KCC 59/2001

This case involved the status of documents used as evidence of an agreement for a joint property owner to do maintenance work on a property.

Background

A claimant filed a case against defendants before the court. He requested the court to order the defendants to pay 7333 Dinars. He said that he, along with the defendants, owned a property. He said that the partners had agreed he would do maintenance work on the property. He said that he paid 43660 Dinars for the work and that he received 29000 Dinars from the other owners. He said that the defendants had failed to pay the remaining value.

The court ruled that the defendants should pay the amount.

The defendants appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court dismissed the appealed ruling and dismissed the case.

The claimant appealed the ruling before the court of cassation. He said in his grounds of appeal that the appealed ruling had insufficient evidence of causation. He said that the court had dismissed the case and ignored two documents in which the defendants admitted that he paid the costs of the maintenance work.
