Al Ain Court fines woman for harassment via WhatsApp

The Al Ain Court of First Instance fined a woman Dhs20,000 in favour of another, on charges of threatening and harassing her via WhatsApp.

The suspect was reportedly convicted for this act in a criminal case.

Details date back to the time when a woman filed a lawsuit against another, demanding compensation of Dhs100,000 for the material and moral damages she incurred, in addition to legal fees and expenses.

The plaintiff stated that the appellee had threatened and harassed her via WhatsApp, adding that she had been convicted in a criminal case, a ruling upheld by the Court of Appeals.

The court clarified that the appellee’s fault was proved, resulting in psychological and material harm to the plaintiff.
Consequently, the court ordered the appellee to compensate the plaintiff with Dhs20,000 for all material and moral damages incurred.
