Q: How long does it take to get an enforceable judgment before the courts of Abu Dhabi?

Q: We had rented out 2 x ISO tank containers to a local company in Dubai, who used it for transportation and storage of White Spirit and/or Ethanol. The rent rate was US$13/tank/day and they stopped paying for many months. After repeated emails, and constant pressure and personal visits, they returned the ISO tanks in damaged condition. Now the total unpaid rent, transportation cost and damage cost, is approx. AED 25,000 total. What is my legal remedy? What are my options? Will it be worth it to litigate? What is your advice? Thanks.

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.
