KCC 3145/2019

This case involved a tenant who had been ordered to vacate a property and pay outstanding rent. A key issue was whether the ruling could be reconsidered as it involved a forged tenancy agreement.

Background

A tenant filed a case against a landlord before the court. He requested the court to dismiss a previous ruling issued against him. He said that the ruling had ordered him to vacate the rented property and pay the outstanding rent of 2170 Dinars. He said that he appealed the ruling at the time, but the court upheld the appealed ruling although the ruling was established based on a forged tenancy agreement. He said that he had the right to make a plea before the court for reconsideration.

The court ruled that the tenant did not have the right to make a plea against the ruling.

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

The tenant appealed the ruling before the court of cassation. The Public Prosecutor also appealed the ruling before the court of cassation and said that the tenant’s appeal was invalid.
