[NewsWhore]

The judge at the Third Chamber of the Civil and Commercial Court in Santo Domingo ordered Dell, the computer giant, to pay a RD$116.5 million indemnity to Xolutiva, S.A., their former local representative. The Dominican company had asked for RD$300 million compensation payment because Dell unilaterally withdrew its marketing agreement in violation of Law 173 on International Representations. According to the sentence handed down by the magistrate, Xolutiva had represented Dell in the DR since 1997. Dell decided unilaterally not to renew its contract with Xolutiva. The court invited Dell to send representatives to the trial on two occasions, but Dell refused on both opportunities.
