Dubai heirs seek Dh8.6m over undelivered luxury car

## Court Case Overview

A legal dispute involving a luxury car purchase has been redirected from a Dubai civil court to the inheritance court. The heirs of a deceased individual are seeking to recover Dh8.6 million, which was paid for a limited-edition Aston Martin that was never delivered.

## Background of the Dispute

The deceased had entered into an agreement to buy the high-end vehicle from two companies. Despite full payment being made through bank transfers, the car was not delivered. The buyer had initially requested the car be sold if a buyer was found, but later asked for its delivery. Unfortunately, he passed away before the issue was resolved.

## Legal Proceedings

The heirs have presented evidence, including bank transfers and correspondence, to support their claim for a refund. One of the companies involved has contested the claim on procedural grounds. The civil court, citing Dubai’s Decree No. 25 of 2023, determined that the inheritance court has exclusive jurisdiction over such estate-related disputes.

## Next Steps

The case has been transferred to the inheritance court, with the civil court deferring the decision on legal costs until a final ruling is made. The involvement of minors among the heirs has also led to the matter being referred to the Public Prosecution.
