Abu Dhabi court orders parent to pay Dhs62,129 to university
Abu Dhabi Family, Civil, and Administrative Cases Court ordered a parent to pay Dhs60,129, along with a fine of Dhs2,000, to the university where his son was enrolled. The amount represents outstanding tuition fees, despite repeated communication, payment notices, and a settlement offer, which the parent did not adhere to. In the case details, a university filed a lawsuit demanding the parent of a student pay Dhs60,129, plus a 12% legal interest until full payment, and D5,000 as interim compensation for damages resulted from the non-payment. The university also requested the parent cover court fees and attorney's fees. After hearing the appellee, the court noted that he did not deny the claim was correct. Consequently, the court ordered him to pay the university Dhs60,129 but rejected the 12% interest claim. The court determined that the appellee's action caused material damage to the plaintiff and assessed the compensation due at Dhs2,000 for all damages incurred.

Broome County Sheriff, Undersheriff discuss leadership skills
TOWN OF DICKINSON, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – Broome County Sheriff Fred Akshar and his Undersheriff Sam Davis were presenters at a networking event on Thursday, not to discuss law enforcement, but leadership skills instead. Akshar and Davis were guests of the Upstate New York Business Meet-Up, which is co-organized by Davis's wife Amira. Aside from their law enforcement careers, both Akshar and the Davis's run consulting firms. Akshar Consulting focuses on security strategies for businesses and large events. The Davis's operate D5 Consulting Group which offers training in leadership and workplace violence prevention. They believe leadership training is ineffective or non-existent in many businesses and organizations. 'I worked at a company before where I did training and it was on a computer. What would I do on a computer? I would sit at the computer, and I would hit the fast forward button and I wouldn't pay any attention to anything that I was supposed to be learning or absorbing,' said Amira. 'There can only be one true leader. But as my role is, as a number two with him, I think it's a different perspective. Talking about your perspective of each person's role, knowing the role is very important,' said Sam. Amira says D5 runs trainings that are interactive and participatory. She says building relationships is key to good leadership. Akshar founded his small consulting business in 2019 when he was still a State Senator. Now, he oversees a Sheriff's Office with nearly 300 employees. 'It's really about empowerment and it's really about team for both Sam and I. We've come to find that as the leaders of the organization, you can set mission, you can set direction, but at the end of the day, it really requires you to bring the collective group of people together to execute that mission,' said Akshar. The Upstate New York Business Meet-Up is a free monthly event meant to encourage networking across the Southern Tier. It meets every third Thursday of the month from 9 to 10:30 a.m. in a different location between Binghamton, Elmira, Corning, Watkins Glen and Ithaca. For more information, click here.

Dubai court orders man to return Dhs13,000 mistakenly transferred to his account
The Misdemeanour and Violations Court in Dubai convicted an Asian national of seizing Dhs13,000 which was mistakenly transferred to his account and he refused to return the amount. The court also fined him D5,000 and ordered him to return the money to its owner. The case dates back to December 2024, when a woman accidentally transferred Dhs13,000 to the suspect's account via her bank account. Upon realising her mistake, she instantly contacted him and demanded the return of her money, but he refused. After several unsuccessful attempts with him, she filed an official complaint with the authorities, accusing him of unlawfully seizing her money. The victim confirmed that she did not know the suspect and had attempted to contact him as soon as she discovered the error, but he refused to return the amount. She provided all evidence of the transfer, including the transaction receipt and account details. On being interrogated, the suspect did not deny that the amount was in his account but claimed he had committed no crime, arguing he was not obligated to return the money. After reviewing the evidence and statements of the victim and the suspect, the court concluded that he intentionally retained the money despite knowing it was not his, constituting unlawful seizure of another's property. Consequently, the court ordered him to return the amount and fined him Dhs5,000.
