Man buys 10 camels, takes delivery and refuses to pay Dh600,000

## Court Ruling on Camel Purchase

An Al Ain court has ruled that a man must pay Dh600,000 for 10 camels he purchased but did not pay for. The court's decision was based on WhatsApp messages where the buyer acknowledged the debt and promised to settle it.

## Details of the Case

The seller took legal action after the buyer received the camels but failed to make the payment. The court examined WhatsApp exchanges between the two parties, which confirmed the buyer's acknowledgment of the debt. Despite admitting to owing the amount, the buyer claimed he was unable to pay at the moment.

## Legal Basis for the Decision

The court referenced UAE evidence law, which considers an admission as a person's acknowledgment of a right owed to another. The buyer's admission during the proceedings, coupled with the WhatsApp messages, was deemed binding. The court found no evidence that the debt had been settled or extinguished for any legal reason.

## Outcome

The court ordered the buyer to pay the full amount of Dh600,000, along with court fees and expenses, to the seller.
