Q: The Tawafouq centre transferred my case to the court and they gave me papers to submit in Al Adhid centre.

They asked me to pay the court fee of AED 6635 to register my case in the court, but I don't have money because my company did not give me a salary for the last 4 months. I want to know if I can pay the court fee after the judgment or its necessary to pay the court fee first then your case will be registered. Please explain; my total amount is 131665.

Q: Hi All, I have been cheated by a group of people and had filed the criminal case. The criminal court has ordered jail term and deportation to the criminal and also passed the order - "Referring the civil action to competent civil court without any expenses". My understanding is that I don't need to pay the court fees which are AED 40000, as my claim amount is 1 million. However, my lawyer is saying that I need to pay the court fees. I don't have that much money as I have lost all my money in cheating. Can someone clarify if I need to pay the court fees? I will be very much thankful for your insights. Thanks I.

Q: Dear Lawyers, The judge has again rejected our second request to delay the court fees. Our lawyer has advised that we can proceed with the re-registration of the case as soon as the court fee payment is received from your end. The court fee is 21k, which I am unable to pay. Is there any option to request paying the fee after the case is won? This case involves a 400k investment where I didn’t get my money back or any profit. I went to court for legal action and have already paid 14k to the law firm, but now I am unable to pay further. I don’t know what to do. Please advise!
