Al Ain Court of Civil, Commercial, and Administrative Cases ordered two men to pay Dhs20,000 as compensation to a woman who had hired a female worker through them, but it was discovered that the worker was sick and needed surgery.

When she allegedly requested them to take the worker back and return the amount she had paid, they refused.

In the details, a woman filed a lawsuit against two men, demanding that they pay her Dhs30,000 as compensation for the material and moral damages she incurred, in addition to the payment of the lawsuit fees and expenses.

The plaintiff stated that she had hired a worker through the appellees for Dhs15,000, but it was found that the worker was sick and needed surgery.

When she contacted them to return the worker and get her money back, they refused. She added that they had been convicted in a lawsuit that was upheld by the Court of Cassation.

The court explained that it is evident from the documents that the appellees had worked as a mediator for the recruitment of workers without obtaining a permit from the competent authority, as mentioned in the criminal judgment.

The court also clarified that the appellees' representative did not present any evidence to prove their innocence regarding the amount, therefore, the court considered that Dhs15,000 was sufficient compensation for the plaintiff for the harm she incurred, in addition to Dhs5,000 as moral compensation.
