The lawyer said that the contract signed between the Dominican authorities and the British firm Biwater had a clause which stated that any judicial problem could only be airing in justice English.

"In the file there is a very serious matter;" "the British argued that this was not to judge here in Dominican Republic, and established in the contract that if he had a conflict should know in your country," argued Vinicio Castillo.

Argued that the decision one of the judges of the second u000aOf the Court of Appeal Civil Division, issued a dissenting vote in which established that the case could not be judged in the country, because the Supreme Court itself had been established by judgment when there is such a clause must be respected.

The dissenting vote was by Judge Robert Plasencia, who was appointed judge of the Supreme Court of Justice, by the National Council of Magistracy.

That now is up to the researchers identify who within the Supreme or relatives, could have influence and power to abandon its own jurisprudence", he said.
