These brand-new Yas Island residences completely sold out in one day
Yas Island just dropped a major flex. The capital's hottest new address – the Waldorf Astoria Residences Yas – sold out all 133 units in just one day. That's Dhs850 million in sales before the ink was even dry, setting a new price-per-square-metre record for the island at a jaw-dropping Dhs37,000. That's not just a splash; that's a cannonball into the deep end of the luxury market. So, what makes this place so irresistible? Think five-star hotel service, panoramic views over Yas Links Golf Course and the Yas Marina Circuit and ultra-luxe living from a brand that practically invented glamour. It's Waldorf Astoria's first-ever residential project in Abu Dhabi and clearly, that name still carries serious weight – especially when teamed up with Yas Island's global clout. Buyers weren't just local, either. The biggest chunk of interest came from the UK, China and the UAE, with 76 percent of the sales going to expats and international investors. First-time Aldar buyers made up 70 percent of the buyers and here's a stat that might surprise you – 66 percent of buyers were under 45. So, yes, luxury living is getting younger, faster and savvier. The homes range from stylish one-beds to sprawling four-bedroom penthouses, each fully furnished and built for people who expect their homes to come with concierge service, resort-level amenities and bragging rights. Set right on Yas Island, you're never far from a mega-mall, a race track, a rollercoaster or an award-winning meal – this is living large, Abu Dhabi style. And if you missed out? Consider it a wake-up call. Yas Island is only getting hotter and Aldar clearly knows how to throw a launch.

Court obliges law firm to pay Dhs27,000 to client for failing to fulfil contract in UAE
Al Ain Court for Civil, Commercial, and Administrative Cases ordered a law firm to pay Dhs27,000 to one of its clients, who had contracted the firm to represent him in several lawsuits and paid the required fees, but the firm failed to file some of the cases, did not complete the filing of others, and filed some in a manner inconsistent with legal requirements. The client filed a lawsuit against the law firm, demanding the return of Dhs27,000, an additional Dhs20,000, in compensation, and the payment of legal fees and expenses. The plaintiff stated that he paid Dhs30,000, with Dhs3,000 allocated as a symbolic fee for the appellee but the latter failed to fulfill its obligations. The plaintiff provided evidence, including copies of receipts and bank transfer slips issued by the appellee. The appellee argued that they had fulfilled their duties as required, contrary to the plaintiff's claims, and submitted a memorandum with evidence, including a power of attorney, a cheque copy, and a bank account opening form. The court verified that the plaintiff had paid the appellee Dhs37,600. However, the appellee failed to prove they had fulfilled their obligations. The court determined that the appellee's actions did not justify the amount received and ordered the law firm to pay the plaintiff Dhs27,000.
