Bahrain: BD13,597 Payout For Former Partner Over Unpaid Profits
A commercial company has been ordered to pay BD13,597 to a former business partner following a civil court ruling over unpaid profits and an unpaid board allowance. The High Civil Court found that the claimant, once a partner alongside the second and third defendants, had not received his share of company profits from 2019 through 2023. Financial records, signed off and accepted in court, showed the firm had made money during those years. Monthly allowance Lawyer Sarah Fouad Atiq, acting on behalf of the claimant, told the court that a monthly allowance had also been agreed upon by the board for each partner. Her client, she argued, had been left out of those payments. Expert financial reports presented during the hearings confirmed the company had turned a profit. The court also noted that money had been moved to another firm, which, in its view, disrupted the proper distribution of earnings. On that basis, the court ruled that the claimant was owed BD13,597. The company was also ordered to cover court charges, legal fees, and the cost of expert reports.

Bahrain: Seizure No Excuse, Court Awards BD13,374 In Crash Compensation
Court orders compensation to woman injured in collision Driver previously found guilty and jailed for one month The Fourth Civil Court has ordered an insurance company and its policyholder to jointly pay BD13,374 in compensation to a woman who suffered severe injuries in a traffic accident caused by the insured driver. The plaintiff, a woman in her fifties, sustained multiple injuries in the crash, including several fractured ribs, spinal damage, a broken pelvis, and soft tissue injuries to her right leg. Medical evaluations confirmed she had sustained a 20% permanent disability. Represented by lawyer Sahar Nabil, the woman argued that the accident was caused by the driver's negligence and failure to adhere to road safety regulations. A criminal court had previously convicted the driver and sentenced him to one month in prison. In defence, the driver claimed he had suffered a seizure and lost consciousness at the time of the crash, invoking force majeure to avoid liability. However, the court dismissed the argument, ruling that the driver was already aware of his medical condition and had a responsibility to avoid endangering others. The court concluded that the medical episode was not unforeseeable and held both the driver and the insurance company accountable for the resulting injuries and damages. In its final verdict, the court awarded BD13,374 to the plaintiff, including 3% legal interest from the date of filing until full payment. The defendants were also ordered to cover all court fees and legal expenses.

Photos taken before any work began showed the damage was already in place.A civil court agreed with the ministry's ruled there was nothing in the case papers to suggest the house had been harmed by the court determined that the damage had appeared long before the project with the verdict, the claimants appealed, challenging the ministry's expert findings and standing by their own. No Reason to Overturn Verdict However, the High Civil Appeals Court saw no reason to change course. It found that the cracks had been caused by old, rusted reinforcement bars. Years of rising damp had swollen the steel, splitting the concrete and leaving long cracks through the walls. The judges also pointed out that the garage floor level had been set years earlier by the homeowners themselves. The ministry had maintained that level when repaving the road and installing a new sewage pipe. Photographic Evidence Further photographs taken before the contractor started digging showed that the same cracks were already there. The court accepted the appeal in form but rejected it on factual grounds. It upheld the original ruling and ordered the claimants to pay court fees, along with BD50 for legal costs.
