Man obligated to pay Dhs10,000 compensation for issuing bounced cheque with malicious intent
Abu Dhabi Family, Civil, and Administrative Cases Court ordered a man to pay Dhs10,000 in compensation to another after issuing a Dhs50,000 bounced cheque with malicious intent. The man filed a lawsuit against the other, demanding Dhs50,000 as compensation for material damages (the cheque value) and an additional Dhs50,000 for moral damages, along with legal interest. The plaintiff based his claim on the fact that the appellee had been convicted in a criminal case and fined Dhs5,000 for issuing a bounced cheque with malicious intent. He submitted the judicial rulings, a certificate of non-appeal, and a reconciliation decision as evidence. The court affirmed that the appellee's fault was established by a previous criminal judgment, which caused the plaintiff both material and moral harm. The judgment confirmed that the appellee had issued a Dhs50,000 cheque without sufficient funds, leading to a Dhs5,000 fine and that the ruling was final. The court clarified that the criminal judgment conclusively established the appellee's wrongdoing, preventing the court from re-examining the facts or disputing the ruling. The court found that the plaintiff had indeed suffered harm due to the appellee's action, including the issuance of a worthless cheque, which led to legal proceedings, expenses, and emotional distress. Accordingly, the court awarded the plaintiff Dhs10,000 as compensation for both material and moral damages.
