Case Study: Legal Turnaround in Cross-Border Debt Dispute

Introduction

A prominent Italian industrial group engaged in aluminum production sought our assistance in recovering €84,000 from Algeria Crème, a local distributor. The initial judgment delivered by the Court of Oran was unfavorable, following an unsuccessful attempt by a local legal representative. Facing a stalled recovery process, the client turned to Fares Legal for a more strategic resolution.

The Challenge

The legal complexity stemmed from procedural shortcomings in the initial filing and a weak legal argument that failed to secure enforcement of contractual obligations.

Our Strategy

Fares Legal conducted a thorough review of the proceedings and built a solid appellate strategy. We focused on correcting procedural flaws and presenting a compelling case under applicable Algerian commercial law.

The Result

We successfully overturned the prior judgment on appeal, obtaining both the full payment of the outstanding debt and an additional award of one million Algerian dinars in damages. The case reaffirmed our firm’s strength in managing high-stakes international debt recovery through rigorous legal execution.

Conclusion

This matter reflects Fares Legal’s capacity to navigate complex cross-border litigation while recovering both principal amounts and additional compensatory relief for our clients.
