The matter
Issue:
The issue was whether the Saudi company could establish its financial entitlement before the Bahraini courts against a foreign company based in Bahrain, using a range of commercial documents, including purchase orders, invoices, correspondence, and partial payments, ultimately determining the final outstanding balance and pursuing it through the courts.
Challenge:
The challenge was to convert a cross-border commercial file containing multiple documents and financial transactions into a clear, coherent, and provable legal claim before a court in another country. This involved arranging the facts chronologically and financially, connecting the evidence, accurately determining the amount due, and coordinating with local counsel to ensure that the case was presented in a strong and organized manner.
Work performed
CounselO reviewed the commercial dispute and analyzed its supporting documents, then reorganized the facts and documents chronologically and financially to demonstrate the underlying commercial relationship, the work performed, the amounts paid, and the remaining balance. CounselO also developed an evidence-based claims strategy, identified the key documents, and coordinated with the claimant’s local counsel in Bahrain to support the presentation of the case before the court until judgment was issued in favor of the Saudi company.
Outcome or value delivered
Outcome:
The proceedings concluded with a judgment in favor of the Saudi company. The court ordered the defendant foreign company to pay SAR 1,115,073, or its equivalent in Bahraini dinars, together with late-payment interest at 2% per annum from the date the claim was filed until payment in full, in addition to costs and the attorneys’ fees and charges awarded by the judgment.
Value Delivered:
CounselO provided practical value by converting a cross-border commercial file containing extensive documents, invoices, and correspondence into an organized and provable legal claim. This value included analyzing the commercial relationship, arranging the facts and documents chronologically and financially, accurately determining the outstanding balance, highlighting the decisive evidence, and developing a clear claims strategy that supported local counsel until judgment was issued.
