CompensationIn Arabic: التعويض

Definition

The amount awarded to make good the harm suffered by the injured party, usually covering both the loss incurred and the gain missed. The court assesses it under the liability rules of each state's civil law, unless the parties have agreed the amount in advance.

How it varies across the GCC

Courts assess damages under each civil code.

The rules that apply to a specific matter depend on the state, any free zone involved and the current text of the law, so check the official source before relying on them.
