Al Ain man buys vehicle for Dhs11,500 but pays only Dhs300, court tells him to pay remaining amount
Al Ain Court for Civil, Commercial and Administrative Cases obligated a person to pay Dhs11,200 to another for abstaining from settling the remaining price of a vehicle already delivered to him. The defendant paid only Dhs300 although he had an agreement with the plaintiff to buy the vehicle for a specific sum of money. Earlier, the plaintiff filed a lawsuit in which he requested the court to obligate the defendant to pay him Dhs11,200 plus Dhs3,000 in compensation for the material and moral harms and the legal expenses and fees. The plaintiff pleaded that pursuant to an agreement between them, he sold the vehicle subject of the lawsuit to the defendant for Dhs11,500 but the latter paid only Dhs300 and refused to pay the remainder despite the expiry of the agreed-upon period. This caused him material and moral harms and prompted him to file this lawsuit to obtain a verdict in his favour, he said. To support his lawsuit, the plaintiff submitted a copy of the sales contract. After reviewing the case, the court was hereby satisfied that the plaintiff was entitled to what he was requesting, especially since the defendant did not dispute the validity of the debt and did not present anything that contradicted the related documents. Based on this, the court ruled that the plaintiff's requests be fulfilled and the remaining amount stated in the sales contract be paid. As far as the compensation claim was concerned, the court stated that according to Article 292 of the Civil Transactions Law, compensation should cover both the actual loss suffered by the victim and any loss of profit, provided that these are a direct consequence of the harmful act. As the plaintiff, with whom the burden of proof lies, neither explained the nature of the harms nor the losses he sustained as a result of what the defendant did, the court hereby rejected this claim as it stood.

Woman ordered to give man Dhs10,000 for breach of pact in UAE
The Al Ain Court for Civil, Commercial, and Administrative Cases has ordered a woman to pay Dhs10,000 to a man after she and her husband failed to fulfil a verbal agreement to supply furniture in return for the payment. Details date back to the time when a man filed a lawsuit against the woman, demanding she pay him Dhs10,000. He claimed that, based on a verbal agreement with her husband, he deposited the amount in her bank account in exchange for delivering furniture to his home. However, neither the woman nor her husband supplied the furniture. The plaintiff provided evidence, including a bank statement showing the transfer. He attended the court session, but the appellee did not appear despite being legally notified. The plaintiff stated he had no further evidence beyond the bank statement and requested the court to direct a decisive oath to the appellee. The court issued the decisive oath to her, but she failed to attend the session despite being notified. Given the appellee's absence and failure to take the oath, the court ruled in favour of the plaintiff, ordering the woman to pay him Dhs10,000.

The appellee failed to attend the session allocated for the oath despite being notified. The court stated that since the appellee did not attend the session for the decisive oath, it issued a ruling in absentia, ordering him to pay the plaintiff Dhs38,000.

UAE Man Fined Rs 16 Lakh For Negative Review Against Business Online
A UAE man has paid a huge price for posting disparaging remarks against a business on social media. The Al Ain Court for Civil, Commercial, and Administrative Claims ordered the man to pay the business owner Dh70,000 (approximately Rs 16.21 lakh) for inflicting financial losses. The businessman filed the lawsuit and initially sought Dh200,000 in damages for material and moral harm, court costs and legal fees. He alleged the man's remarks damaged his store's reputation and significantly reduced sales, Gulf News reported. The court acknowledged the man's remarks about the business harmed the company's reputation. The defendant was earlier found guilty in a criminal court ruling before filing a written defence asking the court to dismiss the case. He also asked the Federal Tax Authority to furnish the company's tax records to verify whether there had been a decline in sales during the period of the claimed defamation. The man also provided supporting documentation, such as images of internet conversations and a certificate of dependent status. The defendant also sought to recoup legal fees. However, the court concluded that the man had committed defamation, affirming the previous ruling. He was mandated to compensate the merchant with the designated amount. In a similar case in 2024, a man from Northern Ireland was sentenced to up to two years in prison in Dubai for posting a critical review of a dog grooming business. Belfast native Craig Ballentine was arrested on "slander" charges after he posted a critical review following a dispute with his previous employer. Ballentine lost his job and faced a travel ban for two months. He had to pay thousands of pounds to get it removed. The man then returned to Northern Ireland and wrote a critical online review outlining all of his grievances with the grooming centre and his former supervisor. Later, he was arrested while on vacation with friends in Abu Dhabi.
