Payment of Debt – Appointment of Expert – Dues
A case involved a dispute between a claimant and defendant over the payment of the remaining value of a debt.
Background
A claimant filed a claim against a defendant requesting that the court order it to pay the remaining value of a debt.
The court ruled that the defendant pay the claimant 282800 Emirate Dirhams.
The defendant appealed and the appeal court upheld the ruling.
The defendant appealed by cassation.
Decision
The court of cassation repealed the ruling and assigned a committee of experts to review the case documents.
The committee stated that the case documents included no evidence that the defendant had already paid the mentioned debt and the defendant had not discounted any amounts from the claimant's dues.
The court therefore dismissed the appeal.
