Court Cases

Sucesión de Eugenia Cruz González v. Administración de Terrenos de Puerto Rico (KLAN 2022-00865) is an appeal filed by a Vieques family who alleges a violation of their due process and property rights. The family argued that they had lived on the land for over seven decades and that the trial court made procedural errors by ruling against them and ordering their eviction. The family's appeal was successful, as the Court of Appeals reversed the original judgment. The Puerto Rico Supreme Court denied the government's petition to review the case. The case is currently in the discovery stage.
