Catchwords
Reconsideration - Timing - New evidence - Fraud - Sale of goods - Non-payment
This case initially involved non-payment for purchased goods. The key issue was whether a reconsideration was possible after documents proving fraud were found. The required time limit for the request was important.
Background
This case involved a commercial dispute between two companies, one manufactured plastic products and the other was in the chemical industry. The claimant company delivered plastic containers to the defendant company but alleged the defendant failed to pay the agreed price of 472,973 Saudi riyals. The dispute centred on whether the defendant had fully discharged its payment obligations and whether any additional claims could be made by the claimant beyond the amounts already acknowledged.
