The Meysan legal team, led by Partner Abdulwahab Sadeq and Senior Counsel Tarek Diab, has secured a significant appellate victory on behalf of a prominent Kuwaiti client. Initially, the firm represented a Kuwaiti company in a complex dispute with a major governmental entity over usufruct rights to a waterfront property and the legitimacy of a non-governmental bid submitted for the same. comix-group.com
In the first instance, the court ordered the client to compensate the governmental company over six million and five hundred thousand dollars for continued occupation of the disputed property.
The Meysan team swiftly appealed the decision, and the Court of Appeals found merit in our arguments, setting aside the initial ruling, and remanding the case to the Court of First Instance for re-evaluation. Despite the lower court reaffirming its original decision upon review, our persistent efforts led to a subsequent appeal, which significantly altered the course of the proceedings. Through diligent advocacy and strategic litigation, the team’s efforts led to a reduction in the compensation to less than half a million dollars—a testament to our team’s resilience and expertise in managing legally complex disputes.
Furthermore, it is noteworthy that Meysan represents several international clients within the automotive and energy sectors, handling a broad spectrum of legal challenges both within and beyond the borders of Kuwait. programadorderiego.com
