Holders of bonds from Puerto Rico's Government Development Bank are suing to challenge aspects of a debt-moratorium law that island officials say is crucial to maintaining essential services. The federal lawsuit names Puerto Rico's Governor and Treasury Secretary as well as an unidentified bank receiver. It argues that amendments give preferential treatment to local creditors at the expense of others in violation of American and Puerto Rican law.
