Civil Court Orders Refund And Compensation In Luxury Car Fraud Case

The Civil Court in Kuwait recently ruled in favor of a plaintiff who accused two Kuwaiti owners of a renowned car company of fraud. The lawsuit stemmed from a contract to purchase a luxury German vehicle for KD 39,000, which was later revealed to be a fraudulent transaction.

Legal Proceedings and Verdict

Lawyer Ali Al-Ali, representing the plaintiff, filed the lawsuit after his client discovered the fraudulent nature of the deal. Following a criminal court conviction, where the defendants were sentenced to prison, a civil lawsuit was initiated to recover the lost funds and seek compensation for damages.

Compensation Details

• Refund KD 39,000 to the plaintiff.
• Pay KD 500 in compensation for economic and moral damages.

Lawyer’s Appeal for Higher Compensation

Despite the awarded compensation, Lawyer Al-Ali believes the amount does not fully cover the material and moral damages his client suffered. He has appealed to the Court of Appeal’s civil division, seeking an increased compensation amount.

Importance of the Ruling

This ruling emphasizes the commitment of Kuwaiti courts to protect consumers from fraud and ensure justice for victims of economic crimes.
