10
Q: Hi,
I just want to know the procedure for liquidating the bank guarantee of an insurance broker with the Insurance Authority.
The labour court awarded a judgment in favour of a broker's employees. Now, these employees applied for execution and submitted a copy of the Bank Guarantee amounting to AED 3 Million.
They wish to liquidate this bank guarantee based on the amounts awarded in their respective judgments.
Do you have any idea about the process? How long this will take?

Execution of a judgement in a recovery case
0
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

Precautions during court proceedings to guarantee your rights at execution 
3
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

Inability to pay a cheque amount after the issuance of an execution writ order
1
Q: Dear sir/madam,
My question relates to the new rules regarding the possibility of filing for "cheque execution" with the court.
What happens if, after the Execution Writ Order from the court, the person (issuer of the cheque) is not financially capable of paying the cheque amount nor does not have any assets (movable or immovable) to cover the amount of the cheque?
What will the consequences be in such an instance?

س: السلام عليكم،
مرحبًا!
لدي شركة تأجير معدات بناء، وقد استأجرت إحدى الشركات معدات من شركتي ولكن لم تسدد مبالغ التأجير بعد أن أنجزت أعمالها وأعادت المعدات.
لدي مستندات تُثبت ذلك مثل طلب تأجير صادر عن الشركة المستأجرة وإيصال استلام المعدات الذي يوضح المبالغ المتفق عليها بالإضافة إلى مراسلات عبر البريد الإلكتروني.
ما الطريق القانوني لتحصيل المبالغ المستحقة؟ هل هو أمر أداء أم دعوى تجارية؟

How to serve a notice of writ and obligation to pay when the debtor is unreachable?




2
Q: Dear Lawyers,
I have initiated an execution case against a debtor. As the first step, I sent a "notice of writ and obligation to pay" to the debtor's advocate. The advocate refused to accept the notice.
Then I tried to send an email and SMS to the debtor. However, the court system said "No email found on Emirates ID" and "System refused to send SMS" because the debtor has outdated information on their Emirates ID.
Question 1: Is a notice considered served 7 days after the court issues it, or 7 days after the debtor receives it?
Question 2: What is the next step if email, SMS, and physical delivery to the advocate fail? I do not have the debtor's physical address.
2.1 Is there a system to publish the notice on the court website? How do I petition for this?
2.2 Can I petition to publish it in a newspaper? How do I petition for this?
2.3 Are there any other steps I should take to notify the debtor?

View allCan a debt agency access AECB reports without consent for a 15-year-old closed case? 0
Dear Respected Lawyers,
Subject: Request for Legal Advice Regarding Unlawful Practices by a Debt Collection Agency
I would greatly appreciate your advice and guidance regarding a troubling issue my colleague is facing with a collection agency.
The company has been contacting the employer, urging them to ask my colleague to get in touch with them regarding a supposed liability.
This claim is related to a 15-year-old closed dispute with a bank credit card, and the issue seems to stem from outdated and inaccurate information on the AECB report.
Our main concerns are as follows:
Unauthorized Access: The company is accessing her AECB report without her consent. She has never given permission for them to retrieve or view her personal financial information.
How is it possible for a third-party agency to openly access and track AECB reports, especially for a dispute that was resolved 15 years ago?

I was evicted from my apartment to be sold but it was gifted and rented at a higher price. What can I do? 0
I was evicted from my apartment after living there for five years. My landlord informed me a year in advance that the lease would not be renewed because he intended to sell the property.
Prior to this, he attempted to impose a rent increase that was not compliant with RERA regulations, which I refused to accept. He then served me with an official Dubai Court eviction notice, citing the need to take back the property for sale.
Five months after I moved out, I discovered the property was rented out at a much higher price. Upon further investigation, I found that the ownership was transferred as a "Gift" rather than a sale.
This makes it seem like the eviction was only to raise the rent rather than a genuine need to sell.
Do I have a valid case for wrongful eviction against my landlord?
Also, under Dubai law, does transferring ownership as a "Gift" hold the same legal grounds as selling in justifying eviction?

I invested money in a business but my partner is removing me out from partnership. Can I pursue legal action? 0
Hi
I'm an Irish citizen and a resident of the United Kingdom. I got investment fraud in Dubai. I invested money into a business with a Pakistani national guy in March 2024 via bank transfer into his business account.
Now he's giving back the money which I invested in business after 9 months. He's preparing a letter from a local lawyer to kick me out of the business. I do not have any other option than to take out at least my money.
But it's unfair to me that he used my money in business and took all the advantage.
Some people say to me that if you claim money or take legal action against him, it will take too much time and I need to travel to Dubai to appear in court because it is a civil matter. But I'm not a resident.
How can I follow the civil case there?
That's why my partner knows that I can not do anything and this case keeps running long time and in the end nothing happens. But I'm thinking that I will submit a complaint through my embassy and I also have a solicitor in the United Kingdom.
