القانون المعمول به في قضية مرفوعة من جانب شركة مسجلة برخصة مدنية

إنني أمتلك شركة مهنية تحمل رخصة مدنية. تم تأسيسها وفقًا لقانون المعاملات المدنية الإماراتي وقانون الحرف البسيطة الخاص بإمارة دبي. لدي قضية في محاكم دبي وتم تسجيلها باعتبارها قضية تجارية. هناك بعض الاختلافات بين قانون الشركات التجارية وقانون المعاملات المدنية.

على سبيل المثال، لا يحق للشريك في شركة تجارية إبرام اتفاقيات وعقود مع أي قريب للعائلة دون موافقة جميع الشركاء، لكن قانون المعاملات المدنية لا يضع أي قيود من هذا القبيل ولا ينص سوى على أن الشريك يحق له العمل مع أي شخص.

أي قانون ينطبق على الشركات المدنية فيما يتعلق بالقضايا التجارية؟

هل هناك أي ميزة أو اختلاف في مطالبة المحكمة بإعادة رفع هذه القضية كقضية مدنية حيث أن الشركة قد تأسست بموجب قانون المعاملات المدنية؟

Companies in general, in the United Arab Emirates, are subject to the commercial transactions law, as their activity is commercial and has acquired the status of commercial.

The commercial transactions law applies to it and the civil transactions law applies to it in the absence of a special provision in the commercial transactions law.

Therefore, a civil case cannot be registered.

Kindly contact us via phone or email for further assistance.

Thank you!

Thank you!

My question was:

Is UAE commercial companies law applicable to a professional company with a civil license from DED (Not an LLC)?

The civil partnership company is not defined in the commercial companies law. It is defined as a "partnership" in the UAE civil transactions law.

Hello,

It seems that you have already filed the case. However, you must keep in mind that the applicability of the law depends on the circumstances on which it arises.

The commercial law existed from both civil transaction law and civil procedures law and other misc laws. There are no advantages or disadvantages of any statutes or Law.

They are made for different and specific purposes. It depends upon the lawyer, how to present the case to the court. Every law has its own perspectives and it depends upon evidence to prove to the court the merit of the case with the cause of action.

A case cannot be filed two times in the court with the same cause of action or with the same facts and circumstances. The court maintains it as res judicata and may cancel it. You have to make proper arrangements and ask the lawyer to do it accordingly.

Please contact us via phone or email.

Thank you for your response. I understand and agree with your comments

I found out that my civil company with a professional license from DED is formed under local order 63 of 1991.

That order states that commercial transaction law and commercial companies law do not apply to a civil company.

So even though my case has been registered as a commercial case, I will request the honorable court to apply civil laws and not the commercial companies law.

However, I also read somewhere that the honorable court has the power to declare that a company with a civil license is actually a commercial company.

Yes!

We have answered you regarding your earlier query that the court can consider it as a commercial company but the lawyer needs to show it.
