How we help with power-of-attorney misuse, rejection or scope dispute

  • Evidence and document review

    Our review covers power of attorney, disputed transaction, rejection notice, amendments or revocation and communications with the recipient. We identify what supports your position and what needs clarification or further evidence.

  • Is a general power of attorney enough for the intended transaction?

    Articles 482–484 of the Civil Transactions Law reject wording that does not identify the type of legal act. Acts outside administration require a special authority specifying the type of act and associated dealings. Match the proposed sale, settlement or other transaction to the actual authority; notarisation does not expand the wording. Compare the disputed act with the complete authority, amendments and any revocation record. Identify what the recipient knew and the reason for rejection or alleged misuse. A document-format problem and an unauthorised transaction require different assessment.

How a Court Dismissed a Major Financial Claim Despite Transfers

A client faced a substantial financial claim based on bank transfers and an accounting report that the company treated as evidence of its entitlement. CounselO Legal rebuilt the matter legally and financially, linking the transfers to operational documents and a financial release, which led to the claim being dismissed in full and established that the client had no outstanding liability.

CounselO Legal Reduces Commercial Commission Claim by 83%

CounselO Legal redirected a SAR 3.48 million commercial commission dispute into a limited liability of only SAR 584,000 by dissecting the undertaking letter and tying the commission to amounts actually received rather than the project’s total value. Although the underlying entitlement was established, part of the percentage was excluded because the advance-payment condition was not met, reducing the claim by more than 83%, with the outcome upheld on appeal.

How CounselO Legal Reduced a SAR 500,000 Claim to SAR 227,000

CounselO Legal was presented with a commercial claim in which the claimant sought SAR 500,000. After reviewing the case and analysing the documents, CounselO Legal developed a defence strategy based on breaking down the claim and separating established amounts from compensation and damages requiring independent proof. In cooperation with the defendant’s legal representative, the case concluded with a judgment awarding only SAR 227,000—reducing the claim by SAR 273,000, or approximately 54.6%. The outcome was subsequently upheld on appeal.
