The High Commercial Court has rejected a food trading company’s claim against one of its partners and former executive director and another company, seeking payments and compensation linked to a land transaction, shop rentals and damage to a company-owned vehicle. The company had also alleged that the former executive set up a competing business and recruited two of its employees while assigning them tasks linked to his personal interests.

The company said its general assembly had removed the former executive from his position before filing the case. Among its claims was a BD10,000 payment related to a land deal. The court found that the company was not entitled to recover the amount from the defendants, noting that the second defendant had acted only as an intermediary in an agreement between the claimant and another person.

The court also considered witness testimony concerning the rental arrangements for two shops whose rent had been paid by the claimant company. It ultimately dismissed the case, finding that the company was not entitled to the payments or compensation it had sought from the defendants.
