Positive Ruling in Mercantile Executive Litigation Regarding Promissory Note Signed by Legal Representative Without Authority
MF and Abogados developed a comprehensive strategy in favor of their client to ensure the collection of a promissory note that had been signed by a representative lacking explicit authority to do so.
This strategy included the positive actions inherent to the commercial relationship, such as the invoices and delivery notes that supported said promissory note.
The defendant was sentenced to pay the claimed benefits after positive acts were proven to have led to the belief, according to commercial customs, that such a third party was authorized to subscribe credit instruments on behalf of the defendant, further establishing a tacit ratification of the promissory note by the signatory.
