Father and son ordered to cover Dh392,632 hospital expenses in Dubai court decision
A Dubai court has ruled in favour of a private hospital, ordering a patient and his son to pay Dh392,632 to cover the cost of the patient's treatment.
The court case was related to the patient's treatment at the hospital, where he received extensive care for heart problems. The patient was admitted to a private room and received continuous examinations and medical care.
The son had initially provided a signed guarantee to cover the bill for the hospital treatment. However, he later failed to appear at court hearings and refused to settle the debt despite being presented with detailed invoices and supporting records.
The court's decision was based on the fact that the father had received medical services documented by invoices, and the son had signed a written pledge to cover the bill. The court emphasised that contracts are binding on all parties, and the son had committed in writing to pay for the hospital treatment.
The hospital filed a lawsuit demanding payment of the outstanding bill plus legal interest. Neither the son nor the father submitted proof of payment or objections to the charges.
The court ruled that both the father and son were jointly liable for the debt. The court documents detail the hospital's claims about the outstanding bill and the legal interest demanded.
The search results do not provide information about the son's current status or any further legal action that may be taken against him. The case serves as a reminder of the importance of honouring one's commitments, especially in matters related to healthcare and financial obligations.
