KCC 479/2003

A case involved a dispute between a claimant and defendant over the payment of his severance pay.

Background

A claimant filed a case against a defendant requesting that the court order it to pay his severance pay.

The court ruled that the claimant pay the defendant 34057.500 Dinars.

The defendant appealed and the appeal court upheld the ruling.

The defendant appealed by cassation.

Decision

Before the cassation court the defendant argued that the ruling had contradicted material documentary evidence as the court had ruled that the defendant pay the claimant the value of severance pay without requesting him to provide documents which revealed his original nationality.

The court held that this argument was invalid as the court has the authority to consider all aspects of a case and evaluate the evidence in order to establish its ruling.

The court therefore dismissed the appeal.
