The court has blocked my company trade license due to a cheque case of appeal. What do I have to do?
I had a cheque case against my company. I got the first judgment to close the file, but the plaintiff filed an appeal.
The court has blocked my company, and I couldn't renew it. The company has 40 employees, and my visa is also on the company.
Now, because of the court case, I can't renew the employee's visa, my visa, or my trade license. What do I have to do?
Greetings,
If your company is blocked due to an ongoing cheque case appeal, this can impact visa renewals and trade license renewals. To resolve this, you may need to:
Challenge the Appeal: If you already obtained a judgment to close the case, legal action may be taken to expedite lifting the block.
Negotiate a Settlement: In some cases, resolving the dispute with the plaintiff may help unblock your company faster.
Request Court Permission: Certain legal measures may allow temporary relief to renew visas and licenses.

Dear Client,
Thank you for reaching out regarding the challenges you are facing with your company and trade license due to the ongoing court case.
I understand the urgency of the situation, especially with the impact on your employees' visas, your visa, and the company's operations.
Below is a professional overview of steps you can take to address this issue:
1. Addressing the Court Case
- Since the plaintiff has appealed the initial judgment, it is crucial to actively engage with your legal counsel to expedite the appeal process. Ensure that all required documentation and evidence are submitted promptly to strengthen your case.
- If possible, negotiate with the plaintiff for an out-of-court settlement to resolve the matter more quickly and lift restrictions on your company.
2. Trade License Reactivation
To reactivate your trade license and remove any blocks:
- Check the Reason for Suspension: Confirm if the block is directly related to the court case or if there are other compliance issues (e.g., unpaid fees or unresolved regulatory matters).
- Resolve Compliance Issues: Work with the relevant authorities, such as Dubai Economy and Tourism (DET) or DIFC Authority, to address any outstanding requirements.
- Submit a Reactivation Request: Once all issues are resolved, submit a reactivation request along with any required fees.
3. Impact on Employee Visas
- As your employees' visas are linked to your company's trade license, resolving the block is critical to renewing their visas.
If delays persist, communicate transparently with employees about the situation and provide them with supporting documentation if needed for their visa status.
4. Legal and Administrative Support
- Engage a legal expert specializing in UAE corporate law to navigate both the court case and trade license reactivation process efficiently.
- Consider hiring a business advisory firm experienced in handling blocked licenses and regulatory matters in Dubai. They can assist with documentation, compliance, and communication with authorities.
5. Preventive Measures for Future
To avoid similar issues in the future:
- Ensure timely compliance with all regulatory requirements, including fee payments and legal obligations.
- Regularly audit company operations to identify potential risks that could lead to blocks or disputes.
This situation requires prompt action on multiple fronts—legal, administrative, and operational—to minimize disruptions to your business and employees.
Should you need further assistance or detailed guidance on any of these steps, please feel free to contact me directly.
Best regards,

Hello,
If possible, negotiate with the plaintiff to reach a settlement. If the plaintiff is willing to settle the matter, you might be able to have the block on your company’s trade license removed, allowing you to proceed with renewing visas for yourself and your employees.
In some cases, the DED may allow the issuance of a temporary license to continue operating while the legal case is pending. This could be helpful for your business operations.
