Abu Dhabi Family, Civil, and Administrative Cases Court ordered a father to pay Dhs15,740, along with a fine of Dhs1,000 to a school after he had enrolled his daughter in the school but failed to pay the outstanding fees amounting to Dhs15,740.
In the details, the school filed a lawsuit against the father, demanding that he be compelled to pay Dhs15,740, along with Dhs3,142 as compensation for the damages incurred due to the non-payment of the outstanding amount.
The school also requested legal interest of 12% from the date of filing the lawsuit until full payment, as well as the payment of legal fees, expenses, and attorney’s fees.
The court clarified that, based on the documents and the customer account statement issued by the school, it was established that the appellee owed the school a total of Dhs15,740.
The appellee did not attend the court session despite being legally summoned, which led the court to conclude that the school’s claims were valid.
Consequently, the court ordered the father to pay the outstanding amount, in addition to Dhs1,000 as compensation for all material damages incurred by the school.
