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?

Q: How to raise a request in the MOJ e-filing system (Smart justice portal) requesting the judge to obtain reports from the police and social support center? I'm a plaintiff (husband). On the 7th of Mar 2024, the first instance divorce judgment was provided based on Article 7 of Federal Law 41 of 2022 and Article 133 of the Code of Civil Procedures. The defendant (wife) was requested to pay expenses and fees. A verbal request was made to the judge during the trial by the plaintiff, but the court doesn't have these records as per the court front desk. This report can prove a physical assault, infidelity, and written agreements made with social support and the defendant did abide by it, as the plaintiff was forced to initiate divorce. Is possible to raise it now after the judgment since it is an important record for future child custody? Or same request can be made again during the child custody case? And is it recommended to only proceed with moral damages and financial damages claims as of now?

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.

The provisions of this Federal Decree-Law No. (31) of 2021 Promulgating the Crimes and Penalties Law, known as the "New UAE Penal Code", governs criminal actions in the United Arab Emirates. The New Penal Code repeals the previous UAE Penal Code (Federal Law No. (3) of 1987 Promulgating the Penal Code).
