Court Confirms Expiry of AR$22.3 Billion Vialidad Civil Claim Against Fernández de Kirchner

The chamber applied caducidad after six months of inaction by Vialidad Nacional.

Overview

  • Sala III of the Federal Civil and Commercial Chamber rejected Vialidad Nacional's appeal and left the first-instance dismissal in place.
  • The ruling extinguishes the civil demand, so Cristina Fernández de Kirchner no longer owes the AR$22.3 billion sought as compensation.
  • Judges Juan Perozziello Vizier and Eduardo Daniel Gottardi issued the decision in a divided vote, affirming Judge Marcelo Bruno Dos Santos.
  • The court found the plaintiff took no procedural steps for the required period, noting the last recorded action was on March 17, 2023.
  • The criminal conviction and the separate asset-execution process for an estimated AR$685 billion decomiso continue in Comodoro Py.
