Woman fined Dhs50,000 for leaking information
The Abu Dhabi Family, Civil, and Administrative Cases Court ordered a former employee to pay Dhs50,000 to the company she previously worked for, after she was convicted of leaking company information, despite signing a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) at the beginning of her employment. She reportedly disclosed sensitive data after resigning and receiving all her entitlements. The court also ordered her to cover the legal fees and expenses. The case dates back to when the company filed a lawsuit against the employee, who had been provided with a company email account upon signing the NDA. After her resignation, she used her company email to transfer confidential information to her personal email. The company conducted an investigation through a technology and IT expert, who affirmed in a report that the information was leaked via the employee's company email. The company then filed a complaint against her, and Abu Dhabi Criminal Court issued a preliminary ruling convicting her and fining her Dhs30,000. The company appealed the decision, demanding that the employee pay Dhs51,000, as compensation for material and moral damages, in addition to covering legal fees and expenses. The Court stated that Dhs50,000 is sufficient compensation for all damages incurred by the company. The court also ordered the employee to pay the legal fees, expenses, and attorney fees.

Court obliges employee to pay Dhs37,000 as delayed rent
The Abu Dhabi Family, Civil, and Administrative Cases Court ordered an employee to pay Dhs37,700 and vacate the accommodation provided by his former employer. The employee had failed to pay rent for a year and refused to leave the accommodation even after his job was terminated and the legal 30-day notice period had expired. The case dates back to the time when a company filed a lawsuit against a former employee, demanding the termination of the lease agreement, eviction of the employee, return of the accommodation, and payment of the outstanding rent of Dhs37,700, along with fees and expenses of the lawsuit. The company stated that the employee was provided with accommodation at an annual rent of Dhs37,700 but he failed to pay the rent for an entire year and after he was terminated, he was officially notified to vacate the premises but did not comply. In its ruling, the court noted that the company had allocated the accommodation to the employee through its housing committee. The court added that it was established that the labour contract between the company and the employee had ended. Given the employee's failure to appear in court to present his defence and his non-payment of the outstanding amount, the court ordered him to pay Dhs37,700.
