The Abu Dhabi Appellate Court upheld the ruling of the Court of First Instance, obligating a man to pay another Dhs10,000, after the second sold a farmland to the first, and it turned out that it was not his farmland.
Details date back to an earlier time when the plaintiff filed a lawsuit in which he demanded the other man to pay him Dhs53,000, besides an interest of 12%, the lawsuit’s expenses and attorney’s fees.
The plaintiff indicated that the suspect sold him a farm he did not own, and that he paid him Dhs10,000.
The Court of First Instance obligated the suspect to pay the plaintiff Dhs10,000 and an interest of 4% from the date of filing the lawsuit until full payment.
It also obligated him to pay the case fees and expenses.
The plaintiff appealed the ruling, noting that he had bills for the purchase of building materials for the establishment of a barn, and that the suspect leased him half of the farm, although he did not own it and was not entitled to rent it.
On the other hand, the suspect demanded that the appeal be dismissed.
