A federal judge awarded $31 million to Neumann Gruppe USA Inc. after CLR Roasters failed to deliver green coffee from Nicaragua. The case began in December 2022 with claims of $21.7 million in advance payments made for the coffee, based on 49 purchase orders. H&H Coffee Investments LLC, owned by Alain Piedra Hernandez, was involved in guaranteeing CLR's obligations but contended the guarantee was unenforceable. The judge found the defendant's testimony largely not credible, leading to the judgment.
The court determined that Neumann Gruppe USA Inc. was owed $31 million in damages due to the failure of CLR Roasters to deliver contracted green coffee shipments.
H&H Coffee Investments LLC, owned by Alain Piedra Hernandez, guaranteed CLR’s contract obligations, but argued that the guaranty was unenforceable.
