The High Civil Court ordered employers of a healthcare institution to pay BD10,000 towards unsettled dues to their ex-employee. The verdict came in a case filed by a former employee against two partners, who are also facing accusations of mismanagement of the healthcare establishment. However, the court found that the establishment did not have sufficient funds to settle the dues.

Therefore, the court also ordered the employers to pay the amount from their personal accounts. During the trial, the owners also faced accusations of mismanaging the company resulting in the failure to meet their financial obligations. In support of the claims, the lawyer also drew the court’s attention to observations of the court of Cassation in the case.

“The managers are liable to pay third parties and error in management in accordance with the provisions of Articles 185- 186-278 of the Commercial Companies Law,” the court had ruled.

Accepting this, the Court ordered the duo to settle the dues from their own pocket as they jointly owned the company and were among its board members. The court also viewed that the duo failed to provide evidence to prove that the company was not financially sound.
