Woman obligated to pay Dha15,000 to another on assault charges in Abu Dhabi
The Abu Dhabi Family, Civil and Administrative Cases Court has obligated a woman to pay a compensation of Dhs15,000 to another woman for assaulting her and causing injuries that left her unable to perform her work for over 20 days. Earlier, the plaintiff filed a lawsuit against the defendant in which she requested that she be obligated to pay her Dhs51,000 in compensation for the material and moral harms she suffered plus the legal interest and the incurred fees and charges. The plaintiff pleaded that the defendant assaulted her and caused her injuries as a result of which she could not go to work for more than twenty days, adding that a criminal case was accordingly filed in Abu Dhabi and she was convicted and that the issued verdict became final because it was not appealed to. The harms she sustained prompted her to file this lawsuit with the aforementioned requests, the plaintiff said. She supported her lawsuit with a decision from the mediation and conciliation centre, a copy of the verdict and a police report. The court stated that Article 282 of the Civil Code stipulates that whoever causes harm to another - whether on purpose or by accident - is responsible for covering the damages. It is well established from the facts and documents that the plaintiff suffered harms after the defendant had assaulted her and caused her to be unable to carry out her personal job for no more than 20 days, the court said. Based on the claimed harms, the moral harms and the psychological pain, grief and sorrow that the plaintiff suffered over the injuries that occurred to her body, the court estimated the material and moral compensation for the plaintiff at Dhs15,000.

Court dismisses school's claims over unpaid fees, orders it to issue school leaving certificate to student
The Abu Dhabi Family, Civil, and Administrative Cases Court has ordered a school to issue a school leaving certificate to a student after the school refused to do so, claiming unpaid fees. The case began when the student's guardian filed a lawsuit in the Abu Dhabi Simple Commercial Court against the school for withholding the certificate despite full payment of fees. The court ruled it lacked jurisdiction and referred the case to the Simple Civil Circuit of the Abu Dhabi Court of First Instance. The school submitted a counterclaim stating the guardian owed Dhs15,800 in outstanding fees. The judge appointed an expert to investigate, and the court reopened the case for further arguments. The court initially dismissed the lawsuit and ordered the student and guardian to pay court fees. The guardian appealed, requesting the school be compelled to issue the certificate and the Court of Appeal reviewed the case, noting the guardian's claim that all fees had been paid. The school asserted the total fees were Dhs35,800, with Dhs15,800 still outstanding. The Appellate Court ruled in favour of the student, ordering the school to issue the certificate. It emphasised that withholding a student's certificate due to unpaid fees is unlawful, as it violates the student's right to education. The court also ordered the school to bear the appeal costs.
