ADCC 1008/2009

The original dispute involved a request to dismiss a sales contract for a flat and provide compensation. The decision was appealed on the grounds that the evidence was contradictory. The appeal was rejected as the claimant had not detailed the contradictions in their appeal document.

Background

A claimant filed a case against a company and requested the court dismiss the sale contract for a flat with a company and orders the company to pay 538,000 AED.

The court rejected the case.

The claimant appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court upheld the ruling.

Decision

The claimant appealed the ruling before the court of cassation and stated in his grounds of appeal that the ruling had insufficient evidence of causation because it had contradicted itself.

The court stated this argument was invalid because Article 177 of the Civil Procedures Law stipulated that the appeal document should include the reasons behind an appeal. The court stated that the claimant had not shown the contradictions that the ruling included.

The court dismissed the appeal.
