This case involved whether it was possible to amend a claim which had been put before Bahrain Chamber for Settling Economic, Financial and Investment Disputes. The claimant was in financial administration.
Background
A company filed a claim before the Bahrain Chamber for Settling Economic, Financial and Investment Disputes against the defendants asking them to pay 1.575.202.002 USD plus interest because the claimant was a financial enterprise which had been placed under the financial administration pursuant to a decision by the Central Bank due to its insolvency. The defendants had signed three contracts so the first defendant could provide the claimant with clients to borrow from it and supervise the documents of these loans. However the claimant found out that the clients were presumptive and did not exist and that the first defendant took the amount as loans to the clients.
The chamber issued a ruling requesting the defendants to pay the claimant the requested amount plus interest of 1% annually.
