The Dell Corporation has been ordered by the magistrate at the Civil and Commercial Chamber of the First Instance for the province of Santo Domingo to cease its operations in the Dominican Republic. This decision means that Xolusat, S.A. will maintain its exclusive rights for sales and service of Dell products in the country. The magistrate's decree allows Xolusat to continue operations and represents a guarantee of the rights granted under Law 173 that covers representatives and distributors of merchandise and products. Xolusat had sued Dell because Dell had unilaterally violated the agreement that granted Xolusat exclusive rights for the sale and service of Dell products in the DR. The court sided with Xolusat, which has been representing Dell in the country since 1997. Dell did not offered any compensation to Xolusat. Although Xolusat had asked for RD$300 million in damages, the court awarded the company less than half that amount, RD$116.5 million.
