Q: Hello, I have won a civil case for claiming an unpaid personal cash loan. The defendant paid 50% of the total amount due and the remaining 50% in monthly installments. However, she stopped making payments because of a new law implemented last November, stating that I can only arrest her if I have evidence or a report confirming she has money. Is this true? If so, what is the process for this? I need advice, and should I hire a lawyer for this matter?

Q: 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?

Q: I recently made a petition to issue a subpoena arrest order on the debtor in my execution case. The honorable court rejected my petition. I was then told that there is a new ruling that the creditor has to prove that the debtor has funds while submitting a subpoena request. A) Is the above new requirement true? Is it not sufficient to prove that the debtor has not paid? B) The debtor made a power of attorney in the name of her brother, giving him the power to collect all funds that are payable to the debtor. In this way, the debtor's bank account shows zero, but she can get a supplementary credit card from her brother, and pay for all purchases. What can I do? C) What methods are available to me to detect the funds of the debtor, or to prove that she is using methods to hide her funds? Thank you for your assistance

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, I want the Honourable Execution Court to put a block on a debtor's file at the RTA, so that the person cannot do any RTA transactions and cannot renew their driving license. I request someone to tell me the procedure to make this petition and the Arabic name of the petition. Thank you!

Q: Dear Lawyers, I am writing to seek your professional guidance regarding an execution case I have filed against my client due to a bounced cheque. I am currently following the legal procedures step by step and am preparing to submit a petition to the relevant court requesting the issuance of an arrest warrant against the defendant. With the changes in the law concerning "imprisonment for inability to repay a debt," I would like to understand the steps and evidence required to demonstrate to the court that the defendant may be concealing assets or engaging in business activities in the UAE through untraceable transactions. 1. What types of evidence are deemed sufficient to establish that the defendant is hiding assets or conducting business in a manner that evades detection? 2. Are there specific legal provisions or tools available that I can utilize to strengthen my case for obtaining an arrest warrant?
