Appeal – Litigation Procedure – Inheritance – Property Rental – Utility – Salary
This case involved the non-payment of utilities and staff salary by a party who had rented a hotel but failed to pay these amounts. A key issue was whether the correct procedure had been used to add the claimants who were heirs into the litigation.
Background
A company filed a case against a defendant before the civil court requesting the defendant to pay an amount of money and interest. The company said that the defendant had rented a hotel and that he failed to pay the employees' wages and electricity bills. The company said that it had paid the bills and the wages.
The court refused to consider the case because it was previously settled.
The company appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court dismissed the appeal because the company was not a party in the appealed ruling that was issued to the heirs' interest.
