SCA 1875/2019
This case involved failure to commit to a contract on the investment of capital in a company. A key issue was whether after the reconsideration of a case it could be discussed as it was filed against an irrelevant party.
Background
A claimant filed a case against a company before the court. He requested the court to order the company to pay 6424695 Riyals. He said that he had paid this amount as a share in the company's capital. He said that the company, however, failed to commit to its obligations in accordance with the agreed contract.
Decision
The court ruled that the company should pay the claimant the mentioned amount.
The company made a plea to the elementary court requesting the reconsideration of the case. The court accepted the plea and repealed the appealed ruling. The court dismissed the case because it was filed against an irrelevant party.
The claimant appealed the ruling before the court of appeal.
The court dismissed the appeal and upheld the appealed ruling
