Abu Dhabi Court Orders Woman to Pay Dh133,400 Over Unpaid Debt

The Abu Dhabi Family, Civil and Administrative Cases Court has ordered a woman to pay Dh133,400 to a man after receipts and communications between them supported his claim.

The woman had refused to pay the amount, prompting the man to file a lawsuit seeking Dh133,400, along with court fees and other expenses.

In his claim, the man said the woman owed him Dh157,900, comprising Dh133,400 covered by a receipt and a further Dh24,500 confirmed in their communications. He had previously sought a payment order to recover the debt, relying on the receipt as evidence.

The court found that the documents submitted did not show that the woman had settled the Dh133,400 debt. It also rejected her claims, noting that she was required to provide evidence to contradict the facts established by the documents.

The woman also failed to prove any connection between the debt and an alleged partnership. The court found that bank transfers cited by her were unrelated to the documented debt.

The court therefore ordered the woman to pay the man Dh133,400, in addition to the applicable court costs.
