SCA 4530398748/2024
This case involved the validity of using a handover record to confirm the correctness and completeness of construction work. On appeal it was also confirmed other objections by the defendant could be considered in separate legal action.
Background
This case concerned a commercial dispute between two companies over the supply and installation of elevators, escalators, and moving walkways. The claimant company requested the court to oblige the defendant to pay 540,500 Saudi Riyals, which represented the value of work completed under a contractual agreement. The dispute primarily revolved around the correctness and completeness of the work delivered, as the defendant contesting the claim on the basis that the first-degree court had relied on a handover record that allegedly did not reflect the actual completion of the work.
