Bahrain: Pharmacy Ordered to Pay BD3,100 Over Unpaid Medical Supplies
The Commercial Court was told the company, represented by lawyer Somaya Abdulla, had supplied the pharmacy with medicines and equipment worth BD7,559 under a credit arrangement. Seven cheques were paid.
The eighth was rejected by the bank due to the mismatch. The pharmacy refused to issue a new one.
After repeated attempts to settle the matter were ignored, the supplier took the case to court.
To make its case, the company produced the credit agreement, signed and stamped by someone tied to the pharmacy, along with invoices showing what had been supplied. These bore signatures and stamps said to be from people acting for the pharmacy.
The court said the documents stacked up and confirmed that the goods had been delivered and received.
With BD3,140.767 still unpaid, it ruled in the company's favour. A second defendant had signed the same agreement as guarantor.

Bahrain: Court Orders Dealer To Repay BD6,800 After Car Sale Dispute
A car buyer has been cleared of liability after the High Civil Appeals Court found that the money paid for the vehicle had gone to the intermediary who arranged the deal, rather than to the seller. The court ordered the intermediary to repay BD5,700 to the seller, along with BD1,100 that had been transferred to his wife's bank account. He was also instructed to cover legal costs and the seller's lawyer's fees. The court confirmed that the sales contract was valid and that the car had not been misappropriated. According to lawyer Nehad Al Seraj, who represented the seller, her client had handed over the car to a trader to help find a buyer. The intermediary found someone willing to purchase the vehicle and a price ofBD 6,400 was agreed. The buyer paid the full amount to the intermediary and took possession of the car. However, the seller received nothing. The intermediary claimed he would provide a different car instead and asked the seller to transfer an additional BD1,100 to his wife's bank account. No replacement was delivered. After waiting in vain and receiving repeated excuses, the seller filed a complaint at the police station. During questioning, the intermediary admitted he had received the full amount from the buyer, including the BD1,100 transferred to his wife's account. The seller then filed a civil case against the buyer, the intermediary and the intermediary's wife, requesting cancellation of the sale and the return of all amounts paid. The lower court dismissed the case. The Appeals Court reviewed the police report, which confirmed the intermediary's confession.

Tenant ordered to pay BD2,200 after lease transfer ruled invalid
A shop handover done on paper but not in writing has left a former tenant with a BD2,200 rent bill, after judges ruled her ties to the premises had never been properly cut. The dispute centred on a commercial unit in Jurdab, let for BD550 a month. The landlord brought a claim for BD3,850 in unpaid rent, covering several months. The tenant argued she had sold the business and handed over the premises to another party. Arrangement She said the new occupant had agreed to cover the rent going forward, and that the landlord had accepted the arrangement. Papers submitted included a business sale agreement, a debt note, a rent receipt, and a bank transfer slip. The court, however, heard that no written consent had been given for the transfer, and no formal notice had been served. The landlord denied any agreement, verbal or otherwise, to pass the lease on. Judges pointed to Bahrain's tenancy law, which requires written approval from landlords before a lease can be reassigned. Original lease Without it, the original lease remains in force. A request to add the alleged new tenant to the case was rejected. The court said the claimant was free to pursue a separate claim but found the original tenant remained liable. Demand It accepted that rent for two of the claimed months had already been paid and threw out the demand for one further month on the grounds that the rent was not yet due when the case was brought. The court ordered the tenant to pay BD2,200 for the remainder. She was also ordered to pay BD30 in legal costs, along with BD101.420 in court expenses and BD10 in execution fees.
