Q: Hi Dr Amira, I am a Hindu Indian expat living in the UAE. My husband and I have legal cases going on in India and we are living separately in the UAE. My husband filed disobedience case against me here and I won the case in the Court of First Instance, but he filed an appeal and he won it in the Appeal Court. The judgement says I did not provide enough evidence, while I have provided all attested court documents from India. How can I get the court to re-look at the documents? Until when do I have time to file the appeal? I used legal support from a law firm but they have not helped much. Can you let me know how I can get the court to re-look at the documents, please?

س: السلام عليكم، أُصدِر الحكم في دعوى استئناف عقاري بتاريخ 15-04-2021. أنا المستأنِف وقد رُفِض الاستئناف وتأيّد الحكم المُستأنَف. السؤال هنا: نريد تسجيل التماس إعادة النظر على حكم الاستئناف والطعن. ما المدة القانونية لكليهما؟ وهل يجوز تسجيل كلاهما؟

The law promulgates UAE Criminal Procedural Law (Penal Procedures Law) which governs criminal procedures in the UAE. This law applies to the procedures relating to offences whose punishments are not specified, dogma and punitive offences, and blood money, if they do not violate the Sharia rules.
