A Doha court is reviewing a case filed by an Indian expatriate businessman against a legal consultant accusing him of fraud and deceit, local Arabic daily Arrayah reported.
The businessman, who runs a number of contracting firms, used to have some troubles from some of his clients who did not pay their debts in time. Due to the large dues, estimated in millions of riyals, he approached a legal firm to help him collect the funds.
Accordingly, a lawyer working at the firm suggested that he should sell part of his business to another person who could be in a better position to collect the outstanding amounts.
So, the lawyer found him a buyer who offered QR4mn for the business but paid only a small amount promising he would pay the rest upon conclusion of the necessary procedures to register the purchase deal. However, after the conclusion of the procedures both the lawyer and the new buyer denied the businessman any rights. He tried to settle the issue amicably but nothing worked out.
Untimely, he resorted to the court to claim his rights accusing the lawyer and the buyer of deceit and fraud. The lawyer claimed that he has some cheques signed by the businessman towards dues. The man denied that he ever wrote or signed such cheques and his lawyer asked that the documents be examined by the court to ensure their authenticity, the daily added.
