Q: Reviewing this article and UAE FL 18 of 1993, Article 95 CTL states 10 years for commercial obligations between bank and person (trader):
I would like to know if the statute of limitation (time-bar) can be brought up in court for defence if the verdict by the initial court is issued in 2010 (10+ years ago) and nothing has paid by the debtor after the execution of the verdict.
Exp: If a case has a time table like below, can the defendant still use the law in relation to time-bars?
- Case opened in the UAE initial commercial court: 2010
- Case reached a verdict in absentia (UAE commercial initial court): 2010
- Case is sent to Execution court and remained there ever since: 2012
If nothing has changed and no payment is made, am I right to assume that after 10 years (2021), this claim is time-barred and the defendant can use the statute of limitation as his defence with the debtor?

القضية الجنائية للشيك المرتجع للتخلف عن سداد القرض

1
س: أكثر من 200 ألف درهم إماراتي أم أقل من 200 ألف درهم إماراتي؟
أنا في حيرة بشأن كيفية تعامل الشرطة / نظام المحاكم في قضيتي الجنائية بناءً على قواعد الشيكات الأقل من 200 ألف درهم. الشيك المرتجع كان بمبلغ 235000 درهم إماراتي.
ومع هذا، فإن المبلغ المتبقي للبنك يبلغ 150000 درهم إماراتي. الشيك أعلى قليلاً من 200 ألف درهم إماراتي، لكن المبلغ المتبقي أقل من 200 ألف.
هل من الآمن افتراض أنني سأعامل كما لو كان الشيك أقل من 200 ألف درهم؟ كيف أتأكد من ذلك؟
لقد تلقيت ورقة فقط عليها صورتي وطلب مني الشرطي التوقيع عليها. ليس لدي أي فكرة عما وقعت عليه، حيث كان كل شيء مكتوبًا باللغة العربية.
ثانيًا ، لماذا أخذت شرطة المطار جواز سفري؟ أعتقد أن الشرطة لم تعد تصادر جوازات السفر في قضايا القروض بسبب نظام "الكفالة الذكية" الجديد.
تأشيرتي ستجدد في غضون شهر. هل يمكنني استعادة جواز سفري من الشرطة (حتى ولو مؤقتًا) لتجديد تأشيرتي؟
إذا لم أتمكن من تجديد تأشيرتي، فلن أستطيع العمل ولن أتمكن من دفع أي شيء. إذا جددت التأشيرة واحتفظت بعملي فيمكنني تسديد القرض في حوالي 6 أشهر.
مع الشكر.

عرض الجميعHow can I reverse the Bitcoin scam transation if I just lost everything in a flash loan attack? 0
DeFi was going to be the future of finance, open, trustless, unstoppable. I was completely on board, planting yields like some kind of digital Johnny Appleseed.
My collateral secured with Bitcoin was humming along on my favorite lending platform, earning me passive income while I slept. In came the flash loan attack.
One moment, I had six figures securely staked; the next, my positions were liquidated at the speed of regret. My loans, my collateral, my well-thought-out portfolio, poof.
Panic came faster than an Ethereum gas spike. I scanned Twitter, hoping it was FUD. Not a chance. Smart contract compromised. Funds stolen. The protocol team acted swiftly to do something, but damage was already done.

My neighbors on the upper floor are causing noise throughout the day, almost 24/7. They keep dragging furniture, dropping heavy objects, and slamming doors.
The property manager was not very helpful, and I cannot sleep or take power naps. I sleep when they do and wake up when they wake up.

If a bank has filed an execution cheques case through the Dubai Courts. Is a travel ban automatically applied? 0
A bank has filed an execution cheques case through the Dubai Courts due to nonpayment of a personal loan and credit card.
Is a travel ban automatically applied?
I looked on the Dubai Courts website, and it says the judge has issued a “reserved” order for my case.
Furthermore, when the bank emails, they threaten me with a travel ban. So I am assuming there is no travel ban issued (but I don’t know). I haven’t received any notice of a travel ban.
If there is a travel ban, how do I find out?
I have checked the Dubai police app, and there are no financial crimes against me.
Please advise if you know.
