SCA 3200/2016

This case involved an unpaid contracted amount for building a factory. A key issue was whether there was evidence that the contract was simulated.

Background

A claimant filed a case against a defendant before the court. He requested the court to order the defendant to pay him 25000 Riyals. He said that he had installed a factory for the defendant and he failed to pay the full contracted amount. The claimant provided the court with documents that proved his claims.

The defendant said that the contract signed between the two parties was a simulated one. The defendant failed to prove his claim.

Decision

The court ruled that the defendant should pay the claimant the mentioned amount.

The defendant appealed the ruling before the court of appeal.

The court dismissed the appeal and upheld the appealed ruling.
