Abu Dhabi Family, Civil and Administrative Cases Court obligated a young man to pay compensation of Dhs80,000 to 4 people who he insulted and defamed using the information network through a social media platform.

They plaintiffs also demanded that he be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of the lawsuit and the lawyer’s fees.
