Hello everyone.
Remember what Georges Dalton said in september 2009?
"I m quite confident that the US court will vindicate the decision of the Dubai court and find that he defrauded us."
http://www.thenational.ae/news/uae-news ... ubai-worldWhat a slap on the face, the court found the exact opposite.
It was a complicated case, however these are the facts:
Dubai World lost on all 5 counts stated in its civil complaint against me. Dubai World had sued me for breach of contract, fraudulent representation regarding my abilities as an expert submarine designer, negligent representation regarding same, breach of fiduciary duty and conversion. The jury found that I was not liable under any of these counts and found in my favor. It was "NO" across the verdict form.
The Judge, not the jury, in a summary judgment found Seahorse Submarines liable for 2 subs that were partially built. Seahorse was closed in 2006, this ruling will lead to nowhere.
However this is a warning that no one should ever trust the words of an Emirati, I moved these 2 subs to Dubai with me, without amending the contract, 2 years later Bin Sulayem turned on his words and and claimed the 2 subs were not completed when it was him who asked me to put them on hold.
Dubai World spent $8 million dollars, put huge ressources, 15 lawyers against one, private investigators, IT court room, 50,000 documents, travels back in forth to Dubai, London, Florida.......to claim $1M????
It did not make any sense. This was a smear campaign and attack to go after my book and prevent me to produce a movie.
They miserably failed, you should have seen them in court, fuming and red, the book goes on, there will be a second one, and a blockbuster movie.
On my side, i was bombarded with accusations, leaving me with no time to defend my claims for abuse of process, also the judge did not alllow me to present 2 witnesses, also victim of abuse of process at the hand of Dubai World.
So , i am happy i won, I restored my reputation and cleared my name, i am disapointed my claims for abuse of process were not understood.
It also proves that Dubai Justice system is corrupt, it is state sponsored extortion. Dubai World uses the judicial system for commercial purpose, threatening expatriates with prison and using the confiscation of their passports to force confessions and extortions.
Now I will soon build submarines, here in Florida, and Dubai World will go bankrupt, I dont give them 1 year, may be 2.
