If I win the fraud case against the car dealer, what's their liability for the loaned car?

Dear Sir/Madam,

I bought a car a year ago, and during its first renewal, the test suggested that there was chassis damage and tampering with the airbags.

If I file a fraud case against the used car dealer, what happens after the judgment if it's in my favor?

The car is under a bank loan, and we have paid all the monthly payments on time. Will the used car dealer be liable for the complete value, or only the remaining cost of the car?

Dear Questioner,

You have the right to file a lawsuit to annul the sales contract, return the car to him, and get your money back.

You also have the right to file a lawsuit to compel him to pay the actual value of the car, return the remainder to you, and keep the car with you.

You have only 6 months from the day you become aware of the car problem to file a lawsuit.

I only got to know a few days earlier during the car renewal, which has crossed one year since the sale.

This came to my attention only in the test report at the car testing facility. Additionally, the insurance company stated that they will not provide comprehensive insurance due to damage in the chassis.

Negotiate with him first, and if he refuses, file a lawsuit and request the court to appoint a mechanical expert to inspect the car and provide a report to the court.

I kindly request information on how much your law firm would charge to handle this case for me.

Dear Questioner,

In the United Arab Emirates (UAE), if you file a fraud case against a used car dealer and the judgment is in your favor, the potential outcomes and liabilities for the dealer will be determined based on the UAE laws and regulations governing such cases.

Regarding the specific question of whether the used car dealer will be liable for the complete value of the car or only the remaining cost, it will depend on the court's ruling and the specific circumstances of the case.

It's important to note that the UAE courts have discretion in determining the appropriate remedies and the extent of the dealer's liability based on the specific facts and circumstances of the case.

Additionally, the UAE has consumer protection laws that may provide additional remedies in cases of fraud or misrepresentation by businesses.

Please contact us for further assistance.

We look forward to the opportunity to contact you via phone or email, or to meet with you.
