BCC 1146/2019

This case involved claims against an insurance company by two individuals who had been injured in a car accident. A key issue was what was the statute of limitations and whether it should not begin until their condition had settled.

Background

Two claimants filed a case against an insurance company before the court. They requested the court to order the company to pay them 25000 Dinars as compensation. They said that they had been injured in a car accident and that the car was insured by the company at the time.

The court dismissed the case due to the statute of limitations.

The claimants appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court dismissed the appealed ruling and ruled that the company should pay the claimants 15000 Dinars and 500 Dinars respectively.
