⚖️ Bounced Cheque — Civil & Criminal 🏛 UAE Courts 💰 AED 500,000 in dispute
A successful businessman — we will call him S.R. — had known his friend for years. They had shared meals, trusted each other, and done business together. That trust was a serious mistake.
A signed blank cheque disappeared from his office. Before he could understand what had happened, the cheque had been filled in — AED 2,000,000 — and submitted for deposit by his supposed friend. We will call him A.K. The cheque bounced. A.K. went straight to the police.
S.R. fought the criminal case with a lawyer. But the court ruled against him and he was fined AED 200,000. A.K. did not stop there: he took the matter to civil court seeking the full amount, and obtained AED 500,000 from our client's funds. Two courts. Two losses. At this point most people would have given up. S.R. did not.
The file was heavy and the rulings were stacked against him. We read every document, studied every ruling, and found what had been missed in the previous legal representation. We helped build the appeal file from scratch.
The ruling came in our client's favour at the appeal stage. A.K. refused to accept it and took the case to cassation. It did not work. The cassation ruling also came in our client's favour.
S.R. is on the path to recovering his funds through civil enforcement proceedings.
A signed blank cheque is one of the most dangerous documents under UAE law. It is treated as a legally binding financial instrument the moment someone writes an amount on it. Never leave signed cheques unattended. Never hand them to anyone without filling in the amount yourself.
A lost case is not always a closed case. Sometimes the problem is in how the file was read, not in the right itself.
⚖️ Civil Claim — Concealed Material Defect 🏛 UAE Courts 🚗 Rescission of Sale Contract
Our client purchased a car from a showroom inside the UAE. Nothing suggested a problem: the contract was signed, the price was paid, and the car was running.
But months after the purchase, he discovered what he had not known: the car had been classified by the insurance company as a Total Loss — a complete write-off — due to a serious accident it had sustained before the sale. This was not disclosed. It was not mentioned. And it was not apparent in any document or information provided to the buyer at the time of purchase.
When the showroom was contacted, the response was denial. The showroom denied knowledge of the car's history and insurance classification, and refused to take the car back or refund the amount. Our client had two choices: accept what had happened, or find a real legal path. He chose the second.
Documents were studied, the file was prepared, and a civil claim was filed seeking rescission of the sale contract and full refund of the price. We maintained a clear position: the buyer would not have agreed to purchase this car, or would not have agreed to purchase it at the same price, had he known its true condition and insurance history before completing the transaction.
The defect was not apparent. The information was material. And the failure to disclose a fact that touched the subject matter of the contract and the value of the car was a principal basis for the claim.
Concealing material defects in cars — especially when related to serious accidents or a Total Loss insurance classification — may entitle the buyer to seek rescission of the contract and recovery of the amount, once it is established that the defect existed before the sale and was not disclosed.
Buying a used car does not mean accepting all hidden risks. If you discover after purchase that the car was involved in a serious accident, was classified as an insurance write-off, or that material information about its condition was concealed — you may have a legal path to claim your rights.
The case is not always about the car itself — sometimes it is about the information that was hidden at the time of sale.
