Abu Dhabi’s Court of Cassation has ruled funds cannot be taken without informing the customer first. Their ruling amends a ruling which saw one bank in the country and two telecommunication companies fined. They were fined 20,000 AED for making a customer pay fake costs and deducting them from their account without their permission. The ruling was amended to exempt the telecommunications companies from the fine and ask the bank to pay 4,000 AED for withholding the money without informing the customers.
