Woman told to pay man Dhs10,000 over assault

ABU DHABI: Abu Dhabi Court of Family, Civil and Administrative Cases obligated a woman to pay Dhs10,000 in compensation to a man with whom she was in a relationship, but she assaulted and beat him.

The details date back to the time when a man filed a lawsuit against a woman in which he requested that she be obligated to pay him Dhs50,000 in compensation for the material and moral damages he incurred, as well as obligating her to pay fees and expenses of the lawsuit and the lawyer’s fees.

The plaintiff said that the appellee hit him and caused him the injuries mentioned in the medical report, and that the court convicted her in a criminal case and fined her Dhs2,000 in absentia.

The appellee appealed the ruling and the court accepted it in form but rejected it in subject. Regarding the plaintiff’s request for Dhs50,000 in material and moral compensation, the court said that the appellee’s mistake was proved according to the criminal ruling, and the plaintiff suffered material and moral damages, therefore, the court obligated the appellee to pay Dhs10,000 to the plaintiff in compensation for all damages.

Recently, the Abu Dhabi Family, Civil and Administrative Cases Court obligated a couple to pay Dhs500,000 for fraudulently buying a person’s car against a non-cashable forged cheque and using a false name.

Earlier, a car owner filed a lawsuit in which he requested the court to obligate three people to pay him Dhs405,000, this being the price of the car they had stolen, plus Dhs100,000 as a compensation with a 12 per cent interest.

He explained that ater he offered his car for sale on an electronic plaform, he received a call from a woman who negotiated the price with him but he insisted on the offered price, he said.

“The woman told him that her husband agreed to buy the car. When the woman came to see the car owner, she told him that her husband could not come and instead sent her to hand the cheque over to him,” car owner added.

Subsequently, the ownership of the car was transferred in the husband’s name and the owner received a cheque from her.

Later, the husband transferred the ownership of the car in the name of a third person, but when the car owner tried to cash the cheque, it turned out that it was forged, so he reported the incident to the police and a lawsuit was filed under which the couple were convicted.
