Financial Impact | Can’t be assessed at the moment as the company will challenge this decision in the court of cassation. There was no judgment issued to evict the company from Sulaibiyah site related to contract No. (60), and if the Public Authority for Industry filed an eviction lawsuit and the court ruled its final judgement to evict the company and the decision was implemented, this will result in depriving the company of revenues from this site. |
