Background

An insurance company filed a case against a defendant requesting that the court order the defendant to pay an amount of money. The insurance company stated that a man had died in a car accident and the defendant was the driver. The company stated that it had paid the compensation value to the heirs of the deceased man.

The court ruled that the defendant pay the insurance company 10000 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 insufficient evidence of causation and had violated his right in defence as the court ignored his request to add the owner of the car to the case.
