SCA 1233/2019

This case involved goods which had bee bought on instalments but the debt had been rescheduled. A key issue was the impact of the debtor's decision to stop paying because the company refused to supply him with more goods.

Background

He said that the company rescheduled the debt so he could pay 5000 Riyals per month. He said that he paid some of the instalments but he then stopped because the company refused to supply him with additional appliances. He requested the court to order the company to pay him 8114192 Riyals.

Decision

The company said that the claimant had failed to pay the debt and he still owed an amount of money.

The court dismissed the case.

The claimant appealed the ruling before the court of appeal.

The court dismissed the appeal and upheld the appealed ruling.
