My bad. I have been told several times that precedents don't make any difference here, but since i haven't been near a law court couldn't verify anyway.

Re: I never expected this verdict.
 

Again showing my sparkling (err non existant) legal expertise but that article doesn't indicate that it was proven, just that he admitted it. If he hadn't of admitted it i would like to know how they would prove it.

I'd also love to see one of the legions of CCTV camers to be used to see what the <adopts copper voice> complainents driving was like at the time of the incident.

Re: I never expected this verdict.
 

"Historically the legal systems of the Middle Eastern Islamic Arab countries were based on Islamic Law (Sharia). Sharia (religious) Courts formed the judicial cornerstone of these countries. The modernisation of the majority of the legal systems in these countries at the beginning of the twentieth century, led to the establishment of Civil Courts which were generally granted the competence to review civil transactions as well as commercial and other types of disputes. Separate Criminal Courts were also established. Matters of personal status such as marriage, divorce, custody and inheritance remained with the Sharia Courts whose judges were trained in Islamic Law and Jurisprudence. Some Islamic Arab countries such as the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia maintained their legal systems which were, and still are, based on Islamic Law. Their judiciary is organised on the basis of the Sharia Courts.

In the UAE the establishment of the Civil and Criminal Courts resulted in diminishing the role of the Sharia Courts. Nevertheless, the competence of the Sharia Courts in some Emirates, particularly Abu Dhabi, was substantially expanded later on to include, in addition to matters of personal status, all types of civil and commercial disputes as well as serious criminal offences. Therefore, in addition to the Civil Courts, each of the seven Emirates maintains a parallel system of Sharia Courts which are organised and supervised locally. "
