Court rejects case filed by man against former wife

Abu DHABI: The Abu Dhabi Court for Family and Civil and Administrative Cases rejected a lawsuit filed by an ex-husband who demanded to obligate his divorcee to pay him Dhs28,000, claiming that he had transferred the agreed alimony to her bank account, but she submited a petition before the execution judge stating that he had not paid the alimony, so he had to pay it again.

The details of the case date back to an earlier time, when the husband filed a lawsuit, in which he requested that his divorcee be obligated to pay Dhs28,000 to him besides the fees and expenses of the lawsuit and lawyer’s fees.

The court indicated that the complainant claimed that he had transferred Dhs28,000 to the account of his ex-wife from his bank account, but the statements which he submited to the court were not legally translated, pointing out that assuming that he had already transferred the amount, this did not prove to the court that the amount was the alimony and he did not even ask the court to give him a deadline to provide proof of his claim, and then the court rejected the case and obligated him to pay the fees and expenses.

Separately, the Dubai Criminal Court sentenced five Asians to six months in jail to be followed by deportation and fined them Dhs192,000 for stealing with others who are still at large 250 boxes containing ready-made garments and cigaretes worth Dhs192,000 from a warehouse in Ras Al Khor Industrial Area.

The case dated back to last August when a Gulf investor filed a complaint in which he stated that his warehouse in Ras Al Khor Industrial Area had been robbed. The complainant said that on the day of the incident he received a phone call from a warehouse worker telling him the warehouse had been robbed.
