Supreme Court of Puerto Rico
Edgard Cordero Vélez v. Municipio De Guánica Y Otros
February 12, 20072007 TSPR 24
Summary
The Supreme Court of Puerto Rico held that no contract was formed between Edward Cordero Vélez and the Municipality of Guánica for the 2001‑2002 fuel supply auction because the statutory requirements for written adjudication and contract execution were not satisfied, and therefore dismissed the plaintiff’s breach‑of‑contract and damages claim. The Court also reversed the appellate order that had required the municipality to execute a written contract, emphasizing strict compliance with municipal procurement statutes.
