Recurring matters in Madinah Region
Many businesses in Madinah are tied to visitor seasons, so disputes arise over lease and operating terms, agreed occupancy rates and responsibility for maintenance. Reading the contract together with its annexes and the correspondence exchanged is the starting point in these matters.
In Yanbu, home to factories and projects associated with the Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu, issues of change orders, completion certificates, retention amounts and contractual penalties recur between the main contractor, subcontractors and suppliers.
