A landlord filed a case against a tenant before the court. They requested the court to order the tenant to pay 8460 Dinars for the local council's fees.

The court dismissed the case.

The landlord appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court upheld the appealed ruling.

The landlord appealed the ruling before the court of cassation. They said in their grounds of appeal that the appealed ruling had erred in the application of law. They said that the court dismissed the case on the grounds that the tenancy agreement lacked the signature of the tenant though they provided the court with the electricity and water bills.

The court said that this argument was valid. The court said that Article No. 43, 44, 45, 46, 47 of the Executive Appendix of the Local Council stipulated the occupier of a property should be responsible for paying utility bills.

The court repealed the ruling.
