Q: I gave a person 250,000 AED as a cash loan. I got a signed IOU letter with two witnesses. Later on, the borrower gave me cheques for 100,000 AED and gave me a letter stating that this was partial payment of a bigger loan. When the cheques bounced, I started a commercial case for 100,000 AED on the basis of the cheques, won it, and started an execution case. Then I made a new commercial case for the remainder of 150,000 AED on the basis of the 250,000 AED IOU. I won the first instance and the appeal level. I lost at the honorable cassation court. The cassation court ruled that this new case for 150,000 AED was a repeat of the old 100,000 AED case and should not be judged again. It was RES JUDICATA. What options are left for me? Do I lose my right for the remainder of 150,000 or only lose the right to pursue it legally? What steps should I take to recover my remainder of 150,000 AED? Thank you!

Q: How many days is allowed for an appeal to the Court of Cassation relating to a Personal Status case? Is it 30 days or 60?

Q: I had a commercial cassation case in Dubai. The honourable court remanded the case back to the appeal court with a new tribunal. My Question: Will the court automatically register a new appeal case for me? Or do I have to register a new appeal case myself? I also need a lawyer to represent me in this case. Thank you

Q: Hello sirs, My criminal misdemeanor case has been moved back from the cassation court to the appeal court. What happens next? Thank you!

بطبعه وطبيعته، كان القانون وما زال كائناً متطوراً وجسداً متجدداً، ولولا هذه الصفات فيه، لما حقق الغرض الذي من أجله خُلق ووُضع. وسمات التطور والتجدد ليست قاصرةً على فرع دون آخر، أو نوع من بين الأنواع، بل هي سمات ملحوظة في القانونين العام والخاص، وفي المجالين، الموضوعي والإجرائي.
