Al Ain court rejects Dhs200,000 loan case after decisive oath
- 01 Apr 2025
Al Ain Court of Civil, Commercial, and Administrative Cases dismissed a lawsuit filed by a man against another, demanding the repayment of Dhs200,000, which he claimed to have lent to him.
The plaintiff requested that the appellee be directed to take a decisive oath to confirm that his debt was not outstanding, and also sought Dhs50,000 in compensation for the harm sustained, along with legal fees and expenses.
He further requested the referral of the case for interrogation to hear witness testimonies.
The plaintiff stated that due to their friendship, three years before filing the lawsuit, the appellee borrowed Dhs200,000 from him but refused to repay it.
Both parties' lawyers appeared at the court and the appellee's lawyer submitted a memorandum arguing that the debt could not be proved through witness testimonies and requested the dismissal of the case.
The plaintiff's lawyer submitted a memorandum upholding the request and asked for the appellee to take a decisive oath.
The court directed the appellee to take the decisive oath, swearing that he did not borrow Dhs200,000 from the plaintiff and that his debt was not outstanding.
The court stated that the decisive oath resolved the dispute by proving the appellee's debt-free status regarding the amount, and therefore, dismissed the lawsuit.
