Consequences of failing to pay after a civil case judgement

Dear Sir,

What will be the punishment for a civil case in Abu Dhabi?

If we can't pay the money back, and once the punishment is finished, do we still need to pay the money?

Dear questioner,

There is no punishment in a civil case, they will only attach your assets.

And in case they could not find any assets, they will issue an arrest warrant against you and they can transfer you to jail with a maximum of 3 years.

Sir,

After the completion of jail term, do I still need to pay back the money?
