By an Appellant’s Notice, filed on 2 August 2024 the Appellant appeals Order dated 7 May 2024 from the Commercial Court (KBD) in which the Judge dismissed the application.
Issue: Whether the Claimant, a family-run Palestinian company operating as a car dealership and trader, qualifies as a “Commercial Agent” under Article 15 of the Palestinian Commercial Agents Law No. 2 of 2000.
If it does, the further issue is whether the Claimant is entitled to compensation from the Defendant, a German car manufacturer, under Palestinian law pursuant to Article 19 contract between the parties, even though that contract is governed by English law.
