Is it mandatory for a self-represented applicant to sign the memorandum of defense in a civil dispute?

Dear Questioner,

It is preferable that the memorandum be signed by the person who submitted it. However, submitting the memorandum from your account on the court’s website is sufficient to consider the memorandum as submitted by you.

It should be signed, but it’s acceptable to explain on the hearing date.

After greetings,

The court may accept the memorandum without the owner's signature as long as the owner is present and acknowledges that the memorandum was submitted by them. This is at the court’s discretion.

We are honored to provide you with legal support.

Hi,

Good afternoon!

Yes, it is generally mandatory for a memorandum of defense to be signed by the applicant in a civil dispute in Dubai, even if they are representing themselves.

The signature on a legal document serves as a declaration that the person signing it is aware of the contents and is accepting responsibility for the statements made.

Failure to sign a memorandum of defense could result in the court rejecting the document or delaying proceedings.

For further assistance, kindly share your contact details.
