A real estate company filed a lawsuit requesting that the owner of an apartment in a building it runs pay it Dhs300,000 in material and moral compensation, and oblige him to pay expenses and lawyer’s fees.
The company said that the appellee insulted and disparaged its employees and customers by sending messages via e-mail, which caused it damage.
The court indicated that the complaining company did not provide proof that the email attributed to the appellee belonged to him, and that he denied it.
The court also affirmed that the complainant requested the assignment of a technical expert, which is not a serious request, especially since the court is not obligated to prepare evidence for the litigants, and that the company did not submit a criminal notification against the appellee, so that the Public Prosecution would take the means to indicate whether the e-mail belonged to the appellee or not, and whether the content therein was a criminal offence.
Consequently, the court dismissed the case and obligated the complaining company to pay expenses, and lawyer's fees.
