He was then made to believe he had won the case and was asked to pay sums of money to the firm's bank account to which he transferred sums of money totalling the claimed amount before he discovered that he had been defrauded.

The plaintiff filed a lawsuit against a law firm in which he requested the court to obligate it to pay him Dhs503,591, this being the original amount that the firm seized from him, plus a legal interest at 9 per cent from the date of the legal claim until full payment.
