KCC 585/2002

This case involved a request for a debt plus interest. It was wrongly argued the court had based its decision wrongly on an expert report which the company did not agree with. This was irrelevant as the fact the first company had paid the money to the second company, did not mean it should not pay the debt to the claimant.

Background

A claimant filed a case against a company and requested the court to order the company to pay an amount of money and legal interest.

During the consideration of the case, a company intervened in the case and requested the court order the company to pay 5001 Dinars.

The court rejected the two cases.

The claimant appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court abandoned the appealed ruling and ruled the first company should pay the claimant 13732.994 Dinars and 7% annual interest.

The two companies appealed the ruling before the court of cassation and stated in their grounds of appeal that the ruling had erred in the application of law and stated that the court had established its ruling based on an expert report although they objected to its conclusions.
