How to recover the amount of a bounced cheque without filing a civil case?
Dear sir/madam,
I registered a case against a company for a cheque bounce totaling AED 660k. The manager was arrested and then released and now the owner has been caught who flew into Dubai and was caught at the airport.
What do I need to do now? If I don't file a civil case, what happens in that case? And if I file a case in court, how much do I need to pay?
My business is at loss and I can't afford any more expenses. I came to know that after paying a fine of AED 5k, these guys will be free and can travel out of the country.
In that case, they will never pay my money, and if I file a civil case, I will just keep incurring more expenses. Is this right?
Hi,
Without filing a civil case, you will never recover your money. The criminal case is only for paying a fine or punishment.
For filing a court case, apart from lawyer fees, you need to pay court fees of 36,000 AED and other expenses like translation cost, newspaper publication, etc.
