Man to pay back Dhs4,000 after failing to secure job, housing for plaintiff's sister in UAE
Al Ain Civil, Commercial and Administrative Cases Court obligated a man to pay Dhs4,000 to another after the latter paid the same as a down payment to secure a job and accommodation for his sister in exchange for Dhs8,000. The defendant, however, failed to comply. Earlier, a man filed a lawsuit, at the end of which he requested the court to obligate the other party to pay him Dhs26,000 plus the incurred legal expenses and fees. The plaintiff said the defendant agreed to provide residence and a job for his sister in exchange for 8,000, of which he paid Dhs4,000 as a down payment. The defendant, however, did not apply for the residence visa for the plaintiff's sister, causing harms to the plaintiff as embodied in the amounts paid for airway tickets of Dhs5,000, a tourist visa of Dhs2,000 and rent of Dhs15,000. The defendant submitted a response memorandum, in which he asserted that the plaintiff was not entitled to claim the cost of the tourist visa, the rent, and the airway tickets. At the same time, the defendant acknowledged receiving Dhs4,000 for finalizing the visa transaction for the plaintiff's sister but due to circumstances beyond his company's control, he could not complete the transaction. The plaintiff noted that he had no objection to returning the down payment without any compensations. Based on the above, the court obligated the defendant to return Dhs4,000 to the plaintiff and pay the incurred fees and expenses.

Motorist detained over a hit-and-run and concealing evidence charges in Dubai
Counselor Salah Boufrousha Al Falasi, Senior Advocate General and Head of the Traffic Prosecution in Dubai, announced two individuals have been arrested over charges of hit and run and concealing evidence. The first is a 33-year-old Indian man, who is involved in a hit-and-run accident that left a person seriously injured. He is also accused of failing to stop at the scene or provide necessary assistance and first aid. The second accused is a Pakistani national who repaired the vehicle involved in the accident without obtaining a repair permit from the relevant traffic control authority. Al Falasi explained that the incident took place on July 20, 2025, when a pedestrian was struck by a vehicle on an internal street in the Hor Al Anz area. The pedestrian sustained severe physical injuries as a result of the incident and was transferred to a medical facility for treatment. This incident occurred due to a combination of negligence, inattention and a lack of consideration for other road users, Salah Al Falasi said. He commended the vigilance and rapid response of the Dubai Police security teams, who arrested the driver and manager of the vehicle repair centre within 48 hours, demonstrating their professionalism. Al Falasi also confirmed that the Traffic Prosecution began investigating the accident immediately after the perpetrators were arrested. The first has been charged with failing to stop at the scene of the accident, which resulted in bodily injury and property damage. The second defendant, who manages the vehicle repair centre, charged with obstructing judicial procedures by repairing a vehicle with signs of an accident without obtaining a permit from the relevant traffic control authority. The prosecution ordered the detention of the accused pending investigation, to monitor the health of the injured person and determine their final medical condition, and to hear the testimony of those responsible for the arrest. This is in preparation for taking the necessary measures to refer the accused to trial and demand harsher penalties in accordance with relevant local and federal legislation. Counselor Salah Boufrousha Al Falasi called on drivers to exercise the utmost care and caution when driving on the roads and to comply with all legal and safety requirements to ensure the safety of all road users and protect public and private property. He also stressed the importance of not fleeing the scene of an accident involving bodily injury, except in cases of extreme necessity, and of reporting the relevant authorities in the emirate within three hours of the accident. This is in accordance with the latest amendment to the Traffic Law, which came into force on 29 March 2025. The law stipulates a penalty of imprisonment for a period not exceeding one year and a fine of not less than Dhs50,000 and not more than Dhs100,000, or one of these two penalties.
