Client wins case against immigration consultancy in Dubai court

## Court Ruling

A Dubai court has mandated an immigration consultancy to reimburse a client Dh92,886 due to a breach of contract. The court also awarded the client Dh10,000 in compensation and set an annual interest rate of 5% on the refund until full payment is made.

## Case Background

The client, an Arab national, had initially entered into a contract with the firm in May 2023 for assistance in obtaining Canadian permanent residency. The agreement was later modified to include a UK skilled worker visa application. Despite paying the full amount, the client claimed the firm failed to deliver the promised services.

## Legal Proceedings

The client sought the cancellation of the agreements and requested compensation for damages. The court found that the firm did not fulfill its contractual obligations, leading to the termination of the agreements and the order for restitution.

## Firm's Response

The consultancy acknowledged the payment and proposed a repayment plan, which was not honored. The court's decision reflects the firm's failure to meet its contractual duties, resulting in the client's successful claim for a refund and damages.
