SCA 1570/2019
This case involved money paid for a share in a restaurant. A key point was the partnership contract should be dismissed.
Background
A claimant filed a case against a company before the court. He requested the court to order the company to pay him 350000 Riyals. He said that he had paid this amount to the company as a share in a restaurant's capital and that the company had failed to commit to its obligations as stipulated by the contract.
The company requested the court to suspend the consideration of the case until the case they had filed against the previous owner of the restaurant was settled.
Decision
The court ruled that the partnership contract between the two parties should be dismissed and that the company should pay the claimant 350000 Riyals.
The company appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. They said that they paid the claimant 15000 Riyals as profits. The claimant admitted this claim.
The court repealed the ruling and ruled that the company should pay the claimant 335000 Riyals and that the partnership contract should be dismissed.
