This case involved the breach of a contract for water supply and the validity of evidence.
Background

The claimant company requested that the defendant company be ordered to pay for water supplied, amounting to 440,073.70 SAR, in addition to 75,000 SAR in legal fees. The claim arose from the defendant’s alleged failure to settle the contractual obligations for water provision. The central issues revolved around contractual performance, proof of delivery and payment, and the application of evidentiary standards in commercial disputes. The claimant relied on purchase orders, invoices, electronic correspondence, and payment transfers as evidence to substantiate the claim, while the defendant contested the validity of the evidence and the legal basis of the claim.
