What is the penalty of a bounced cheque presented by a bank
Hi!
A bank has filed a case against me recently with Dubai Police for defaulting on loan payments.
They have presented a cheque of AED 261,000 and the police have given me a date after a week for the court hearing. The actual loan amount pending is AED 147,000.
What sort of penalties can be imposed by the court on me and do I need to hire a lawyer for this hearing?
Dear Questioner,
The penalty for this case will be fine and you can appeal it to reduce the amount of the fine.
You need to hire a lawyer because after the criminal case they will file a civil case to claim the amount of the cheque.

Thank you.
Dear Client,
Good day!
The case I guess it is only a criminal case file. The bank when they file a civil case you need to hire a lawyer.
At present, you need to hire a lawyer to go for a settlement meeting with the bank so that you can put structure to the loan and put a payment plan to settle the loan.
In the meantime, you can pay the fine and clear the criminal case.
