Abu Dhabi court orders man to return Dhs260,000 he borrowed from a woman
The woman filed a lawsuit demanding the man repay the Dhs260,000 loan, along with a 12% legal interest until full repayment.
She also sought Dhs16,000 for car installments he was supposed to pay but failed to, despite using the vehicle for four months.
The plaintiff stated that the appellee received Dhs260,000 from her, as evidenced by a debt acknowledgment for the loan.
Additionally, he took possession of her car, agreeing to pay Dhs4,005 in monthly installments for four months during which he used the vehicle.
During the hearing, the court administered an oath to the plaintiff, who swore she lent the appellee Dhs260,000, which he did not repay.
The court reviewed the evidence submitted by the plaintiff, including a promissory note proving the loan.
The appellee appeared in court but failed to provide evidence of repayment or dispute the authenticity of his signature on the promissory note.

‘Bawal ang usisero' Dubai Police Warn Against ‘Rubbernecking' at Accident Sites: Dh1,000 Fine and Black Points
Dubai Police have cautioned motorists against the dangerous practice of slowing down or stopping to watch accidents on the road, stressing that such behavior not only disrupts traffic but also endangers lives by delaying emergency response. In a Gulf News report, Brigadier Juma Salem Bin Suwaidan, Acting Director of the General Department of Traffic, said violators face a Dh1,000 fine and black points on their driving record under federal traffic laws. 'This habit poses a serious threat to road safety and human lives while hindering the timely arrival of rescue teams,' he said. Authorities noted that drivers who crowd accident scenes often worsen injuries and cause secondary crashes by abruptly slowing down or stopping. Police urged motorists to keep a safe distance, follow speed limits, and signal before changing lanes. Officials also highlighted ongoing awareness campaigns to remind drivers that 'curiosity at accident sites is not just a bad habit, it is a traffic violation that can end in tragedy.' Brigadier Bin Suwaidan added: 'Every second counts in emergencies. The delays caused by unnecessary congestion may cost a life.' He advised drivers never to stop in the middle of the road, and in cases of breakdowns, to immediately contact Dubai Police for assistance.

Dubai Court Fines Motorist, Orders Dh50,000 Blood Money in Fatal Scooter Accident
A Dubai court has fined a Gulf national Dh10,000 and ordered him to pay Dh50,000 in blood money to the family of an Asian man who died in a traffic accident earlier this year. The fatal incident took place in March on Al Wasl Road, where the victim, riding an electric scooter, was struck near a pedestrian crossing. Responding officers found him critically injured, and he was declared dead at the scene. The driver told investigators the man suddenly crossed outside the pedestrian lane, leaving no chance to avoid the collision. However, police determined both parties shared responsibility. Traffic reports revealed the driver had run a red light, failed to slow down at a crossing, and neglected proper caution, which directly caused the fatal crash. Investigators also noted that the victim contributed to the accident by riding — instead of walking — his scooter across the pedestrian line and failing to check for oncoming vehicles. In its ruling, the court stressed that negligence, whether through action or omission, constitutes criminal liability, underscoring the shared responsibility of both the motorist and the victim.
