How to get back money loaned to a friend and claim compensation for emotional damage?
I am seeking legal advice regarding a financial and emotional scam perpetrated by a close friend. She borrowed money from me, promising to return it but later claimed she could not.
I discovered that she has been deceiving others similarly, taking money and providing false excuses. I have evidence of her fraudulent actions and testimonials from other victims.
This betrayal has caused me significant emotional distress, including severe panic attacks, as I was already healing from past trauma and depression.
Given the emotional harm she caused, I am interested in knowing if I can seek compensation under UAE law. I live in Dubai, and she lives in Ajman.
Could you please advise if there are legal grounds for claiming compensation for emotional damage in such cases?
