Man to pay back Dhs4,000 after failing to secure job, housing for plaintiff’s sister in UAE

Al Ain Civil, Commercial and Administrative Cases Court obligated a man to pay Dhs4,000 to another after the latter paid the same as a down payment to secure a job and accommodation for his sister in exchange for Dhs8,000.

The defendant, however, failed to comply.

Earlier, a man filed a lawsuit, at the end of which he requested the court to obligate the other party to pay him Dhs26,000 plus the incurred legal expenses and fees.

The plaintiff said the defendant agreed to provide residence and a job for his sister in exchange for 8,000, of which he paid Dhs4,000 as a down payment.

The defendant, however, did not apply for the residence visa for the plaintiff’s sister, causing harms to the plaintiff as embodied in the amounts paid for airway tickets of Dhs5,000, a tourist visa of Dhs2,000 and rent of Dhs15,000.

The defendant submitted a response memorandum, in which he asserted that the plaintiff was not entitled to claim the cost of the tourist visa, the rent, and the airway tickets.

At the same time, the defendant acknowledged receiving Dhs4,000 for finalizing the visa transaction for the plaintiff’s sister but due to circumstances beyond his company’s control, he could not complete the transaction.

The plaintiff noted that he had no objection to returning the down payment without any compensations.

Based on the above, the court obligated the defendant to return Dhs4,000 to the plaintiff and pay the incurred fees and expenses.
