Paquera ferry operators lose battle in supreme court
By the A.M. Costa Rica staff



The Sala I of the Corte Suprema de Justicia put the Ferry Peninsula out of business Thursday.



The Poder Judicial reported that the high court, which deals in civil
matters, agreed to bar the  Asociación de Desarrollo
Integral de Paquera from running its ferry.



The association said this would affect the income for 60 families in
Paquera. It estimated it would lose 46 million colons (about $92,000) a
month.


Naviera Tambor sought the injunction. The company owners and operates
two ferries, Tambor I and Tambor II, between Puntarenas and Paquera.
