The debtor has stopped paying installments. Could he be arrested?
Dear Sir/Madam,
I have a commercial execution case against an individual. The execution was completed well before the new arrest warrant amendment rule.
The debtor has paid several installments but has stopped paying since last month.
Could he be arrested, considering he is not adhering to the payment schedule set by the Dubai court?

Yes, if a debtor is not making payments as per the court-ordered payment schedule set by a Dubai court, it is possible for the creditor to request the court to issue an arrest warrant against the debtor.

Dear Questioner,
In Dubai, failure to settle civil debts typically doesn't result in arrest; instead, alternative measures like asset seizure or travel bans may be pursued.
However, if the case involves criminal elements like fraud, non-payment might warrant arrest, irrespective of recent rule changes.
Dear Questioner,
Yes, there is a possibility. Since you are a judgment holder, you may inform the court regarding the non-payment and the court will initiate action against your submission.
Normally, this will be the court's discretion to take appropriate action. You must follow up with the court and issue the orders against him.
If you need further clarification, we will arrange a legal consultation session for a charge.
