Abu Dhabi Family and Civil and Administrative Cases Court has ordered a woman to pay Dhs10,000 in compensation to a man she assaulted.
The man filed a lawsuit against her, demanding Dhs50,000 in compensation for the material and moral damages he incurred, along with legal fees and expenses.
The plaintiff stated that as a result of the assault, he sustained injuries documented in a medical report and that a criminal case was filed against the appellee, for which the court issued a judgment in absentia, convicting her of assault and fining her Dhs2,000.
The appellee appealed the ruling, and the court accepted it in form but rejected it in substance, upholding the appealed judgment.
The appellee was not dissatisfied with the ruling and appealed it, but the court dismissed the appeal.
The court concluded that the appellee's fault was proved, as established in the criminal judgment, for assaulting the plaintiff's body integrity, causing her material and moral damages.
Therefore, the court ordered the appellee to pay the plaintiff Dhs10,000 in compensation for all damages.
