KUWAIT CITY, Oct 21: The Court of Appeal has concluded one of the most prominent cases related to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was a lawsuit filed by a medical company against the Ministry of Health. The court ordered the ministry to pay KD 13,028,400, in addition to seven percent annual legal interest until full payment is made. Lawyer Dr. Mohammad Munawar Al- Mutairi stated that evidence and documentation confirmed the company had fulfilled all its contractual obligations during the pandemic, including the full delivery of medical supplies that played a role in combating the virus.
