Woman fined Dhs50,000 for leaking information
The Abu Dhabi Family, Civil, and Administrative Cases Court ordered a former employee to pay Dhs50,000 to the company she previously worked for, after she was convicted of leaking company information, despite signing a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) at the beginning of her employment. She reportedly disclosed sensitive data after resigning and receiving all her entitlements. The court also ordered her to cover the legal fees and expenses. The case dates back to when the company filed a lawsuit against the employee, who had been provided with a company email account upon signing the NDA. After her resignation, she used her company email to transfer confidential information to her personal email. The company conducted an investigation through a technology and IT expert, who affirmed in a report that the information was leaked via the employee's company email. The company then filed a complaint against her, and Abu Dhabi Criminal Court issued a preliminary ruling convicting her and fining her Dhs30,000. The company appealed the decision, demanding that the employee pay Dhs51,000, as compensation for material and moral damages, in addition to covering legal fees and expenses. The Court stated that Dhs50,000 is sufficient compensation for all damages incurred by the company. The court also ordered the employee to pay the legal fees, expenses, and attorney fees.

Al Ain court obligates a man to pay 51,430 for causing traffic accident
The Abu Dhabi Family, Civil and Administrative Cases Court has ordered a person to pay Dhs51,430 plus a fine of Dhs5,000 as a compensation to another man for damaging two vehicles while driving. Earlier, the plaintiff filed a lawsuit against the defendant in which he requested that he be obligated to pay Dhs51,430, which was the cost of repair for his damaged car plus Dhs75,000 as the rental of a car of the same type that he had to rent while his car was under repair. He also requested the court to obligate the defendant to pay the incurred charges, expenses and lawyer's fees. The plaintiff pleaded that the defendant caused damage to his vehicle, noting that the defendant was convicted of the charge in a lawsuit that had already been filed against. In support of his lawsuit, the plaintiff attached to his docket a copy of the traffic accident report and a copy of the supervising judge's decision to appoint a technical expert to investigate the issue and assess the cost of repair of the plaintiff's vehicle. The technical expert decided that the total repair costs of Dhs51,430 as incurred by the plaintiff were reasonable and in line with the extent of the damages resulting from the accident, assuming that he had bought original spare parts. As for the plaintiff's request for Dhs75,000 as a compensation for not being able to use his car for approximately 6 months from the date of the accident until the date of the actual repair of the car, the court estimated that a Dhs5,000 compensation for the material harms caused to the plaintiff due to the defendant's error would be sufficient.

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.
