An Appellant filed lawsuit No. 3446/2024 Commercial (Simple) Abu Dhabi against a Respondent, seeking a judgment to compel the Respondent to pay AED 670,424.32 and oblige them to pay legal interest at 4.95% per annum from the date of filing the lawsuit until full payment. This was based on the claim that they had granted the Respondent a banking facility in the form of a Murabaha facility worth AED 573,615 and the Respondent had ceased paying the instalments due, resulting in the accumulated amount claimed. This prompted them to file this lawsuit.
