SCA 4530359947/2024

This case involved a lease to own contract for vehicles, and if all necessary payments had been made. A key point was a failure to provide evidence of the outstanding entitlement. The delay in taking legal action was also relevant.

Background

This case involved a commercial dispute over the payment of remaining rental fees for vehicles leased under a contract with an option to buy. The claimant, a commercial investment company, sought to compel the defendant, a trading establishment, to pay an outstanding amount of 135,164 SAR for Nissan vehicles. The claimant asserted that the vehicles remained in its ownership and that the defendant had failed to complete payment for the lease-to-own agreement. The dispute revolved around the interpretation and enforcement of lease-to-own contracts and the conditions for transferring ownership under such arrangements.
