A court has confirmed a creditor’s entitlement to 80,000 dinars, ending a long financial dispute. The conflict started when the defendant failed to repay a documented loan.
The plaintiff filed a lawsuit demanding 80,000 dinars plus interest from the due date. The plaintiff’s lawyer argued the debt acknowledgment clearly showed the defendant’s responsibility. The defendant denied the debt and claimed the document was forged.
During the trial, witnesses shared their accounts, supporting either the plaintiff or the defendant. The court also assigned a financial expert to examine the debt acknowledgment. The expert found the main content added after the signature, supporting the plaintiff’s claim.
The court reviewed all evidence, including recorded conversations between the parties. These documents showed that the defendant’s representative prepared the acknowledgment and understood its content. The law places the burden of proof on the debtor to show repayment. Since the defendant could not prove payment, the court recognized the creditor’s entitlement.
The court explained that customary documents count unless proven otherwise. The defendant could not prove fraud, surprise, or bad faith. Therefore, the court ordered the defendant to pay 80,000 dinars, court costs, and 1,000 dinars for attorney fees.
Legal experts say this ruling strengthens protections for creditors. They also note it shows how courts enforce rights when evidence supports the claim.
By confirming the creditor’s entitlement, the court sent a clear message: financial obligations must be respected. Parties must document loans clearly to avoid disputes. Courts will enforce agreements when proof exists, ensuring fairness.
