Hotel to repay BD4,140 after failing to deliver paid services
TDT | Manama After paying BD25,000 for paperwork that never arrived, two clients have won just BD4,140 from one of Bahrain's best-known hotels in a ruling by the High Court of Appeal. The hotel had agreed to arrange guarantor permits and temporary residency documentation. While the full fee was paid upfront, the services were not fully delivered. Represented by lawyer Essam Al Tayyib, the clients took legal action to recover the value of what was left undone. A lower court threw out their claim but the Appeal Court reversed that decision after Al Tayyib submitted a letter signed by the hotel's own representative admitting the debt and proposing a partial settlement. Judges treated this as an implied acknowledgement of both the contract and the amount owed. Al Tayyib argued the initial ruling failed to take key evidence into account. He referred to the letter dated 11 August 2024 which the hotel had never denied. Under Bahraini law, silence on such a document adds weight to its content.

Bahrain: Expat Engineer Awarded BD9,000 In Labour Dispute
An expat engineer has been awarded more than BD9,000 after the Labour High Court ruled a construction firm failed to pay what he was owed when his nine-year stint came to an end. The ruling covers unpaid wages for his final month, money in lieu of untaken leave, an end-of-service payment, return ticket costs, and a certificate of employment. The court also ordered interest to be paid, along with legal costs. The engineer, represented by lawyer Ahmed Mayouf, joined the company in 2015 on a monthly wage of BD1,200. His contract ended in 2024. When the company refused to pay him, he took legal action. He asked the court for his last month's wages, a penalty for the delay, his endof-service dues, payment for unused leave, a return ticket, and a formal certificate confirming the end of employment. The company claimed his salary had been BD950 and insisted everything had already been settled. But the court found that the employment contract and work permit showed a total wage of BD1,200.
