Al Ain court obligates a man to pay 51,430 for causing traffic accident
The Abu Dhabi Family, Civil and Administrative Cases Court has ordered a person to pay Dhs51,430 plus a fine of Dhs5,000 as a compensation to another man for damaging two vehicles while driving. Earlier, the plaintiff filed a lawsuit against the defendant in which he requested that he be obligated to pay Dhs51,430, which was the cost of repair for his damaged car plus Dhs75,000 as the rental of a car of the same type that he had to rent while his car was under repair. He also requested the court to obligate the defendant to pay the incurred charges, expenses and lawyer's fees. The plaintiff pleaded that the defendant caused damage to his vehicle, noting that the defendant was convicted of the charge in a lawsuit that had already been filed against. In support of his lawsuit, the plaintiff attached to his docket a copy of the traffic accident report and a copy of the supervising judge's decision to appoint a technical expert to investigate the issue and assess the cost of repair of the plaintiff's vehicle. The technical expert decided that the total repair costs of Dhs51,430 as incurred by the plaintiff were reasonable and in line with the extent of the damages resulting from the accident, assuming that he had bought original spare parts. As for the plaintiff's request for Dhs75,000 as a compensation for not being able to use his car for approximately 6 months from the date of the accident until the date of the actual repair of the car, the court estimated that a Dhs5,000 compensation for the material harms caused to the plaintiff due to the defendant's error would be sufficient.

Woman obligated to pay Dha15,000 to another on assault charges in Abu Dhabi
The Abu Dhabi Family, Civil and Administrative Cases Court has obligated a woman to pay a compensation of Dhs15,000 to another woman for assaulting her and causing injuries that left her unable to perform her work for over 20 days. Earlier, the plaintiff filed a lawsuit against the defendant in which she requested that she be obligated to pay her Dhs51,000 in compensation for the material and moral harms she suffered plus the legal interest and the incurred fees and charges. The plaintiff pleaded that the defendant assaulted her and caused her injuries as a result of which she could not go to work for more than twenty days, adding that a criminal case was accordingly filed in Abu Dhabi and she was convicted and that the issued verdict became final because it was not appealed to. The harms she sustained prompted her to file this lawsuit with the aforementioned requests, the plaintiff said. She supported her lawsuit with a decision from the mediation and conciliation centre, a copy of the verdict and a police report. The court stated that Article 282 of the Civil Code stipulates that whoever causes harm to another - whether on purpose or by accident - is responsible for covering the damages. It is well established from the facts and documents that the plaintiff suffered harms after the defendant had assaulted her and caused her to be unable to carry out her personal job for no more than 20 days, the court said. Based on the claimed harms, the moral harms and the psychological pain, grief and sorrow that the plaintiff suffered over the injuries that occurred to her body, the court estimated the material and moral compensation for the plaintiff at Dhs15,000.

Abu Dhabi man told to return Dhs25,262 he fraudulently used through another person's credit card
The Abu Dhabi Family, Civil and Administrative Cases Court obligated a person to return Dhs25,262 to another man and fined him Dhs3,000 after the former used the latter's credit card to buy tickets to a UAE museum via the Google search engine. After the amount had been deducted from his account, the victim learned that he was a victim of fraud and consequently filed a lawsuit against the defendant, who was convicted of embezzlement. Under the lawsuit he filed, the plaintiff requesting the court to obligate the defendant to pay him Dhs51,000 as the value of the financial claim plus a compensation for the material and psychological harms he sustained and settle the incurred fees and expenses. As evidence of his lawsuit, the plaintiff submitted photocopies of the referral decision from the Alternative Dispute Resolution Department and the verdict issued in a previous lawsuit in which the defendant was convicted in absentia and fined Dhs30,000. The plaintiff pleaded that the defendant embezzled money from his credit card to buy tickets for a UAE museum, adding that he later received a one-time password and Dhs25,262 was deducted from his account with Abu Dhabi bank. He then learned that he was a victim of fraud and consequently filed a lawsuit under which the defendant was convicted of embezzlement. The plaintiff stated that as he suffered material and moral harms in his personal life, given that he was the sole breadwinner for his family, was undergoing medical treatment and needed money to pay to his bank, he was prompted to file the present lawsuit. The court explained that it was evident that the defendant was convicted of illegally using the data of the plaintiff's credit card with the intention of embezzling a sum of money owned by the plaintiff through an information technology means, as stated in the papers. Further investigations showed that the beneficiary of the purchases made via the plaintiff's credit card was the defendant and that there was no relationship between the two parties. As the defendant appeared before the court but did not provide evidence that he had returned the amount, the court ruled that he be obligated to return the amount claimed. As far as the request for compensation is concerned, the court stated that the defendant had committed an error by unlawfully embezzling the amounts claimed, which resulted in material harm on the part of the plaintiff. Taking into consideration the moral harms that the plaintiff sustained due to what the defendant did as embodied by grief and sorrow, the court estimated the compensation due to be paid by the defendant to the plaintiff at Dhs3,000.

Abu Dhabi court fines maid Dhs10,000 for treating child harshly
Abu Dhabi Family, Civil, and Administrative Cases Court ordered a maid to pay Dhs10,000 in compensation to her employer, whose infant child she was responsible for caring for. Surveillance footage revealed that the maid had treated the child harshly, causing him physical and psychological harm. In the case details, the employer filed a lawsuit against the maid, demanding she pay Dhs51,000 in compensation for the material and psychological damages caused to his infant child, along with a 12% delay interest from the date of the lawsuit until full payment. He also requested she cover the court fees and expenses. The plaintiff stated that the appellee worked for him as a maid to care for his infant child. Surveillance footage revealed that she treated the child harshly, resulting in physical and psychological harm and she was previously fined Dhs3,000 under a criminal judgment and ordered to pay court fees. The court clarified that the appellee had harmed the child's body, as evidenced by damage to his leg observed in surveillance footage, which showed the maid's harsh treatment. When questioned, the maid denied the allegations, claiming that when her employer asked about the injuries to the child's leg, she told him she had held the child by his leg while playing with him, adding that she cared for the child daily until his mother returned from university. The court stated that, according to the criminal court's ruling, the plaintiff's claims were valid and based on the final criminal judgment, the appellee's actions caused psychological and physical harm to the child, so the court assessed the compensation due at Dhs10,000 for all damages incurred by the child.
