According to Emarat Al Youm, a government company filed a lawsuit against a pharmacy, demanding a payment of Dh651,616, in addition to fees and expenses. It stated that it was contracted to provide water and electricity to the defendant and had fulfilled its obligations whereas the defendant had failed to pay its dues.
The court assigned an accounting expert to look into the matter. Based on the latter's report, it ordered the pharmacy to pay the plaintiff the overdue bills, in addition to fees and expenses.
