Q: Dear sir/madam,
My wife filed a compensation claim in Abu Dhabi. The court found the opponent guilty and was awarded damages. Can she reclaim the legal fees paid to the law firm or only the court costs including the cost to file the case?
As the compensation awarded does not cover the fees paid.
Thanks!

Possibility of cancelling or delaying civil court fees

Q: Hi All,
I have been cheated by a group of people and had filed the criminal case. The criminal court has ordered jail term and deportation to the criminal and also passed the order - "Referring the civil action to competent civil court without any expenses".
My understanding is that I don't need to pay the court fees which are AED 40000, as my claim amount is 1 million. However, my lawyer is saying that I need to pay the court fees.
I don't have that much money as I have lost all my money in cheating. Can someone clarify if I need to pay the court fees?
I will be very much thankful for your insights.
Thanks
I.

View allHow can I reverse the Bitcoin scam transation if I just lost everything in a flash loan attack? 0
DeFi was going to be the future of finance, open, trustless, unstoppable. I was completely on board, planting yields like some kind of digital Johnny Appleseed.
My collateral secured with Bitcoin was humming along on my favorite lending platform, earning me passive income while I slept. In came the flash loan attack.
One moment, I had six figures securely staked; the next, my positions were liquidated at the speed of regret. My loans, my collateral, my well-thought-out portfolio, poof.
Panic came faster than an Ethereum gas spike. I scanned Twitter, hoping it was FUD. Not a chance. Smart contract compromised. Funds stolen. The protocol team acted swiftly to do something, but damage was already done.
