Rocky's Aqua End of the Line

I really have no idea how this could end up in a meaningful way in a US Federal court despite one person (or even both ) are US citizens when the deal is done in the DR. Of course anyone can start a lawsuit against almost any other person or company in the US, and that is a problem with the US legal system. Under what circumstances does a US court have jurisdiction on what happens in the DR?
Let's say there was a legal basis for a lawsuit in the US courts and it was won in the US, how could it be enforced in the DR?
I have nothing at all to say against Rocky. Not a thing. I hoped Rocky would be successful in a location that I entered once and never entered again while run by the previous owner.
It is the circumstances of the deal that are in question. Going to the courts will be painful and only the lawyers will win.
I would assume experienced business people would put venue for conflict resolution in their contract.
What everyone here seems to not know is that this did go to Court. It took about two years for this decision to be handed down. Rocky lost for non payment of the contract and the lien by Frank on the property is now upheld. So all this talk of lawyers and a long court case is nonsense. Sure he could try and get this overturned, but good luck with that.
The Fat Lady has Sung...............................
And one more thing. I am sure that Frank 12 can attest to the fact that when Big Frank made a deal, whether in writing or on a simple handshake he honored that deal. I know because I have had deals with him. Sorry I can't say the same for the other guy here.

Throw a coat of yellow paint on it , maybe it will turn Green again...
7 pages to get to this point ... amazing
So If Rocky was running this bar for 2 years without actually ever making the full payment for it ...
i wonder who actually made out here .
got no horse in this race..none of my beeswax
It is or should be standard boilerplate language in any contract between contracting parties. The bond holders of Cap Cana had governing law of the state of New York in their contract.
But what of those individuals who have no contract and come as tourists and are assaulted or injured while in the DR.....they generally file suit against a Dominican entity or individual in their home country. And it works the other way as well.......Dominicans suing in federal court against a US entity.
With literally millions of tourists.....it happens more than you might think.

Now that we know that courts have already made a decision and the assets were seized on the behalf of Big Frank, we can only see if he or a new owner will do anything with the structure.
Hopefully it will be a place that frequently has live music. :cheeky:
More importantly at this point is, Training camp has begun for the NFL, Where the hell am I to watch my games this fall and winter?? Frank12???
I think he wants to open a non -alcohol vegetarian Restaurant, but he is not sure.
That's my concern as well...where and the hell am i going to watch football????
Matt Damon’s place in Sosua is my preferred location now. On Dr Rosen, across from MetroBus/ Texaco.
****e I rented a condo at Ocean One for a month so I wouldn't have a long stumble home from Rocky's Aqua

All very interesting reading here. But the best part was seeing the response from Meemselle. Glad you are still around. I miss your contributions.

And Rocky (from CT) can buy a place on Dr Rosen just a few doors down from the Pedro Clistante intersection and rent some rooms as well based upon the desires of some posters to go back in time.
