After three men violated a settlement agreement requiring them to pay a sum in exchange for the plaintiff waiving a criminal complaint, the Dubai Civil Court ordered them to jointly pay a woman Dhs2.1 million, plus 5% annual interest from the date the lawsuit was filed until full payment. The specifics go back to a time when a woman sued a guy for alleged fraud, breach of trust, and forgery.
Negotiations during the proceedings resulted in the signature of a settlement agreement in April 2026, wherein the appellee and two other parties agreed to provide the plaintiff a cheque for Dhs2.1 million in exchange for her dropping the criminal prosecution and complaint.
Despite her repeated requests, the appellees refused to provide her the cheque or its value, despite the plaintiff’s explanation that she had fulfilled her commitment and submitted her waiver to the Public Prosecution, which was attached to the case file.
After speaking with the Public Prosecution, the plaintiff also realised that the money the appellees had deposited was not for her benefit but rather as a financial guarantee for the process of lifting one of their travel bans. This confirmed to the court that the appellees had not fulfilled their end of the bargain.
