An Al Ain court has ordered a man to pay Dhs1 million to another man who said he transferred the money after being promised repayment with profits.
The plaintiff told the court that the defendant later avoided repaying the amount, prompting him to file a lawsuit seeking the original sum and 12% legal interest from the date of the claim until full payment.
The judge appointed an accounting expert, whose report confirmed that the plaintiff had transferred Dhs1 million from his bank account to the defendant. The report found no documentary evidence establishing why the money had been transferred, and neither party submitted documents proving that any repayment had been made.
The court then ordered the plaintiff to take the decisive oath. After he swore it in the required form, the court ruled that the debt remained due and ordered the defendant to pay the full amount.
