Q: I had a commercial cassation case in Dubai. The honourable court remanded the case back to the appeal court with a new tribunal. My Question: Will the court automatically register a new appeal case for me? Or do I have to register a new appeal case myself? I also need a lawyer to represent me in this case. Thank you

Q: Hi Dr Amira, I am a Hindu Indian expat living in the UAE. My husband and I have legal cases going on in India and we are living separately in the UAE. My husband filed disobedience case against me here and I won the case in the Court of First Instance, but he filed an appeal and he won it in the Appeal Court. The judgement says I did not provide enough evidence, while I have provided all attested court documents from India. How can I get the court to re-look at the documents? Until when do I have time to file the appeal? I used legal support from a law firm but they have not helped much. Can you let me know how I can get the court to re-look at the documents, please?

Q: I filed a criminal case for physical domestic violence, defamation, and threats made towards me in December 2018. After a long process in the public prosecution and evidence collected as well as witness testimony, the first instance court gave a judgment to the accused of 3 months imprisonment, deportation and a 10K fine in November 2019. The accused appealed the case and, on ALL three charges, he got "innocent". I made the request to the public prosecution to re-appeal the appeal and send it to the cassation court. They sent me a rejection SMS 1 day after I made the request. How can this be? The public prosecution is supposed to be my defender in this case. I do not feel safe as a single woman living here anymore. It is not easy for me to leave because I have children who attend school here and he threatened them as well. I need to know if there are any steps I can take to make the cassation courts take this seriously and look at the file again.

Q: Is it possible to register a Cassation lawsuit against a verdict of "Appeal to Commercial Execution"? I registered an "Appeal to Commercial Execution" lawsuit. I am not happy with the verdict since I feel it has an error of interpretation and implementation of the law. What can I do? Is it possible to register a Cassation lawsuit? Is it possible to meet the Honorable Appeal judge? Is there any other way to contest the verdict of an "Appeal to Commercial Execution"?

With the introduction of the new procedures for obtaining a power of attorney (POA) remotely in the UAE, after it was mandatory to appear in person in front of the notary public as a global rule to ensure the identity and intention of the person requesting a POA, we put between your hands this brief guide for how you get it done.

The law promulgates UAE Civil Procedures Code (Civil Procedure Law) which governs civil procedures in the United Arab Emirates, including the prosecution before the courts, litigation and execution.
