Continuing judicial procedures of a bounced cheque case after leaving the UAE
Dear All,
Greetings,
A company I made a business with issued me a cheque with insufficient funds and I reported the case to Dubai Police.
Kindly be noted that the company license will end on 26/01/2021, so would I be able to file a civil case against the company to get my dues after that date?
And what will happen if I or the issuer of the cheque leave UAE? Am I able to file a civil case from my home country?
Thanks in Advance!
Dear Questioner,
Absolutely yes, you still have the right to sue this company before the civil court in order to recover your money back.
If the issuer left the UAE, you can continue working on the civil case until you get a judgment against him. Once it is done, you will be able to execute this judgment in your home country as well.
We can assist you in criminal and civil cases.
If you are interested in the aforementioned, please do not hesitate to contact us via phone or email.
Thanks!
Dear Questioner,
1. Filing a case against the company:
You can file a civil case against the company after 26/01/2021 for recovery of your dues.
2. Issuer leaving the country:
A travel ban is issued automatically upon filing the complaint before the police station and is removed upon settlement or completing the term of imprisonment.
Since you have already filed a complaint in the police station, there must be a travel ban on the cheque issuer.
3. Filing a case from your home country:
You can authorize a lawyer in the UAE by issuing a Power of Attorney (POA) to represent or act on your behalf. After you issue the POA, the lawyer can file the case and represent on your behalf.
You can contact me via phone or write to me via email for a detailed discussion and assistance.
Thanks!
