remedies they deem pertinent.
Case Context The case is part of a long-standing civil dispute linked to alleged financial irregularities, whose development has been closely followed in Panama and other jurisdictions.
The Fourth Civil Liquidating Court of the First Judicial Circuit of Panama denied the request to extend the deadline for the practice of evidence within the ordinary proceeding filed by Rugiere Nelson Galvez against BANISI, S.A., as stated in an official edict recently posted at the court.
Sources close to the case indicate that the plaintiff is evaluating the legal avenues available, both at the internal level and in higher instances, to safeguard their right to an effective judicial remedy.
Consulted experts point out that this type of resolution, although valid from a formal standpoint, does not assess whether the denial may affect the right to defense or due process, especially in high-complexity financial litigation.
The decision was adopted through Resolution No. 30 / 162-17, dated January 6, 2026, in which the court resolved not to grant an additional term or reschedule the requested evidence, basing its determination on Article 811 of the Judicial Code.
