Evidence - Criminal Case - Civil Case - Car Rental
This case involved non-payment for car rental. A key issue was whether there could be a request to add documents as evidence which showed the defendant had been found guilty in a criminal case on this matter.
Background
A claimant filed a claim with the Minor Civil Court requesting the defendant pay 3029,740 Dinars because the claimant which was a car rental company had rented five cars to the defendant but the latter failed to pay for them.
The court issued a ruling requesting the defendant to pay the requested amount. The defendant appealed the ruling before the High Court of Appeal which issued a ruling revoking the appealed ruling and dismissing the case.
