Al Ain Court fines woman for harassment via WhatsApp
The suspect was reportedly convicted for this act in a criminal case.
Details date back to the time when a woman filed a lawsuit against another, demanding compensation of Dhs100,000 for the material and moral damages she incurred, in addition to legal fees and expenses.
The plaintiff stated that the appellee had threatened and harassed her via WhatsApp, adding that she had been convicted in a criminal case, a ruling upheld by the Court of Appeals.
The court clarified that the appellee's fault was proved, resulting in psychological and material harm to the plaintiff.
Consequently, the court ordered the appellee to compensate the plaintiff with Dhs20,000 for all material and moral damages incurred.

Bank's marketing representative fined Dhs10,000 for repeatedly calling customers
Abu Dhabi Family, Civil and Administrative Cases Court ruled that a marketing representative be obligated to pay a man Dhs10,000 plus the incurred fees and expenses for repeated calls he made to promote and market the products of a bank. Earlier, a marketing representative at a bank was in the habit of repeatedly contacting customers to market the bank's products, contrary to all the other employees. The defendant annoyed a customer by calling him several times at different times, even at night, prompting him to file a criminal report against the representative with Abu Dhabi Public Prosecution. After the investigations were completed, the public prosecution referred the case to the Criminal Court, which ruled that the defendant be convicted. The customer, however, filed a lawsuit, in which he demanded that the representative and the bank be jointly obligated to pay him Dhs100,000 in compensation for the material and moral harms he suffered plus a 9 per cent legal interest per annum from the date of filing the lawsuit until full payment. He also requested the court to obligate them to pay fees, expenses and lawyer's fees. The plaintiff was represented by a lawyer who insisted on all the requests, while the marketing representative appeared in person and submitted a memorandum in which he requested that the lawsuit be dismissed and that the plaintiff be obligated to pay the fees, expenses, and lawyer's fees.

Bin Suwaidan emphasised that Dubai Police will not tolerate such reckless behaviour and will deal firmly with all forms of dangerous stunts and behaviours on the roads.

He called on the public to adhere to traffic rules and cooperate with security authorities by reporting any dangerous or suspicious behaviour through the "Police Eye" service or by calling the non-emergency number 901, to ensure the safety of all.
