A mediator trusted to resolve a money row between two mates has been ordered by the Civil Court to return BD2,000 he kept for himself.

The dispute began when one friend owed BD4,000 to another.

He attempted to pay half, but the creditor insisted on full repayment, and the pair disagreed about the deadline.

To settle the matter, the debtor handed BD2,000 to a third friend, expecting this intermediary to deliver the money and put an end to the quarrel.

Requests

Instead, the trusted middleman kept the sum and refused to return it, despite repeated requests.

With the situation at a standstill, the claimant and debtor confronted the mediator directly.

The debtor stated clearly he wanted the funds passed on.

The mediator agreed, promising to withdraw and deliver the money the next Sunday
