P.R. Laws tit. 5, § 4629
For purposes of obtaining a remedy, any member-owner who is object of any type of measure or action by part of the cooperative and who is not satisfied with said measure or action may challenge the determinations made through the internal institutional procedures of the cooperative. The internal procedures of the cooperative for the resolution of controversies shall be exhausted with respect to any controversy that should be addressed by these means. In any controversy which may arise between member-owners, residents, or both, in a member-owner cooperative which is originated or based upon, or in which a legitimate cooperative movement controversy, is involved, the courts shall refrain from intervening in the resolution and adjudication of such issues, unless it is shown that the intervention of the court is necessary to avoid irreparable damages because the internal procedures of the cooperative would be ineffective or inoperative. This provision shall not be construed in such a manner that it interferes with the duty of the courts of justice to adjudicate controversies for the good civil or criminal order of our society, nor with their constitutional mandate to resolve the issues that are brought before them.
