Event management company ordered to pay woman Dhs15,000 as compensation for failing to organise a party

The Abu Dhabi Commercial Court of First Instance ordered an event management company to pay a woman Dhs15,000 plus 3% annual interest until full payment, not exceeding the awarded amount, for failing to fulfil a party planning contract.

The case dates back to the time when a man and a woman filed a lawsuit against an event planning company demanding compensation for damages incurred due to its breach of obligations. After contracting with the company to organise a party, the firm breached its obligations and did not provide services as agreed upon.

The woman demanded that the company be ordered to pay Dhs43,000, the value of the work which was not performed as agreed, and to provide material and moral compensation of Dhs60,000, with 12% interest.

The court noted that it was established from the case files, particularly the advertisement provided by the company and the images, that when comparing them with what was actually performed as shown in the attached photos, it was clear that those works were not similar to what was agreed upon, proving the company's breach in executing its obligations related to the party.

Accordingly, the court deems Dhs15,000 as sufficient compensation for all the damages incurred.
