The Supreme Court of Justice denied the appeal regarding the suspension of the main civil instance. The court held that suspension is permissible only if a pending prejudicial judgment could eliminate the cause of action for the current case. Since the potential extinction of the underlying commercial obligations was not established as a sufficient ground for suspension, the request was rejected.
