Payment of Salaries – Informing with Case Documents – Existence of Dispute
A case involved a dispute between an employee and a shop owner over the payment of his salaries.
Background
An employee filed a case against a shop owner requesting that the court order the owner to pay his salaries.
The court rejected the case.
The employee appealed and the appeal court ruled that the owner pay the employee 7227.956 Dinars.
The owner appealed by cassation.
Decision
Before the cassation court the owner argued that the ruling had erred in the application of law as he was not informed with the case documents until the elementary ruling had been issued and thus the dispute did not exist.
The court held that this argument was invalid as the case documents revealed that the owner had been informed.
The court therefore dismissed the appeal.
