Abu Dhabi Court Orders Dh195,000 Refund After Car Investment Deal Collapses
The judgment came after the defendants acknowledged taking the investment funds but delayed and ultimately refused to refund the amount.
Staff WriterDec 17, 2025, 10:02 AMAn Abu Dhabi court has directed a man to repay Dh195,000 to another individual after a proposed car investment arrangement fell through and the money was not returned.
The case arose from a complaint filed by a man who said he had been persuaded to transfer funds to a friend and the friend’s sister on the understanding that the money would be invested in a car business and generate returns. He was initially asked to transfer Dh200,000 to the sister’s bank account for this purpose.
According to court records, the claimant transferred Dh165,000 to the sister’s account and Dh30,000 to the friend’s account, bringing the total amount paid to Dh195,000.
The agreement reportedly provided that proceeds from the car investments would be used to cover loan instalments and deliver additional profits to the claimant. However, when he later sought repayment of the principal and any expected returns, the defendants delayed and eventually refused to make any payments.
The claimant subsequently lodged a complaint alleging fraud and deception. During the proceedings, both the friend and his sister acknowledged receiving the money and admitted that it had not been repaid.
The court ruled that the financial liability was proven and ordered the defendants to refund Dh195,000 to the claimant.
