A woman suing a young man for allegedly refusing to return Dh3.2 million he borrowed from her has had her case dismissed on appeal.

The Abu Dhabi Court of Appeal for Family and Civil Administrative Claims upheld the trial court’s ruling that dismissed the woman’s lawsuit for insufficient evidence.

The woman has filed a lawsuit against the man, demanding that he return the Dh3.2 million he borrowed from her.

The plaintiff stated that she had a social relationship with the defendant, and the defendant asked her to lend him money so that she could invest in real estate projects, which would bring them huge profits.

She said she lent him Dh3.2 million and the plaintiff also asked her to sign for him bad checks which would be used in his investment fields as security for the purchase of some properties in installments. She said she handed him the check because of her trust in him.

The woman noted that when she asked the man to return the money and the check after a certain period of time, he refused, so she filed criminal charges against him.

The plaintiff also attached to her claim a document containing scanned copies of WhatsApp messages, cash deposit receipts and bank transfers from the defendant’s bank account.

The man denied the woman’s claims, emphasizing that the plaintiff gave him Dh2.8 million for joint investment. He said she also wrote the check in his name and her claim that he refused to return the money or the check was baseless.

The court of first instance had previously ruled to dismiss the case on the grounds of insufficient evidence and ordered the plaintiff to bear the defendant’s litigation costs.

The woman challenged the decision to the Court of Appeal, which upheld the lower court’s decision.
