Missed taxi leads to court absence

Dubai: The lack of taxis is now taking a toll on court proceedings, as a female suspect could not reach the court for a hearing of her case because she could not find a taxi.

When a Dubai Criminal Court judge called the lawsuit in which the Asian woman suspect is involved, she was found to be absent, although three other suspects were present.

The judge adjourned the case until later this month. The woman is out on bail.
