SCA 281/2019

This case involved an investment agreement which had been breached. The case was dismissed as the defendant took the oath that they had not received the money as part of a partnership agreement.

Background

A claimant filed a case against a defendant before the court. He requested the court to order the defendant to pay 150000 Riyals. He said that he had paid this amount to the defendant in order to establish a company. He said that the defendant had failed to commit to his obligations.

Decision

The court said that the case documents had revealed that the claimant had failed to prove his claims. The court said that the claimant had asked the defendant to take the oath in order to deny his claims. The court said that the defendant took that oath that he had not received the mentioned amount as a part of an agreement on partnership in a company.

The court dismissed the case.

The court of appeal upheld the ruling based on the same grounds.
