A woman failed to pay a sum of money to an interior designer she had agreed with to carry out the decoration and interior design work for the restaurant she owned, despite her repeated promises to pay, which prompted the interior designer to file a lawsuit against her to urge her to pay her the remainder of the value of the completed work.
The details indicate, according to what lawyer Salman Al-Dosari reported, that his client, the plaintiff, who specializes in completing decoration works, filed her lawsuit against the defendants, the restaurant and its owner, in which she demanded that they be obliged to pay her an amount of 7,602 dinars, which is the value of her remaining work that she completed in the restaurant owned by the defendant. It is also obligated to pay an amount of 3,000 dinars, the value of compensation for its delay in paying the amount of the work it carried out, in addition to an amount of 500 dinars for the engineering expert’s fees.
On the basis of the statement that the defendant is the owner of a restaurant and she agreed with the plaintiff to carry out the decoration and interior design work at the restaurant’s headquarters, and as a result of that agreement, the plaintiff completed the decoration and interior design work in the restaurant in accordance with the works agreed upon between the two parties to the lawsuit.
Although the plaintiff completed the agreed-upon decoration and interior design work, the restaurant owner failed to pay the plaintiff the value of the remainder of the completed design work, which prompted her to appoint an engineering expert to estimate the value of the executed works, which ended with the plaintiff being entitled to an amount of 7,602 dinars.
Al-Dosari stated that there were friendly attempts to urge the defendant restaurant owner to pay her remaining value of the completed work, but she did not commit to paying the amount despite her promise to the plaintiff to pay, and the existence of evidence acknowledging the amount of the completed design work via WhatsApp correspondence between the two parties, which confirms The plaintiff’s attempts with the restaurant owner to pay the amount for the completed design work, which prompted the plaintiff to file her lawsuit to jointly oblige the restaurant defendant and its owner to pay her the amount of the claim followed by the amount of compensation.
The court deliberated on the case received in the minutes of its sessions, in which both parties were represented by their representatives, given the above, and the plaintiff had filed her lawsuit seeking a ruling on her requests, due to the existence of an oral agreement between her and the defendant, the owner of the restaurant, for the plaintiff to carry out the decoration and interior design work for a workplace. The restaurant, and what was established by the court from reviewing the messages between the two parties to the dispute via the WhatsApp program was that the plaintiff carried out the agreed-upon contracting work for the benefit of the restaurant without receiving the remaining amount for her.
Whereas this was the case, and it was stipulated in the first article of the Evidence Law that the creditor must prove the obligation and the debtor must prove its disposal, and since it is stipulated in the text of Article 584 of the Civil Code that a contract is a contract under which one party undertakes to perform work for the other party in exchange for compensation without As a subsidiary of him, and since the owner of the restaurant reported that she had no money to pay the salaries of the employees and the restaurant’s rent, she asked the plaintiff to know the amount of the claim so that she could deposit it in the bankruptcy list, and she closed the restaurant without paying the amount, which the court believed was that the owner of the restaurant was preoccupied with the amount of the claim, and accordingly the court ruled. By obliging the restaurant owner to pay the plaintiff the claim amount of 7,602 dinars, in addition to 600 dinars in compensation for the delay in delivering the amount, and 300 dinars for the engineering expert’s fees. The court also obligated her to pay the fees and expenses of the lawsuit.
