Hi sir,

As per the new UAE law, you cannot file a police case for a cheque bounce but you can file a civil execution case against the cheque bounce and travel ban for the opposite party.

For more information, please contact us via phone or email.

Kind Regards,

Hi,

No, as per the new law, you can not file a police complaint but directly file a case for execution.

How much is the cheque amount?

If you need further details, please contact us via email.

Dear questioner,

No, but you can file direct execution "enforcement" with the court of the urgent matters which will turn into criminal procedure if he didn't pay.
