A man filed a lawsuit before Al Ain Court of First Instance, demanding that his ex-wife pay him Dhs10,220, the value of traffic fines and costs of repairing a car, in addition to the fees and expenses of the lawsuit and the lawyer’s fees.

The appellant explained that the appellee, during their marital relationship, unlawfully seized a vehicle, but he recovered it upon a court ruling.

He also indicated that during his ex-wife's use of the vehicle, accidents were committed, so the damages were repaired at cost of Dhs4,500.

He added that the traffic violations valued at Dhs7,220 were also committed. Before the court, the appellee affirmed that the date of the accident report proved that it took place before she used the vehicle.

The court indicated that according to the case papers, the vehicle was in the possession of the appellee during the marital relationship, and then the complainant recovered it, and that, according to the receipts for the payment of the fines, the amount he deserved was Dhs4,000.

The court added the accident report did not prove that the appellee was the one who caused it, and then the court obligated her to pay her ex-husband Dhs4,000.
