إجراءات رفع قضية ضد المدين الذي هرب إلى بلده الأم
تدين لنا تلك الشركة بمبلغ يقارب الـ 1.8 مليون درهم إماراتي، حيث أن الشيك الخاص بهم قد اُرتجع.
قمنا برفع قضية ضد الشركة في دائرة شرطة دبي، ومنذ حينها عاد مالك الشركة إلى لبنان.
على الرغم من أننا لدينا تواصل معه، إلا أنه لا يلتزم بموعد السداد لنا.
هل يمكننا رفع قضية ضده في لبنان؟ وإن كانت الإجابة بنعم، كيف يمكننا المضي قدمًا فيها؟

I hope you are doing fine.
Pursuant to your query and in order to advise you on what necessary step to take, it will be important to review the contract entered into with the Lebanese company.

Dear Sir/ Madam
In such cases, one should always adopt both the options of criminal as well as civil action simultaneously. This is important because in a criminal case as long as the accused is not arrested, he is free to leave the country.
On the other hand, if one files a travel ban application followed by a civil case within 7 days from the date of the order of travel ban, it becomes difficult for the accused not only to continue fighting the case but also negotiate any settlement.
In most circumstances, he prefers paying the full amount. Most importantly, his presence is totally secured in the region and naturally, recovery chances are almost guaranteed.
One must always remember that filing only a criminal case ensures imprisonment but not recovery of the dues.
However, in a situation like yours, it is advisable to file a civil case in the UAE through appointed lawyers and thereafter execute the judgment in Lebanon and recover your outstanding dues.
