The Al Ain Court of First Instance obligated a person to pay Dhs20,000 to another, whom he annoyed with phone calls and through telecommunications services.

In the details, a person filed a lawsuit against another in which he requested that he be obligated to pay Dhs5,000 in compensation for the material and moral damages he incurred, in addition to fees and expenses of the lawsuit and the lawyer’s fees.

The appellant indicated that the appellee used to harass him over the phone and other communications services, adding that he was convicted of the charge before.

The appellant's lawyer submitted to the court a memorandum which included correcting his requests, where he demanded that the appellee be obligated to pay the appellant Dhs200,000 in compensation for the material and moral damages he incurred, and 12% interest from the date of filing the lawsuit until full payment, in addition to fees and expenses of the case and the lawyer’s fees.

The court explained that appellee's mistake was proved and caused harm to the appellant, including psychological pain. Therefore, the court obligated the appellee to pay the appellant a compensation of Dhs20,000.
