Is such wording correct (gramatically)?

Hello!
Is such wording okay (gramatically)?

The court indicated that there are no disputes in the matter regarding the fact that the parties have lawfully entered into the loan agreement and regarding conditions thereof, as well as no disputes regarding the fact that the plaintiff has fulfilled his obligations but the defendant has not fulfilled her obligations and has not repaid the debt and interest for using the loan within the prescribed period.

Can I use underlined "his" if the plaintiff is a company? Or should I use "its"?
Please, keep in mind that this is for my bachelor's thesis and it is not highly important document (okay, it is, but only for me)!

Thanks Emotion: smile

Use the personal pronoun if it is a actual person. " You did not ask this, but this is rather wordy. I would break it up or try to say it more clearly.

  • For example: The court indicated that there are no factual disputes in the following areas: the parties lawfully entered into the loan agreement; the conditions of the loan were acceptable; the plaintiff fulfilled his obligations; the defendant did not fulfill her obligations because she did not repaid the debt and interest within the prescribed period.
