The court of first instance’s decision to order two women to return Dhs1.5 million to another woman in a gold rental case, together with Dhs250,000 in compensation, was affirmed by the Abu Dhabi Family, Civil and Administrative Cases Court.
In specifics, the plaintiff sued two ladies and asked that they pay her Dhs1.5 million, which is the amount of the stolen gold, as well as Dhs800,000 in legal interest, which would accrue at a rate of 12% from the date of the case until the whole amount was paid. Additionally, the plaintiff is requesting payment for their legal bills and attorney’s expenses. The plaintiff claimed in her case that the defendants had paid her Dhs170,000 to rent gold worth Dhs1.5 million.
They sold it without returning it, despite having signed a promissory note and a guarantee check for the gold’s value. As a result, a criminal case was brought and a verdict was rendered.
The plaintiff filed the aforementioned complaint because the defendants’ acts caused her to suffer both material harm the loss of the gold and lost profits and moral harm.
In addition to Dhs250,000 in compensation, the court of first instance decided that the two ladies should pay the plaintiff Dhs1.5 million in damages. The two women, however, appealed this decision, citing flawed logic and insufficient proof as reason.
