Abu Dhabi Court for Family, Civil and Administrative Cases obligated a person to return Dhs250,000 to a woman, which he had taken from her as a loan but when she asked him to return it, he refused.

The woman proved that through chats via WhatsApp and the testimony of one of the man’s wife relatives.

In the details, a woman filed a lawsuit against a person, in which she requested that he be obligated to pay her Dhs250,000 and obligate him to pay the fees and expenses of the case.

She explained that the appellee asked her for the amount as a loan because he was going through financial hardships, so she deposited the amount in his account, and when she asked him to return it, he refused.

The plaintiff attached a copy of the deposit receipt and of WhatsApp chats with the case papers.

The judge decided to direct the complementary oath to the plaintiff to swear that she lent the appellee Dhs250,000 at his request, which he did not return and that he still owed her the full amount.

The court explained that after reviewing the WhatsApp chats and listening to the testimony of one of the appellee’s wife relatives, and the oath taken by the plaintiff, it was proved that what she claimed was true and that the amount deposited by her in the appellee’s account was as a loan, which he did not return, and then the court obligated him to return the appellant Dhs250,000.
