Al Ain Civil, Commercial and Administrative Cases Court obligated a man to pay a compensation of Dhs40,000 to a woman for threatening, insulting and defaming her on social media as well as stalking her on the road and in her workplace and recklessly obstructing her way in a manner that almost endangered her life.
Earlier, the victim filed a lawsuit against the defendant in which she requested the court to obligate him to pay her Dhs40,000 as compensation for the psychological, moral, and material harms she had befallen as a result of his unlawful actions.
She also requested the court to obligate the defendant to pay legal interest at nine per cent from the date of the lawsuit until full payment plus the incurred fees and expenses.
The plaintiff pleaded that the defendant threatened, insulted and defamed her on social media and kept stalking her on the road and in her workplace and recklessly obstructing her way in a manner that almost endangered her life and vandalized her vehicle, causing her serious psychological, moral and material harms.
These incidents were the subject of a previous criminal case, where he was convicted of threatening and insulting the victim on social media as well as committing an act that endangered her life and the lives of others and vandalizing her vehicle, she said.
That court ruled in his presence that he be slapped with a fine of Dhs50,000, she added, noting that the judgment issued by the court of first instance was later upheld by the court of appeal.
The court stated that the psychological and moral harms suffered by the plaintiff, represented by fear, terror, and anxiety, as well as the material harms represented by her damaged vehicle were a direct result of the defendant’s actions established in the previous criminal judgment.
The defendant must hereby bear legal responsibility for what he did and must pay an estimated compensation of Dhs40,000 for all the harms that the plaintiff had befallen, the court added.
