Al Ain court obliges man to pay woman Dhs15,900 over e-fraud

Al Ain Court of Civil, Commercial and Administrative Cases ordered a man to pay a woman Dhs15,900, in an electronic fraud case.

According to the case file, a woman filed a lawsuit against a man demanding that he be ordered to pay her Dhs11,900 and a compensation of Dhs10,000, alleging that he seized the amount from her illegally, noting that he was convicted under a criminal decision by Al Ain Public Prosecution.

The court pointed out that it was established from the copy of the judgment issued in the criminal case by Al Ain Public Prosecution, that the appellee was convicted of the charge of seizing the amount from the plaintiff through electronic fraud under illegal circumstances without any financial or contractual relationship or prior acquaintance between them, and without notifying the competent authorities (bank or police) of that.

The court also added that it was proved that the seized amount was Dhs11,900 which he was ordered to return, and to compensate the plaintiff with an amount of Dhs4,000, bringing the total amount to Dhs15,900.
