Can I delay cheque enforcement if I’m abroad after the 7-day notice period?

Hi there!

You can appear after the deadline has passed from the date of the legal notice to the person being executed, in the correct manner. You can complete the execution through your attorney.

You can contact us, as we specialize in enforcement cases and financial claims, and can complete the execution procedures from within the country.

After the 7-day notice period in a cheque execution case expires and the debtor fails to pay, you should proceed with filing for enforcement as soon as possible to protect your rights.

While the court will likely still accept your enforcement application after one month, any delay could potentially slow down the overall execution process.

If you need further clarification, you may ask us.

A 7-day notice period means there is an execution file. However, you can work on it online, and I can assist you.

Dear questioner,

There is no strict timeline, however, it will be better to do without delays.

According to UAE law, you can file for enforcement within one month after the notice period ends. Make sure not to exceed this period.

Our center specializes in these cases, and you can contact us via WhatsApp for further legal support.

If you have obtained an execution stamp on the bounced cheque, a 7-day notice to pay will be served to the debtor.

If he doesn't pay, then the creditor has the right to request the court to issue execution orders against the debtor, such as seizure of bank accounts, assets, shares, vehicles, etc.

UAE law doesn't specify a strict deadline for when to apply for execution orders after the expiry of the 7-day notice to pay.

Dear Questioner,

After the 7-day notice period in a cheque execution case, you are generally expected to proceed with enforcement without undue delay. While there is no strict deadline immediately after the 7 days, it is advisable to initiate enforcement as soon as possible to avoid any complications or objections from the debtor’s side.

If you are currently outside the UAE, it is still possible to file for enforcement through a legal representative.

Appointing a lawyer will ensure that the enforcement procedures are carried out on your behalf without delay and in compliance with the applicable legal requirements.

Our office can assist you with this process, including representing you before the Execution Court and handling all necessary filings and follow-ups.

Please let us know if you wish to proceed, and we will guide you through the steps to issue a power of attorney and begin the enforcement process remotely.

Best regards,

Mohammed Salah
