AlGosaibi v Maan AlSanea - Other Information

(This is the fourth of a series of posts which look at more detail at recent filings in New York Supreme Court Case #601650/2009 - Mashreqbank v AlGosaibi with Mr. AlSanea as a Third Party Defendant.  More detail here on this series).

Here's a list of some other items that might be of interest.

1. Exhibit 32 (NY Supreme Court Document #108):  A dual language copy of the "Law of Procedure Before Shari'ah Courts" which deals with procedures in Saudi Arabia.
2. Exhibit 33 (NYSC Doc #108-1):  AHAB's Counsel's Argument about Mashreqbank's alleged culpability in what is alleged to be Mr. AlSanea's fraud.  On page 9, it's stated that the Money Exchange's volume of remittances during the period January 2008 through April 2009 was approximately US$66.67 million while the volume of FX transactions between Mashreqbank and the ME was approximately US$4.97 billion.
3. Exhibit 34 (NYSC Doc #108-2: Review by Jamal Al-Muzein (Mr. AlSanea's Saudi lawyer) of the legal system in Saudi Arabia.  As noted in an earlier post, one of Mr. AlSanea's arguments for forum non conveniens in New York is the robust nature of the Saudi legal system. So factor that in as you read this paper.  Also be aware that the King currently has a project ongoing to "modernize" the Saudi Court system - which may give you an idea of his view on its state.

As you read these documents - and all others related to this case - bear in mind that at present there has been no judicial determination made or verdict issued.  Mr. AlSanea is vigorously denying any allegations of wrongdoing on his part.
