Celec seeks to block U.S. court order compelling executives to testify in Tampa

Ecuadorian state utility Celec has asked a Florida court to reject Progen's motion to compel its executives to testify in person in Tampa. The move signals ongoing legal friction in a cross-border dispute, with Celec resisting U.S. jurisdictional reach. The outcome could set a precedent for foreign state-owned entities' exposure to U.S. discovery.
