KCC 862/2008
This case involved whether a defendant who had rented a cold storage should pay rent for the period after which they had vacated it when they had returned the keys to the landlord and they had not objected to that.
Background
A company filed a case against a defendant before the court. The company requested the court to order the defendant to pay an amount of money. The company claimed that the defendant had rented fridges from the company in order to store fruit and vegetable but he then left the rented place and failed to pay the rent.
The court ruled that the defendant should pay the company 44650 Dinars.
The defendant appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court dismissed the appealed ruling and ruled that the defendant should pay the company 14110 Dinars.
The defendant appealed the ruling before the court of cassation. He said in his grounds of appeal that the the appealed ruling had erred in the application of law. He said that the court violated the law by ordering him to pay the value of rent.
