The Abu Dhabi Family, Civil, and Administrative Court amended a previous ruling that had obligated a private contracting company to compensate a worker with Dhl.1 million, increasing the amount to Dh1.5 million.

The worker fell from a seven-metre-high scaffold while painting steel at a worksite and sustained severe injuries.
