In Dubai, a judge cancelled a Dh60,000 fine imposed on a man who unknowingly overstayed his visa. The man explained in court that he was caring for his Emirati sponsor, who was diagnosed with cancer, and lost track of his own legal status. The compassionate ruling received special recognition from President Sheikh Mohamed. This case highlights the humane approach the UAE legal system can take in exceptional circumstances involving visa violations. The judge’s decision and the President’s honour underline the importance of understanding and empathy in the justice system.
