A resident of Al Ain who was badly assaulted by two young men during an argument has been granted AED 30,000 in damages.

He sustained bruises on his face, arms, and other body parts due to the beating.

The young man had filed a lawsuit against the two men demanding AED 100,000 in compensation for the physical, moral, and material damages he suffered due to the assault.

The medical report said the injuries had prevented the plaintiff from carrying out his work for 20 days.

The plaintiff had presented a copy of the criminal court verdict and the medical report confirming his injuries and treatment to the civil court.

The Al Ain Court of Appeal upheld a ruling by the Court of First Instance, which ordered the perpetrators to pay the least amount of AED 30,000 in compensation for assaulting him and causing multiple bodily injuries.

Both individuals had previously been found guilty by a criminal court of assaulting the plaintiff and fined AED 2,000 each.

The Al Ain civil court of first instance had ear ordered the men to pay AED 30,000 to the plaintiff in compensation for the physical and material damages he suffered as a result of the beatings.

The men have also been ordered to pay for the plaintiff’s legal expenses. The men challenged the ruling to the appeals court, which upheld the lower court's initial decision.
