The High Civil Court rejected a lawsuit filed by a young man who demanded the eviction of his father from a villa that the latter had bought but was registered in the son’s name due to loan procedures that the defendant was paying in cash installments. Attorney Abdulrahman Al- Qari, representative of the father (the defendant), said that the latter wanted to provide adequate housing for his family of seven members.

The father decided to buy a villa from a friend of his and paid an advance of BD25,000. However, his pension did not allow him to obtain a ‘Mazaya’ housing loan, so he sought help from one of his sons (the plaintiff ) to complete the loan procedures, provided that he pays the monthly installments in cash to the son whose name the bank financing contract is registered in.

The son, however, filed a lawsuit against his father demanding that he be evicted from the house, given that he is the owner, according to the bank contract.
