KCC 989/2016

This case involved a failure to pay for raw materials. A key point was suitable evidence of payment had been provided.

Background

A company filed a case against a defendant before the court. The company requested the court to order the defendant to pay 751921 Dinars. The company said that they had sold raw materials to the defendant but they failed to pay their value.

The court ruled that the defendant should pay the company the amount.

The defendant appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court upheld the appealed ruling.

The defendant appealed the ruling before the court of cassation. He said in his grounds of appeal that the ruling had erred in the application of law. He said that he had provided the court with a document that confirmed the payment of the amount.

The court said that this argument was valid. The court said that the document provided by the defendant confirmed that he had paid the mentioned amount to the company.

Decision

The court repealed the appealed ruling and dismissed the appealed ruling and the case altogether.
