Civil Litigation & Compensation Lawyers in Makkah
A civil claim is based on a demand for a right: a sum of money, delivery of an item, performance of an obligation or compensation for damage. In Makkah, where everyday transactions between individuals and small businesses are common, disputes arise over money owed, supply arrangements between individuals, and damage caused by accidents or by maintenance and building work. In these cases the lawyer determines the legal basis of the claim, whether it rests on a contract between the parties or on a harmful act, as this decides what must be proved. The lawyer also represents defendants facing a claim they consider unfounded.
These claims are heard in principle by the general courts. Practical tips before going to a lawyer: do not delay your claim, as the passage of time may weaken the evidence; keep the original documents and provide copies; and do not sign any release or waiver before consulting a specialist. A written notice to the other party may also be a useful step in some cases.
