The Abu Dhabi Court for Family and Civil and Administrative Cases rejected a lawsuit filed by a man in which he demanded that a woman pay him Dhs80,000, pointing out that he had tasked her to buy a horse and then he found out it was injured in foot.
The complainant also requested that the appellee be obligated to pay the fees and expenses.
The appellant added that he tasked the appellee to buy him a horse for Dhs115,000 and that he transferred her Dhs110,000, besides Dhs5,000 in cash.
Later he found that the horse had an injury, so he asked her to return it and buy another horse, but she did not do that.
He added that she returned Dhs30,000 and when he asked her to return the remaining amount, she stalled.
The court indicated that the appellant had attached messages via “WhatsApp” to his lawsuit, but the appelle’s lawyer submitted other messages, proving that the appellant knew about the horse’s injury after she sent him an x-ray of one of its feet.
The court explained that the appellant’s complainant was based on sent statements, and then dismissed the case and obligated the appellant to pay the fees and expenses.
