The Defendants caused a fire in the building as a result of their negligence, resulting in damage to it, which was estimated to be the amount claimed. The amount of 347,000 AED included the damage and plus 9500 AED.

When the Appellant paid this amount to his insurer, the lessor, and replaced him in the claim of the Defendants which refrained from paying it, so the case was filed against them.
