KCC 3494/2018

This case involved a personal injury against an insurance company and a company the claimant had purchased a car from as a result of a road traffic accident. The case had been prematurely filed as a criminal ruling against a third party was not yet final.

Background

A claimant filed a case against two companies and a defendant before the court. He requested the court to order the defendant and the first company (an insurance company) to pay him 15000 Dinars. He also requested the court to order the second company from which he had bought a car to pay 1000 Dinars. He said that he was injured in a car accident and that the car was insured by the insurance company at the time.

The court ruled that the defendant and the insurance company should pay the claimant compensation for the damage.

The insurance company appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court dismissed the appealed ruling and the case altogether.
