What evidence is needed for a judge to issue an arrest warrant for a debtor?
Dear Sir/Madam,
I have an execution lawsuit at the honorable Dubai Courts. The debtor has not paid 127,600 AED in the last 15 months. The debtor has neither a car nor money in his bank.
He issued a power of attorney to his wife so that she could receive all money on his behalf. I want to make a petition to find the debtor and put him in jail, to force him to pay.
What are the evidence that I need to submit with the petition so that the honorable judge agrees to issue a warrant?
What points do the judges check before issuing a warrant to catch the debtor? Do judges easily issue arrest orders these days?
Thank you for all your help!
Dear Questioner,
You need to prove to the court that the debtor has money or assets and is avoiding payment, or he/she had money and illegally transferred/hidden it to avoid obligation/judgment.
In the scenario you shared, the money should be his in the first place before his wife can withdraw/receive it using POA.
If you can prove this, the judge will react to your petition positively.
Dear querist,
It is not easy to predict whether a judge will issue an arrest order, as it depends on the specific circumstances of the case.
However, if you have sufficient evidence to prove the debt and the debtor's ability to pay, there is a higher chance of the judge issuing a warrant.
