Q: I am into diesel trading business. One of my customers owes me AED 144,500. He issued me two cheques of 100,000 of each. He told us he had 10 heavy vehicles. We supplied diesel to him for two months. He defaulted on payments and stopped answering calls. After this default, I inquired with one of his drivers and he told me none of the 10 vehicles is owned by him. He along with his colleagues, present themselves as a transport company and defraud the diesel supplier by issuing post-dated cheques to them and selling the diesel purchased in the open market at half the price. I have already filed a cheque bounce case against him. Apart from the cheque case, can I file a cheating case against him? If possible, what are the documents required to file such a cheating case?

Although we have contact with him he is not committing as to when he will pay us. Can we file a case against him in Lebanon, and if so, how do we go about it?
