Dubai Court divides plot of land among 7 siblings

Dubai Real Estate Court has issued a ruling to sell a 2,402 square metre plot of land, valued at Dhs16,806,377, through a public auction.

The auction's initial phase will allow co-owners to bid, with the sale proceeds to be distributed among them according to their respective shares.

The case dates back to when a Gulf woman filed a lawsuit requesting the land be sold at auction and the proceeds divided between her and her six siblings.

She explained that she had attempted to amicably settle the matter through an exchange involving other properties, but her siblings refused.

Court documents revealed that a similar case was heard in 2024, during which an expert was appointed to assess the feasibility of dividing the land physically.

The expert's report concluded that division was impossible under Dubai Municipality standards, leading the court to dismiss the case at that time.

During the new trial, the appellees attended and expressed their refusal to sell the entire plot at auction. They offered to purchase the plaintiff's share at the price listed in the valuation certificate issued by the Dubai Land Department, but the plaintiff insisted on her demand to sell the entire plot and dissolve the partnership.
