Woman obliged to pay man Dhs 299,000 for tickets and hotel stay booked by him in UAE
The plaintiff stated that the woman travelled and returned without settling the payment for the business-class tickets and hotel reservations, totaling Dhs333,025 so he was forced to pay the amount himself after receiving a discount from the travel agency.
During the trial, the judge questioned the plaintiff, who affirmed that he booked the tickets and accommodations for the appellee and her family, totaling Dhs299,722 but despite repeated requests, she did not pay, forcing him to cover the cost from his own account. He added that there was a witness to support his claim.
The appellee denied the allegations, stating that the plaintiff, who was responsible for booking tickets at work, offered the tickets and reservations as a gift, which she accepted, arguing that he only demanded payment after a significant delay, indicating it was a gift. The witness, an employee of the travel agency, testified under oath that the plaintiff requested bookings for a female employee and her family, totaling approximately Dhs290,000 but it was discovered the request was personal, not related to a government entity, causing issues with the company's management.
The plaintiff was asked to pay, and he later settled the amount after receiving a 30% discount, with receipts as proof.
The witness also affirmed hearing the plaintiff's phone conversation with the appellee demanding payment. After reviewing the evidence, including SMSs between the parties (which the appellee did not deny) and the witness testimony, the court ruled in favour of the plaintiff and ordered the woman to pay him Dhs299,722.

In the UAE, black points are serious as they can affect your driving privileges, insurance, and even your job. Here's a simple guide to understanding, checking, and removing black points in the UAE. What are black points? They are demerits added to your driving record when you break traffic rules. They are linked to your Emirates ID, not your car. The more points you get, the closer you are to licence suspension. If you reach 24 points in 12 months, your licence can be suspended. No warnings, no exceptions.

Abu Dhabi Court Orders Man to Repay Dh646,000 in Loan and Credit Card Debt
The Abu Dhabi Commercial Court of First Instance has ordered a man to repay Dh646,000 to a bank after he defaulted on a loan and credit card facilities obtained under a Murabaha agreement. Court records show that the bank initially sought Dh641,000 in unpaid debt, plus Dh20,000 in compensation and legal expenses. The borrower had received financing worth Dh613,979, along with a credit card, but stopped making payments shortly after taking out the facilities. An expert report confirmed his total outstanding debt stood at Dh641,495. The court noted that the bank had complied with all procedures and held valid guarantees, including salary certificates and cheques. The judgment ruled that the borrower violated his repayment obligations, causing financial harm to the bank. He was ordered to settle Dh641,495, pay an additional Dh5,000 compensation, and cover legal fees. Other claims made by the bank were dismissed.

Abu Dhabi court rejects man's lawsuit seeking Dhs15,000 repayment in a cheating case
Abu Dhabi Family, Civil, and Administrative Cases Court dismissed a lawsuit filed by a man against another demanding the repayment of D15,000, along with additional fines. The plaintiff claimed that he had agreed with the defendant, who allegedly worked at a bank, to facilitate the approval of an Dhs800,000 loan with a monthly installment of Dhs6,040 over 25 years, in return for a commission of Dhs25,000. The plaintiff claimed that he transferred Dhs15,000 to the defendant in three installments, but the latter failed to complete the necessary procedures, did not secure the loan approval, and stopped responding to his communications. Upon investigating, the plaintiff discovered that the defendant was not employed by the bank, so he filed a criminal complaint against him. The court stated that the plaintiff's claims were unsupported by evidence and the case file lacked proof that the defendant had misappropriated the funds. Therefore, the court dismissed the lawsuit.
