Abu Dhabi Court Orders Woman to Repay Dh216,000 Loan After WhatsApp Evidence
The Abu Dhabi Court for Family, Civil, and Administrative Cases has ordered a woman to pay Dh216,000 plus legal interest to a man after finding she borrowed money but failed to settle the full amount. The man said he had lent the woman Dh390,000 in instalments over time, relying on their friendship when she faced financial difficulties after her trading accounts were closed. She repaid Dh102,000, leaving Dh288,000 unpaid despite repeated reminders. Although no written receipts were signed, the man presented WhatsApp messages in which the woman acknowledged owing money. In one exchange, she admitted to a debt of Dh312,000, while he claimed the figure was Dh318,000. The woman insisted she had only borrowed and repaid Dh102,000, but the court ruled the evidence supported the man's claim. Since both parties acknowledged the Dh102,000 repayment, the court concluded that Dh216,000 remained outstanding and ordered her to pay the amount plus interest.

Al Ain Court Orders Man to Repay Dh160,000 in Fake Investment Scheme
The Al Ain Civil, Commercial, and Administrative Cases Court has ruled against a man for duping another into a fraudulent investment, ordering him to repay Dh160,000 plus interest and legal costs. Court documents show the defendant convinced the plaintiff that he owned private companies and persuaded him to invest. Trusting the claims, the plaintiff handed over Dh150,000 in two instalments, supported by a signed receipt. However, the defendant failed to deliver on the investment, avoided communication, and later claimed the money had been lost. A court-appointed forensic accounting expert confirmed that the defendant acknowledged receiving the funds under an informal investment agreement but did not honour the partnership terms. The court ordered the defendant to repay the Dh150,000 principal, Dh20,000 in damages, and 12 per cent annual interest from the date of filing until full settlement, along with all court fees and expenses.

Dubai Court Orders Man to Repay Dh118,000 in Failed Currency Exchange Deal
A Dubai civil court has ordered an Arab man to return nearly Dh118,000 to an African trader after failing to deliver on a promised five-minute currency exchange. The defendant was also directed to pay Dh5,000 in compensation for financial and emotional harm. Court documents show that the trader, who needed U.S. dollars to pay Canadian suppliers, entrusted Dh117,913 to the defendant. The man had assured that the funds would be instantly converted through his local bank accounts. Instead of transferring the money, the defendant allegedly stalled and tried to reassure the trader with a photo of himself depositing cash at an ATM. However, the promised transfer never came through, leaving the trader unable to meet supplier deadlines. To maintain his business relationship, the trader paid his supplier again out of his own pocket and later pursued legal action in Dubai. Despite WhatsApp messages, invoices, and other evidence submitted, the defendant failed to appear in court or prove repayment. The court applied the UAE Civil Transactions Law, which requires anyone who unlawfully takes money to return it, ruling in favor of the trader and ordering repayment plus damages. The trader's larger claim of Dh100,000 in psychological and material harm was denied.
