A fight that broke out between two students in Abu Dhabi has resulted in their father being taken to civil court. The father of the young man who beat his classmate was ordered to pay Dh20,000 in compensation.
The victim’s father initially sought Dh150,000; however, the Al Ain Civil Appeal Court upheld the lower court’s decision to award only Dh20,000.
He said his son suffered a serious nose injury after the fight on campus. The father added that the young man also had to deal with psychological issues caused by the incident.
The forensic report stated that the injury was a simple linear fracture of the nasal bone and was treated in hospital.
A Crown Court earlier convicted the student of beating his classmate and handing him over to his father, who was asked to guarantee he would teach him proper behaviour.

When the victim’s father filed a civil suit, another father’s attorney argued that they were no longer entitled to compensation now that the student’s condition had stabilized.
The Al Ain Civil Court of First Instance had earlier ordered the defendant to pay the plaintiff Dh20,000 and settle other costs. However, it rejected the rest of the request.
The victim’s father dissatisfied with the Court of Appeal’s ruling and demanded an increase in the amount of compensation. But an appeals court judge upheld the lower court’s decision.
