Bahrain property development delay could end in court

Property owners at a stalled residential project in Bahrain could take the developer to court in a bid to end their long-running nightmare. The Marina West Owners Group has submitted a letter to the Crown Prince's Court seeking government intervention following major delays in completing the project.

With the case being investigated, the group claims some members are now considering individual suits against Marina West.

In a letter to the Gulf Daily News (GDN), the group maintained it was keen to reach an amicable solution - but warned that legal action was now on the cards.

'We are pressing for an amicable and firm solution with government intervention,' the letter reads. 'We are asking for an audit of the project finances and an agreement that satisfies the home buyers.'
