FEDERAL COURT OF APPEALS ON ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS - CHAMBER V
29563/2013
Grupo Clarín S.A. v. CNV - Resol 17131/13 (File No. 737/13)
Buenos Aires, 20 May 2014.- WLC
WHEREAS:
[Recitals I to V intentionally omitted]
VI.- [First paragraph of recital VI intentionally omitted]
Consequently, given the request of claimant in its presentation of page 1036, in the first place we must point out that the Court understands that the factual circumstances that were pondered by the Chamber in the injunction that was granted at the time in this litigation remain unchanged. We must recall that, even though it is true that injuctions are of a provisional nature and may change in face of a change in the circumstances that motivated their request (Sections 202 and 203 of the National Code on Civil and Commercial Procedures), we note that such change did not occur in this litigation.
In consequence, in exercise of the powers vested [on this Court] by Section 5º, paragraph 3rd of Law No. 26,854, we hereby order the extension for a term of SIX months of the injunction that was originally granted.
All of which is ALSO SO DECIDED.-
