SCA 2134/2019
The initial dispute involved amounts due to a partner leaving a partnership. A key issue was whether it was possible to make a final clearance when the case had been previously settled.
Background
A claimant filed a case against a defendant before the court. He requested the court to make a final clearance between the two parties on their partnership in a company. He said that the defendant had requested the exit from the company and received a payment order of 3653275 Riyals.
The defendant said that the case was previously settled and that the company had refused to appoint an expert in order to consider the dispute at the time.
Decision
The court decided not to consider the case because it was previously settled.
The claimant appealed the ruling before the court of appeal.
The court dismissed the appeal and upheld the appealed ruling.
