Judicial marathon of 19 years… and the case goes to a new trial from the beginning!

The Supreme Court overturned a first-instance decision in a 19-year dispute over the construction of apartments in Larnaca. The case involved buyers who accused the development company of fraud and breach of contract, while the company rejected the allegations and accused the buyers of non-payment. The Supreme Court ruled that the first-instance court did not have sufficient factual basis to dismiss the lawsuits and ordered a retrial of the case from the beginning. The dispute began in 2007-2008 with the purchase of apartments in Alethriko and includes allegations of fraud, breach of contract and bank assignments.
