Abu Dhabi Family, Civil, and Administrative Cases Court ordered a parent to pay Dhs60,129, along with a fine of Dhs2,000, to the university where his son was enrolled.
The amount represents outstanding tuition fees, despite repeated communication, payment notices, and a settlement offer, which the parent did not adhere to.
In the case details, a university filed a lawsuit demanding the parent of a student pay Dhs60,129, plus a 12% legal interest until full payment, and D5,000 as interim compensation for damages resulted from the non-payment.
The university also requested the parent cover court fees and attorney’s fees.
After hearing the appellee, the court noted that he did not deny the claim was correct. Consequently, the court ordered him to pay the university Dhs60,129 but rejected the 12% interest claim.
The court determined that the appellee’s action caused material damage to the plaintiff and assessed the compensation due at Dhs2,000 for all damages incurred.
