Tala, a 45 years old woman living in Tripoli, decides to buy an apartment next to her building to lease it and make some extra money.

She finds out that her neighbor Rami owns a suitable apartment and is offering it foe rent. Tala and Rami enter into a contract which states that Rami shall sell the apartment to Tala for 90,000$.

A couple of days after paying the agreed upon price and receiving the keys to the apartment, Tala has a terrible car accident which resulted in him suffering from post-traumatic amnesia; a state of confusion and memory loss.

Rami finds out about the incident and decides to file a lawsuit against Tala requesting a discharge of the contract on the basis that Tala does not fulfill the Legal Capacity condition imposed by the law.

Rami files the above lawsuit at the Commercial Court of Beirut.

1. Did Rami file the lawsuit before the competent court? Explain. (NB: you should consider the type of court and its location).

2. Do you believe that Rami will win this case? Explain.

Two months later, Tala gets her memory back and decides to start her own private business. She establishes a home appliances store in Beirut. Her new business started blooming very fast and she was making a lot of profit. She lent 200,000$ to a fellow businessman who promised to pay her back in a few weeks time but never did.

This is when Tala files a lawsuit, but the only form of proof he has is the oral testimony of the data entry clerk at her store.

3. Will the court accept such evidence? Explain.
