هل يمكن الطعن في الشيكات بعد فتح ملف تنفيذ

1
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!

Can I cancel my house sale contract without extra fees after personal plans changed? 0
Dear Lawyers,
I signed a Form F with a buyer for the sale of my house as we were planning to leave the country. The contract was signed about a month ago, but the handover is not until August.
Due to personal circumstances changing, we are no longer leaving Dubai and would like to cancel Form F.
The Form F contract stipulates that we have to pay the buyer 10% of the purchase value. The real estate agent is now claiming that we also have to pay the buyer's real estate commission and the conveyancing fee.
Our understanding is that the 10% penalty is the only penalty. Which is correct, and what are the next steps to dispute this?
Also, is there any way to dispute the 10% itself under the law due to personal circumstances changing?
