A claimant filed a case against a defendant before the court. He requested the court to order the defendant to pay him the amount of money he owed. He said that he had brokered a deal for the defendant with a company and that the defendant failed to pay him the remaining value of the contract.

The court considered the documents of the case. The court said that the commercial court in the Board of Grievances considered disputes between the merchants according to Article 443 of Saudi Arabia Royal Decree No. M32/1350. The court said that the claimant was not a merchant according to Article 1 of Saudi Arabia Royal Decree No. M32/1350.

The court said that the consideration of the case did not fall under its jurisdiction.

The court of appeal upheld the ruling.
