KCC 507/2001

This case involved a request for experts to be appointed to calculate how much money a director of a company had seized from the company. The case was rejected as there was insufficient proof the director had seized the assets.

Background

The claimants filed a case against a defendant and a company and requested the court to appoint an expert to determine violations made by the defendant when he was the chief of the board of directors. The claimants then amended their requests and requested the court to order the defendant to pay the company an amount of money.

The court ruled that the defendant should pay the company 557988 Dinars.

The defendant and the company appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court rejected the appeal made by the defendant and stated the company had no right to appeal the ruling.

Decision

The defendant appealed the ruling before the court of cassation.

The court of cassation repealed the ruling and appointed experts in order to consider the case documents.

The court then stated that the claim that the defendant had seized the company assets for himself was without proof.
