Hello,

I trust you are well.

The procedure is relatively simple but will mainly depend on the facts of the case and the events that took place.

Once we conduct a review and have a better understanding, we can either implement a formal demand letter, i.e. a legal notice, or file a complaint directly with the relevant courts of the UAE.

For further information, please contact us by email.

Hi,

Can we file a civil case of debt recovery with the client in Dubai from the UK or do we have to carry recovery procedure only with Dubai court?

5 May 2020, 11:04

Hello,

The debt recovery process will have to be carried out from the relevant Dubai courts, after serving a legal notice.

Please note that if through the legal notice a settlement is reached, there will be no need to initiate a court case.

Dear questioner,

You can initiate the civil case by serving a legal notice initially, followed by filling the case in Dubai Courts.

Further, we need to review all documents in order to assist further

If need be, kindly contact us by phone for a detailed discussion or write to us at our email for further assistance.

Is the legal notice sending to Dubai client should be in Arabic or even English will do?

Please let us know.

5 May 2020, 09:47

Ideally, legal notice should be in Arabic (as the court language is Arabic) through a notary public in Dubai courts.

We're a UK based company but one of our clients is in Dubai who did not pay for our invoices for a long time. So where should our court proceedings be, in Dubai or in the UK?

5 May 2020, 09:56

As your client is based in Dubai, therefore, the civil case for recovery should be done in Dubai.

Dear Sweta,

Thank you so much for your reply.

May I know what is the duration of serving initial legal notice we sent to them, in order to initiate case proceedings.

5 May 2020, 10:26

Once the legal notice is served, the case can be filed within a week's time (Max).

Dear Swetha,

Does the UAE law permit or allow us to claim legal and court fees from the client?

5 May 2020, 10:39

As per the UAE laws, court fees are 100% claimable, and a part of legal fees from the client.

5 May 2020, 10:48

Dear Swetha,

We want to know whether the law permits to file a case with the client in Dubai from the UK.

5 May 2020, 11:04

As per UAE laws, it should be in Dubai so that the judgement can be enforced later on.

Taking judgement is not always important, you will have to enforce it to the client so that he pays under all circumstances.
