The Abu Dhabi Court of First Instance ruled to reject a case filed by a man who requested a labor recruitment company that brought him a maid who refused to work and claimed illness.

In detail, a man filed a lawsuit against a auxiliary labor recruitment company, in which he demanded that it oblige it to pay him 20 thousand dirhams and compensation of 5000 dirhams, indicating that he agreed with the defendant to bring in a maid, and after the maid came, she refused to work and claimed illness, while the present presented on behalf of the defendant An answer memorandum in which it concluded that the case was not accepted to be filed against an unqualified person, and the case was rejected for lack of validity and proof.

During the hearing of the case, the plaintiff submitted a memorandum to correct the form of the case, in which he ended up obliging the defendant to pay him an amount of 20 thousand dirhams in return for all the fees, expenses and cash incurred, indicating that he attended in his personal capacity and as his wife's representative and requested a time to pay the correction fee.

For its part, the court clarified, in the rationale for its ruling, that it is legally established regarding domestic workers that if a dispute occurs between the parties to the contract and they fail to settle amicably, they must refer it to the competent authority, which shall take what it deems appropriate to settle the dispute amicably within two weeks, and if amicable settlement is not possible. Between the two parties to the dispute, that authority shall refer the matter to the competent court within a period of two weeks from the date of submitting the complaint.
