Muscat – Consumer Protection Authority in Muscat issued a judgment in a dispute between a consumer and a commercial establishment specialising in event management.

The case arose when the consumer agreed with the establishment to provide a buffet table for a wedding occasion, which included main dishes, appetisers, beverages, and service supplies for an agreed amount with an advance payment.

However, the establishment failed to provide the service on the agreed date. Following the complaint, the defendant was convicted of failing to provide the service to the consumer properly and in a manner consistent with its nature. The court fined the establishment RO 300, with the execution of the penalty suspended, and ordered it to bear the legal costs.
