UAE Civil Transactions Law

Article 256

Book One: Obligations · Section One: Sources of Obligation · Chapter Three: Harmful Act · Part One: General Provisions

1. Compensation shall be assessed in cash. 2. The court may, depending on the circumstances and upon the request of the injured party, where damage has occurred, order the restoration of the status quo ante, or order the performance of a specific matter related to the harmful act, by way of compensation. 3. The compensation may be awarded in installments or in the form of a periodic income. In these two cases, the court may compel the debtor to provide security to be assessed thereby, or an acceptable guarantee. The court may reconsider the assessment of installment-based compensation or the periodic income depending on the change in circumstances and prices to provide full compensation for the damage. 4. The injured party may request reconsideration of the assessment of compensation in the event of aggravation of the damage. 5. If the court is unable at the time of the judgment to definitively assess the compensation, it shall reserve, for the injured party, the right to request a reconsideration of the assessment of the compensation within a period it determines.
