Decision in favor of Defendants
First Instance court decision   The court rejected the case and obligated the company to pay KD 20 as attorney fees.
Appeal court decision   The court ruled to accept the appeals in form and to reject them in subject and to uphold the first instance ruling and obligated the company to pay the expenses of those appeals and an amount of KD 20 as attorney’s fees.
Cassation Court Decision  
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.
