The Federal Supreme Court recently referred to the Court of Appeal a dispute between two companies over financial entitlements arising from a contract worth two million and 746 thousand dirhams, which confirmed that the verdict did not respond to the defendant's defense.

In detail, one company filed a lawsuit against another company, demanding that it be obliged to pay the amount of two million and 746 thousand and 650 dirhams, and its legal interest from the date of the claim until full payment.

She said that she had entered into a subcontracting contract with the defendant company to carry out the supply and installation of air conditioning works in the project in question, for 12.9 million dirhams, and that she carried out all the works approved by the consultant, but the defendant refused to pay the rest of its dues.

For its part, the defendant filed a counterclaim by requesting an expert in the case, pointing out that «the plaintiff committed technical errors in the implementation, and delayed, causing serious damage».

The Court of First Instance, after assigning an engineering expert, ordered the defendant to pay the plaintiff an amount of AED 1,607,000, with a delay interest of 5% from the date of filing the claim until full payment.

The Court of Appeal ruled the amendment of the judgment to make the amount of the sentence and two million 367 thousand dirhams, and to support it. The defendant did not accept the verdict, and she appealed against it, explaining that she stood before the Court of Appeal not to accept the lawsuit, to bring it from irrelevant, because the plaintiff was not a party to the contract of the contract in question, but another contracting company, which is the contract with it, an independent company "The claimant and the partners are different in the two companies, but the appeal judgment rejected this payment."

The Federal Supreme Court upheld the appeal of the company, explaining that the firm proved that the defendant had paid before the Court of Appeal not to accept the lawsuit, but that the appeal judgment concluded that the defendant was not obliged to pay the judgment.
