A 36-year-old accountant working for a contracting firm has been ordered to refund an amount equal to the salary of six employees. A corporate manager sued him, alleging that she paid him Dh25,350 to put in the company's bank account. However, he took the money for himself and refused to return it, even after being politely requested. The plaintiff presented evidence that the accountant had signed a document declaring that he had received the funds to pay the employees' salaries. She also provided the names of the employees as well as the amounts owed to them. The Ras Al Khaimah Partial Civil Court delivered a ruling requiring the defendant to pay the plaintiff Dh25,350 in addition to the costs of the action. BKM/ Expat Media
