Can we claim and sell a liquidated customer’s goods to recover debts through Dubai Courts?

Hi,

You can file a lawsuit with the urgent matters judge in Dubai Court for the provisional seizure of your entitlements from the defendant.

Thank you for reaching out regarding your situation!

Based on the details you've provided, it appears that you’re dealing with a scenario where your customer is in liquidation, and you wish to recover outstanding invoices by taking ownership of the goods in transit.

In Dubai, you may be able to request the retention of ownership over the goods until payment is made, especially if there was an agreement specifying such terms (e.g., a retention of title clause in your contract).

This would allow you to take possession of the goods in order to sell them and recover the outstanding amount.

To pursue this, you would likely need to file a claim in the Dubai Courts seeking an order for the goods' possession.

Alternatively, if the goods are located in a different jurisdiction, you may need to seek the court's assistance in that jurisdiction, potentially through an international legal procedure.

Given the complexity of liquidation processes and cross-border shipments, it would be beneficial for us to discuss the specifics of your case in more detail. I can assist in drafting the appropriate legal documents and guiding you through the recovery process.

Please reach out to me via WhatsApp or email at [-----------], and we can schedule a consultation to discuss the next steps in detail.

Best regards,

Dear Client,

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

Requesting ownership of goods to recover outstanding invoices in Dubai is possible but complex. During liquidation, creditors must file claims within a set timeframe.

As a creditor, submit your claim to the appointed liquidator. UAE asset liquidation prioritizes secured creditors first.

To request goods ownership, petition the court handling the liquidation, demonstrating that the goods relate directly to your invoices and that this action is the most equitable solution without disadvantaging other creditors.

Act quickly, as the liquidator may sell assets to settle debts. Given the complexity, consult with us for guidance through proper procedures and court representation if necessary.

You can contact us via WhatsApp for further clarification or additional support. We are dedicated to providing professional, timely, and comprehensive assistance tailored to your situation.

Thank you!

Your contract with the customer is paramount. If it includes clauses addressing ownership of goods in case of non-payment or liquidation, your position is significantly stronger.

It will be better to issue a formal legal demand to the liquidator (or the customer, if they are still operating) outlining the outstanding debt and your intention to claim the goods before moving to the court.

We will discuss the procedures in detail.

Kindly share your WhatsApp number to discuss this further.

My dear,

You can do this by filing a lawsuit with the competent court to obtain a ruling in your favor, which you can then enforce.

Greetings of the day,

If your customer has gone into liquidation and you are looking to recover the outstanding balance by selling their goods, you may be able to pursue a claim for possession of the goods under Dubai law.

To do so, you can file a claim in the Dubai Courts seeking possession of the goods on the grounds of outstanding payment and your right to secure your debt.

This can be done through a legal action called retention of title if stipulated in your contract. In such cases, the court may allow you to take ownership of the goods temporarily and sell them to recover the amount owed.

It’s important to ensure that the contract includes a clause that grants you the right to retain ownership of goods until full payment is made.

You will need to provide evidence of the outstanding invoices, the agreement, and any communication with the customer.

Best Regards,

Greetings,

You can submit a request to the court to seize the movables and sell them for the benefit of the execution file.

Wishing you a pleasant day ahead!

You may be able to request ownership of the goods through Dubai Courts by filing a claim for retention of title if your contract allows it.

This legal action would allow you to take possession of the goods and sell them to recover the outstanding balance.

According to UAE law, you can request ownership of the goods by submitting a petition to the Commercial Court to allow you to sell the goods to recover the outstanding balance.

This requires legal procedures, such as providing evidence of the debt owed by the customer.
