Al Ain Court Orders Woman to Repay Man Dh248,052 Over Unsettled Loan

The Al Ain Civil, Commercial and Administrative Cases Court has ordered a woman to repay Dh248,052 to a man following a dispute over a loan that was only partially repaid.

The case arose after the man filed a lawsuit seeking payment of the outstanding amount. He told the court that he had transferred Dh317,402 to the woman through bank transactions, but received only Dh58,450 in partial repayment. He said that despite repeated requests, she failed to settle the remaining balance, leading him to take legal action.

The court also ordered the payment of legal interest on the outstanding amount, highlighting the consequences of failing to meet financial obligations.

As part of the proceedings, the judge appointed an accounting expert from the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department's approved list of experts to examine the financial transactions between the parties.

The expert concluded that Dh248,052 remained outstanding. The court noted that there were no specific written agreements or contracts between the parties setting out the terms of the financial arrangement. Instead, the expert's assessment was based on the bank transfer records and WhatsApp correspondence submitted to the court.

Before issuing its final ruling, the court required the defendant to take a supplementary oath. At the scheduled hearing, the plaintiff appeared either in person or through a representative and confirmed his willingness to take the oath. He subsequently did so in the prescribed language.

Based on the evidence, the expert's findings and the oath, the court concluded that the defendant was liable for Dh248,052. It therefore ordered her to repay the amount, together with the applicable legal interest.
