Restaurant chain to pay firm BD64,000 after breaching contract
The High Administrative Court has ordered a restaurant chain to pay BD64,000 to a construction company, which was allegedly not paid after performing maintenance work at its outlets.
The plaintiff is said to have been assigned by the company operating a group of restaurants to carry out various tasks to renovate two of its restaurants under a contract worth more than BD100,000.
However, upon the completion of work, it only paid BD42,200, prompting the construction company to issue a warning for the unsettled payments before filing a lawsuit against it.
The court stated in its judgment that “the first article of the Evidence Act states that the creditor has to prove the obligation, and the debtor must prove that the contract was disposed of, and that the contract is the law of the contracting parties”.
