Al Ain court orders man to pay Dhs38,000 for selling someone else's car

Al Ain Court for Civil, Commercial, and Administrative Cases ordered a man to pay Dhs38,000 to another, after the first man advertised a car for sale, prompting the second to send him the purchase amount but the seller delayed delivering the car, and it was later discovered that the car belonged to someone else.

The purchaser filed a lawsuit against the seller, demanding he pay Dhs41,300 along with fees and expenses.

The appellee had advertised a 2014 model car for sale, and the plaintiff transferred the purchase amount but the appellee delayed delivery, and it was found that the car belonged to another person.

The plaintiff also requested that the appellee be directed to take a decisive oath, swearing that he did not owe the plaintiff Dhs38,000, the amount paid for the car.

The plaintiff submitted supporting documents, including a bank transfer receipt for the claimed amount and a payment invoice for fines totaling Dhs3,300.

The appellee failed to attend the session allocated for the oath despite being notified.

The court stated that since the appellee did not attend the session for the decisive oath, it issued a ruling in absentia, ordering him to pay the plaintiff Dhs38,000.
