Showroom sells a used car for Dhs68,000, stalls payment to vehicle's owner
Al Ain Civil, Commercial and Administrative Cases Court obligated a showroom for selling new and used cars to return Dhs68,000 to a customer and fined it Dhs15,000 for failing to transfer the price of a car to a customer. Earlier, the customer asked the showroom to help him sell his car and consequently he was asked to transfer the ownership of the car to the showroom's name to make it easier to sell it. Later, an agreement on the sale price was reached, but the showroom did not commit to transferring the amount to the car owner and began to stall. The car owner filed a lawsuit against the showroom in which he requested the court to obligate it to pay him Dhs68,000 plus a legal interest at 9 per cent per annum from the date of the claim until full payment. He also requested the court to obligate the showroom to pay him Dhs30,000 in compensation for the material and moral harms he had befallen plus the incurred fees, expenses, and lawyer's fees. The car owner pleaded that he owned a car, and the defendant was a licensed showroom for selling new and used cars. As he wanted to sell his car, he agreed with the showroom for his car to be displayed at the showroom and then sold at the highest satisfactory price. The car continued to be displayed until the showroom informed the car owner that it had agreed with a buyer to sell the car for Dhs68,000, which the car owner agreed to. However, the showroom informed the car owner again that the buyer wanted to buy the car through a UAE bank and consequently the car owner was requested to transfer the ownership of the car to the showroom to be able to sell the car and complete the procedures faster. The showroom asked the car owner to use his digital ID and carry out the procedures for waiving the car and promised him to transfer the amount as soon as the procedures were completed. The car owner stated that the showroom, however, continued to stall on this matter and refused to transfer the amount to him although the car had already been sold and the sale price had already been received. This prompted the car owner to file a lawsuit, requesting the court to issue a verdict in his favour. He supported his lawsuit with a copy of the WhatsApp conversations and a copy of the car ownership document. The court explained that it was evident from the documents that the car owner had handed his car over to the showroom and declared that the showroom had sold it and collected its price Dhs68,000. The showroom did not dispute the origin of the debt and acknowledged the car owner's right to claim it. The court thereby ordered the showroom to pay the amount claimed and estimated the compensation due at Dhs15,000 for all the material and moral harms that the car owner had befallen.

Review: Hanu, an interactive new Korean restaurant
In Dubai's burgeoning restaurant scene, a handful of restaurants make an instant impact. Sushisamba was one such restaurant, which brought a trifecta of excellent views, dishes and vibes to the Palm Tower in 2021. The man who can be credited with much of the success on the culinary front is chef Kyung Soo Moon, the restaurant's then-executive chef. But now he's turned his attention back to his roots for Hanu, a modern interpretation of Korean cuisine. Found at St Regis Gardens, it's in good company with restaurants like Leña, Aretha, Chez Wam and Tresind Studio among its neighbours. Once inside, we're met with dark and moody interiors with intricate attention to detail. Rich dark walnut woods, striking artworks and Korean pine trees lace the traditional with more contemporary accents befitting of a glamourous new Dubai restaurant. You enter through the lounge and bar where a DJ spins enigmatic beats that are thankfully not overpowering, through to a table in the restaurant. If you're unfamiliar with Korean BBQ, the knowledgeable team are on-hand to make recommendations, and confidently talk us through the concept and must-try dishes. The wagyu beef gyoza (Dhs68) are one such dish, piping hot parcels of Japanese A5 wagyu short rib and shiitake mushroom encased in a dough that's the perfect level of crispy and tender. Forget everything you know about vegetables and order the Korean fried cauliflower (Dhs65), coated in a spicy sauce and served with a side of yuja radish to balance the heat. The almost-too-pretty-to-eat beef tartelette (Dhs110) is another playful interpretation of classic Korean flavours, with a soft quail egg marinated in soy sauce, served on top of a tartelette of beef jongjorim, a layer of caviar giving it a Dubai elevation. To truly get a taste of Korean BBQ, order the 'Meat Me At The Grill' (Dhs365 per person), where you'll be served four cuts of premium meat with a selection of sides, condiments and a stew. It's a generous offering – much like it would be if you dined at Chef Moon's family home – given added wow-factor with the meats cooked on the charcoal grill built into each table. Each buttery cut of meat is full of flavour and perfectly cooked, from the Australian Black Angus to the Japanese A4 Wagyu striploin. For dessert, a beautifully presented golden pear delight (Dhs63) is a light and fresh way to end the meal. Diced Korean pear is paired with a walnut crumble and a scoop of tonka bean ice cream. Verdict: A focus on quality cuisine and service makes this a restaurant deserving of a place on your foodie bucket list.
