DIFC 111/2024
Nelson v Nicolyne
The original dispute involved amounts owed for property management. A key issue was whether there were grounds for appeal.
Background
The Claimant, Nelson sought permission to appeal the judgment of H.E. Justice Maha Al Mheiri given on 15 July 2024 dismissing Nelson’s claim against the Defendant for the sum of AED 15,000 in respect of services rendered by Nelson in the management of an apartment owned by Ms Nicolyne .
Nelson’s Appeal Notice dated 25 July 2024 relied upon a single ground of appeal, namely that the decision was wrong. The respects in which it was alleged the decision was wrong were not stated. Under RDC 53.87, the Court would allow an appeal where the decision was wrong and by RDC 53.90(1) permission to appeal may be given only where the Court considered that the appeal would have a real prospect of success, that was to say, a more than fanciful prospect of success.
