Q: I registered a Performance Order lawsuit. I received a decision in my favour. The respondent received a notice to register an appeal within 15 days. The 15 days have elapsed. What is the next step to register an execution case? There is no judgement in the file, only the decision obliging the respondent to pay and then the decision that respondent has 15 days to file an appeal. Should I make a petition for "Executive Writ" now or register an execution case directly?

Q: Hi, One of my business partners completed a 3-year jail term as he refused to settle the judgment amount of more than AED 200,000 in the UAE. My question is how to collect the amount from him? A travel ban was already imposed 3 years ago. Do I need to approach the court and file a case against him again? Any other legal formalities that I have to follow through court or police station? Please let me know by email. Thank you

Q: I am seeking compensation for damages from a company that used my name in fraud. I have finished the case until the appeal court and the execution court has ordered that the company assets and accounts be attached until they pay the sum required as per the judgement. The company has been closed since last year and has no more money left in the bank. If there are no more assets of the company I could go after since the company no longer exists, how else can I get justice aside from the words written on a few sheets of my case judgement paper? I've spent a lot and exerted a lot of effort seeking justice for myself, and when it is time to collect what the judge has determined what I should have, apparently there is nothing left. Is there any other legal recourse? Thanks

Q: Dear sir/madam, What is the period allowed for a respondent to register a grievance or an appeal to a performance order decision of 15 Million AED? Is it 15 days from receipt of notice of performance order decision? Or 30 days? I heard that some recent cabinet decisions changed the time allowed for registration of the grievance or appeal against the performance order decision.

Q: Dear sir/madam, We are three separate creditors. One company owes us money (three different amounts, three different unrelated reasons). Is it possible that we make one lawsuit with three of us as plaintiffs, and each plaintiff writes his pleas? The company is the sole respondent. Then the court issues one verdict mentioning the rights of each of the three plaintiffs. Or do we need to register three separate lawsuits?

س: السلام عليكم، لدي استفسارات بخصوص الشيكات المرتجعة. عندي شيكات مرتجعة وسبب الارتجاع عدم كفاية الرصيد. ١. هل يحدث طعن في الشيكات بعد فتح ملف تنفيذ؟ وهل هناك نماذج لأسباب الطعن أو الرفض؟ ٢. بعض الشيكات تعتبر رأس مال وبعضها تعتبر أرباح. هل يحق للطرف الثاني رفض الوفاء بالوعود والطعن بشيكات الأرباح؟ ٣. حسب علمي، صاحب الشيكات لديه أموال وأملاك وحدث تنازل لعدم تسديد الأموال. متى ينظر القاضي لآخر التنازلات من أملاك صاحب الشيك والمدة؟ شكرًا مقدمًا!

There is an execution against me in the UAE; what should I do? How do I cancel the arrest warrant and summons, and how do I deal with the travel ban? Dear readers, we present this simplified article, in which we explain the implementation procedures briefly, how the defendant can deal with them, and the options he can take to enforce the judgment smoothly while decreasing the damages of implementation as much as possible.
