Al Ain man buys vehicle for Dhs11,500 but pays only Dhs300, court tells him to pay remaining amount
Al Ain Court for Civil, Commercial and Administrative Cases obligated a person to pay Dhs11,200 to another for abstaining from settling the remaining price of a vehicle already delivered to him. The defendant paid only Dhs300 although he had an agreement with the plaintiff to buy the vehicle for a specific sum of money. Earlier, the plaintiff filed a lawsuit in which he requested the court to obligate the defendant to pay him Dhs11,200 plus Dhs3,000 in compensation for the material and moral harms and the legal expenses and fees. The plaintiff pleaded that pursuant to an agreement between them, he sold the vehicle subject of the lawsuit to the defendant for Dhs11,500 but the latter paid only Dhs300 and refused to pay the remainder despite the expiry of the agreed-upon period. This caused him material and moral harms and prompted him to file this lawsuit to obtain a verdict in his favour, he said. To support his lawsuit, the plaintiff submitted a copy of the sales contract. After reviewing the case, the court was hereby satisfied that the plaintiff was entitled to what he was requesting, especially since the defendant did not dispute the validity of the debt and did not present anything that contradicted the related documents. Based on this, the court ruled that the plaintiff's requests be fulfilled and the remaining amount stated in the sales contract be paid. As far as the compensation claim was concerned, the court stated that according to Article 292 of the Civil Transactions Law, compensation should cover both the actual loss suffered by the victim and any loss of profit, provided that these are a direct consequence of the harmful act. As the plaintiff, with whom the burden of proof lies, neither explained the nature of the harms nor the losses he sustained as a result of what the defendant did, the court hereby rejected this claim as it stood.

Two men ordered to pay Dhs20,000 to a woman for providing a sick maid in UAE
The Al Ain Court of Civil, Commercial and Administrative Cases obligated two men to pay a woman Dhs20,000 including a fine of Dhs5,000 as compensation after the latter had recruited a maid from them who was found to be sick and needed surgery. After checking with them to return the maid and receive the money she had paid back, the defendants refused to return the money. It was proved to the court that the defendants had been acting as intermediaries to bring in workers without obtaining a permit from the competent authority. Earlier, a woman filed a lawsuit against two men in which she asked the court to obligate them to pay her Dhs30,000 as compensation for the physical and moral harms she sustained together with the incurred fees and expenses. The woman pleaded that she had hired a maid from the defendants for Dhs15,000 only to discover later that she was sick and needed surgery. When she checked with the defendants to return the maid and receive get her money back, they refused to pay the money back. The defendants were convicted under a lawsuit that was upheld by a verdict issued by the Court of Cassation, given the several harms that the plaintiff sustained. The court explained that it was evident from the documents that the cause of the harms required to be compensated was the error of the two defendants who acted as an intermediary to recruit the maid and receive the needed money from the victim - the plaintiff's son - without obtaining a permit from the competent authority. Based on this, the court's role is limited to estimating the due compensation only, in which case, the physical compensation is estimated as Dhs15,000 and the due moral compensation as Dhs5,000.
