Can I appeal after the 15-day grace period in the RDC if I have new evidence?

Greetings,

The emergence of new evidence that could not be obtained is considered one of the strongest reasons for appeal.

Kindly contact us via phone, WhatsApp, or email.

Dear Questioner,

If you have newly discovered evidence that was not available during the original proceedings, you can request the reconsideration of the case.

If you missed the appeal deadline, you have to file a motion for reconsideration, explaining the reasons for your delay and presenting new evidence.

For further assistance, kindly share your WhatsApp number.

Submitting a request for reconsideration

If there is new evidence that was not available at the time of the first trial and significantly affects the judgment issued, you can submit a request for reconsideration of the case.

Article 171 of the UAE Civil Procedures Law gives the parties the right to submit a request for reconsideration in the event that new evidence is discovered or a material error occurs in the judgment.

In this request, the new evidence must be clearly presented and the reason for not presenting it during the first sessions must be stated.

Dear Questioner,

This new evidence will be crucial to file appeal after this 15 days' time period. The request has to be submitted before the court, and we need to get approval for filing this appeal.

If you need further clarification, kindly share your WhatsApp number so we discuss this further.

Dear Questioner,

Thanks for your inquiry!

According to Article 161 of the UAE Civil Procedure Code, a party can file an appeal within 30 days from the date of the judgment. This period can be extended for an additional 15 days if the party resides outside the UAE.

If you have new evidence that was not available during the initial trial, you can file a request for a retrial within 30 days from the date of the judgment. This request should be supported by the new evidence and a justification for why it was not presented during the initial trial.

If the court accepts your request for a retrial, the case will be reopened and the new evidence will be considered.

However, if the court rejects your request, you can still file an appeal within the 30-day period.

It is important to note that the court has the discretion to accept or reject a request for a retrial, so it is best to consult with a lawyer to assess the strength of your new evidence and the likelihood of it being accepted by the court.

If you have missed the deadline for filing an appeal or a request for a retrial, you may still have options to challenge the initial judgment.

You can file a petition for cassation to the Court of Cassation within 60 days from the date of the judgment.

However, this option is only available in limited circumstances, such as if there was a violation of the law or a procedural error during the initial trial.

Kindly do not hesitate to contact us via phone or email for further guidance.
