The claimant sought a 3% commission on a project valued at SAR 116 million. The defendant had issued and stamped the undertaking, making a blanket denial of the obligation risky. The review therefore examined the separate conditions: 1% depended on an advance payment that had not occurred, while 2% was tied to amounts actually received rather than the entire project value.
CounselO reviewed the undertaking and associated financial records, then organised the defence around entitlement and calculation. Working with the legal representative, the team examined payment certificates, the absence of an advance payment and the amounts actually collected. This separated acknowledgement of the underlying undertaking from acceptance of the claimant’s calculation.
The claim fell from SAR 3,480,000 to SAR 584,131: a reduction of SAR 2,895,869, approximately 83.2%. The published case account records that the judgment was upheld on appeal. The work’s value lay in identifying the conditions for each part of the commission and limiting the calculation to the receipts established in the file. This result concerns the particular case and does not establish a universal commission rule.
The attached CounselO case study reports a SAR 3,480,000 claim and a SAR 584,131 award. Its statement that the judgment was affirmed on appeal is expressly based on what the client reported. The reduction describes the amount claimed compared with the reported award, rather than money collected.
