Q: Good morning, I hope my message finds you well. What must be done after a judgment is issued in a case? No appeal was made and the appeal term is over. Thank you in advance

Q: Hello, What is the reconsideration case in RDC (Rental Dispute Center)? Can it be done after filing enforcement of eviction?

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, We won an eviction case and appeal against a tenant. We filed for execution, and the tenant has filed a reconsideration case. The eviction date is 12th Feb, and the hearing date for the reconsideration case is 7th Mar. 1) Can the eviction happen on 12th Feb despite the reconsideration case? 2) Is our final right of eviction of the tenant based on the judgment of the Reconsideration case? If so, can we request an earlier hearing date for it? The tenant fraudulently kept us away from the court proceedings in an offer to deposit case he filed before the eviction case and got a favorable judgment. His basis is that he already has a judgment for an extension of Ejari which precedes the eviction judgment (i.e., an argument of Res Judicata). The court recognizes our reply that the argument doesn't apply as the cause of action of both judgments is different. The tenant has already extended his stay in the property by 8 months this year (post end date of Ejari) and has not paid rent either. We served a 12-month legal vacating notice for sale as per law. How can we evict him at the earliest?

Q: We won the case with the RDC that the tenant has to evict the property. We are told there is a cooling period before they say the date he has to leave. How long is the cooling period he can appeal and then what happens next if he appeals and if he doesn't? He was served the one-year notice and then refused to leave, hence the case we raised with RDC and won. Thank you

Q: Dear Lawyers, The case needs to be filed during official working hours, on a subsequent working day (if the last day falls on an official holiday), in Dubai. With Smart Police Stations operating 24/7, how are these situations considered? Should the case be filed during working hours, say before 3 PM, etc.?
