The Abu Dhabi Court of Family and Civil and Administrative Cases ordered a company to pay Dh532,000 to a former board member after he filed a lawsuit against the company, confirming its decision to distribute 10 percent of its annual profits to the ex-board member as a bonus , but did not give it to him.
Complainants also claim that the company is obliged to pay litigation costs and expenses.
He explained that he was elected to the board of directors by the company for eight months, and after he left the board two months later, the company held a general meeting where it was decided to distribute 10 percent of the profits (AED 63 million) to former members of the board of directors, including he.
Lawyers for the company asked for a delay in another criminal complaint related to the squandering of money pending a decision.
The court said the case had nothing to do with the report referred to by lawyers, and clarified that the complainant submitted an advisory report evidencing his entitlement to the award.
He also attached proof of his membership of the board of directors and the decision of the company’s general meeting of shareholders to distribute 10% of the profits to board members for a period of one year.
Accordingly, the court was obliged to pay the complainant Dhs532,000 plus legal costs and expenses, but dismissed the complainant’s claim for legal entitlement.
