A claimant filed a case against a defendant before the court. He requested the court to order the defendant to pay him 250000 Riyals. He said that the defendant had rented a crane from him and failed to pay the rent.

The defendant admitted the claimant's claims but he said that the case had already been settled previously.

The court said that the case documents revealed that the case had been considered and settled by the commercial court previously. The court said that the case therefore cannot be considered against according to Article 200 of Saudi Arabia Cabinet Decision No. 11/1435,

The court dismissed the case.

The Court of Appeal – Dammam upheld the ruling based on the same grounds.
