‘Pay pending charges’: The Commercial Division of the Court of First Instance ordered a commercial company to pay a general trading and contracting company a sum of KD 10,000, which is the agreed value for the extension of the computer network in an international bank. Lawyer Khawlah Mubarak Al- Hassawi presented the case details, explaining that her client carried out the tasks specified in the subcontract signed between her client and the commercial company such as installation of electrical cables and set up of the computer and telephone networks in the bank. After the tasks were completed within the agreed timeframe, the company refused to provide the payment to her client for the abovementioned tasks. Lawyer Al-Hassawi said the experts report affirmed the unspecified amount of indebtedness that must be subjected to the court expert to determine the value especially since part of the debt of about KD 12,000 had been paid.

Decision upheld: The Court of Appeals upheld decision of the Court of First Instance that ordered amendment to a Kuwait Petroleum Corporation employee’s annual performance assessment from ‘Good’ to ‘Excellent’. Lawsuit filed on behalf of the plaintiff by Lawyer Ayed Al-Rashidi indicated the plaintiff started with KPC as a sales representative and rose to become a senior business coordinating analyst at the Acquisition Sector. He explained the supervisor evaluated him as ‘Very Good’ and the higher supervisor changed it to ‘Good’. He argued that his client did not deserve that treatment, considering he has been punctual and dedicated to work. Lawyer Al-Rashidi also said his client has cordial relationship with his colleagues and participates in training new employees, besides carrying out extra assignments for free and upgrading programs that assist others in performing their assignments. He regarded his client’s performance evaluation as oppressive, unjust, and unequal treatment.
