I received conflicting information about my cheque case trial. What should I do?

Normally, in these kinds of cases, it is possible to seek the assistance of a lawyer to support you. We will check the options and inform you of the possibilities after consulting with the authorities.

Kindly share your WhatsApp number so we can discuss this further.

Dear questioner,

It might be for personal verification. However, inform your attorney about your visit to the police station and attend the hearing.

If you need further clarification, kindly share your WhatsApp number.

In certain cases, lawyers are not necessary. In criminal cases, lawyers are essential as legal representatives.

Dear Questioner,

Thank you for your inquiry!

Based on your description, there appears to be some confusion between the two notifications you received—one from the prosecution regarding the remote trial session, and the other from the court instructing you to attend the hearing physically and without a lawyer.

Here are the possible reasons for this discrepancy and why you may not be allowed to bring a lawyer:

1. Court Procedures and Regulations:

In certain cases, especially those involving cheque-related disputes or criminal matters, the court may have specific procedural rules regarding the appearance of the accused or parties involved. The instruction to attend physically may be due to a mandatory requirement by the court for such cases.

In some instances, even though a remote hearing is typically allowed, the court may require a physical presence for specific cases to ensure the authenticity of the evidence or statements made.

2. Remote Trials and Restrictions:

Although remote trials are becoming more common, there may still be restrictions on their usage for certain types of hearings, particularly if the case involves complex evidence or a need for direct questioning.

The court may have decided that your case requires an in-person appearance to proceed effectively.

3. Reasons for Not Bringing a Lawyer:

While in most criminal or civil cases you have the right to be represented by a lawyer, there may be specific instructions for you to appear without legal representation during this particular session. This could be due to:

- The nature of the hearing (e.g., an initial appearance or procedural hearing).

- The possibility that the court is allowing you to personally address the case before proceeding with legal representation in subsequent sessions.

- The presence of special regulations regarding personal attendance in certain criminal matters.

4. Potential Legal Miscommunication:

It is also possible that there was a miscommunication or error between the prosecution and the court regarding the mode of the hearing (remote versus in-person). This can happen due to administrative or clerical errors.

5. Next Steps:

- Contact the Court:

It would be prudent to directly contact the court for clarification regarding the discrepancies in the information you received. Ask why you are instructed to attend physically and why legal representation is not allowed at this stage.

- Legal Advice:

Although you cannot bring a lawyer during this particular hearing, you can consult your lawyer before the hearing to prepare your defense and understand what to expect. It is important to be aware of your rights and options in case you are required to address the court personally.

- Request Clarification:

If you find that the instructions are contradictory, you can request a written clarification from the court regarding the trial procedure, especially if you are unable to attend in person for valid reasons.

I hope this explanation helps you understand the situation. Please feel free to reach out if you need further assistance or if you would like to schedule a consultation.

Greetings,

According to UAE law, you have the right to appoint a lawyer to attend with you.

Since the court contacted you to attend an in-person session, it is essential to attend physically; not remotely.

Best Regards,

Under UAE law, the court may have decided to hold the session in person based on the type of case or specific court instructions, even though you received prior notification about a remote session.

Regarding legal representation, some cases may not allow a lawyer during initial hearings or specific trial stages, depending on the court's guidelines.

For further details, feel free to contact us via WhatsApp. We specialize in these matters and are ready to provide full support.

The inability to have an attorney present at a remote cheque court hearing may be due to local laws or the type of case.

In some cases, such as small claims court, attorneys may not be allowed to be present because the goal of these courts is to facilitate proceedings for individuals without the need for legal representation.

Dear Client,

Thanks for your question! I hope you are doing well. I will assist you in this matter.

Receiving conflicting information about your cheque case may stem from procedural decisions by the court. To clarify why you must attend physically and cannot bring a lawyer, contact the court directly.

Express your concerns and seek clarification on the rules, ensuring your rights are protected throughout the process.

Thanks & Regards,
