How to file a performance order lawsuit against a company and its managers?

A civil company that I had dealings with has 2 partners. Each partner is also the manager of the company.

The civil company had sent me a statement of account and a letter acknowledging a debt. They confirmed in writing that they will pay me AED 153,500 on 10th September 2021.

The letter is on the company's letterhead and has the sign of one of the two managers/partners of the company.

They did not pay me till now.

I wish to register a Payment Order/Performance Order (Amr Al Arida) lawsuit against the company since my right is unconditionally confirmed in writing.

QUESTION: Should I make the lawsuit only against the civil company as respondent, or should I also mention the two managers/partners as respondents i.e. a total of 3 respondents?

Please guide me.

Thank you.

Kindly send me all the documents on email in order to guide you and for any other query related to it.

You need to send a legal notice first then file a case against the company's legal representative who is the director.

Could you share the said letter of acknowledgment for our review via WhatsApp?

Thank you

Dear questioner,

You should register a payment order against the company itself and provide the court with a copy of the trade license.

By doing such, everything will be clear for the court.

For more information, please contact us through phone call or Whatsapp.

So you advise that the managers should not be mentioned as respondents when registering the performance order lawsuit?

Dear questioner,

you should register a performance order case against the company with their trade license showing both the partners.

Kindly contact us directly on the phone or by email for a detailed discussion.

Should I include the two Partners/Managers as respondents in the case, along with the company i.e. 3 respondents in total in the lawsuit?

If both the partners are managers (as per trade license), then you don't need to do anything else.

The two partners are not mentioned as managers on the Trade license. But they are mentioned as managers on the MOU.

In earlier cases, I did not mention the manager as a respondent. Then during execution, it was very difficult to get a decision to apply a travel ban or detention on the managers.

Is it allowed to specifically mention the managers as respondents while filing the case?

Is it wise to specifically add the managers' names as respondents in the case?
