Possibility of cancelling or delaying civil court fees


3
Q: Hi All,
I have been cheated by a group of people and had filed the criminal case. The criminal court has ordered jail term and deportation to the criminal and also passed the order - "Referring the civil action to competent civil court without any expenses".
My understanding is that I don't need to pay the court fees which are AED 40000, as my claim amount is 1 million. However, my lawyer is saying that I need to pay the court fees.
I don't have that much money as I have lost all my money in cheating. Can someone clarify if I need to pay the court fees?
I will be very much thankful for your insights.
Thanks
I.

Procedure for waiving the court fees in a labour case
1
Q: The Tawafouq centre transferred my case to the court and they gave me papers to submit in Al Adhid centre. When I went there for the submission of my paper, they took all the papers and made a file for my case.
They asked me to pay the court fee of AED 6635 to register my case in the court, but I don't have money because my company did not give me a salary for the last 4 months.
I want to know if I can pay the court fee after the judgment or its necessary to pay the court fee first then your case will be registered.
Please explain; my total amount is 131665.

We have received the verdict for our rental increase case. The judge has decided on a 20% increase.
The agency is now asking us to cover all costs and expenses. Our legal advisor says that this should be shared, but they are insisting that we are liable to pay fully.
Please can you give me some advice on this?

Can I proceed with my investment case without paying the court fee upfront?




1
Q: Dear Lawyers,
The judge has again rejected our second request to delay the court fees. Our lawyer has advised that we can proceed with the re-registration of the case as soon as the court fee payment is received from your end.
The court fee is 21k, which I am unable to pay. Is there any option to request paying the fee after the case is won? This case involves a 400k investment where I didn’t get my money back or any profit.
I went to court for legal action and have already paid 14k to the law firm, but now I am unable to pay further. I don’t know what to do.
Please advise!

Can I cancel my house sale contract without extra fees after personal plans changed? 0
Dear Lawyers,
I signed a Form F with a buyer for the sale of my house as we were planning to leave the country. The contract was signed about a month ago, but the handover is not until August.
Due to personal circumstances changing, we are no longer leaving Dubai and would like to cancel Form F.
The Form F contract stipulates that we have to pay the buyer 10% of the purchase value. The real estate agent is now claiming that we also have to pay the buyer's real estate commission and the conveyancing fee.
Our understanding is that the 10% penalty is the only penalty. Which is correct, and what are the next steps to dispute this?
Also, is there any way to dispute the 10% itself under the law due to personal circumstances changing?

Can I request reopening a civil case if the judgment was in my absence due to sending notices to the wrong address? 0
Lawyers misunderstood my question. Please read carefully and then guide me.
Case Type: Civil Case
Claim amount: 400,000
Paid: 65,000
Reason: Commercial agreement of supply
Emirate: Ajman
This case was registered in 2022. The judgment was in my absence, as notices were sent to the wrong address.
I was sent to jail. I made a down payment, bailed, and paid some more amount as installments. The total paid amount is AED 65000.
Now, again, an arrest warrant is issued as I did not pay the remaining 335,000 of the claim.
According to me, I had to pay only this amount because the executioner made a wrong claim, not as per the genuine claim.
So I want to reopen the case file.
I want the court to reinvestigate and start the case from scratch.
1) How can I make that request?
2) What documents are required?
3) Chances of reopening of case?
4) Cancellation of arrest warrant
Please guide me in detail, as I will do everything myself, as I cannot afford a lawyer right now.

I booked a hotel stay for Eid through a travel agency and it was canceled two days before Eid. What to do? 0
I booked a hotel stay for Eid through a travel agency two weeks before Eid. The travel agency confirmed the booking on payment.
One day before Eid, the agency reached out, saying they had an issue with the supplier/hotel and the booking would be cancelled.
They offered alternative hotels that didn’t match the original property. I suggested some properties, and they couldn’t arrange them, or they asked for further payment, so I didn’t book anything through them.
What are my rights to a refund and compensation, as I had to book other arrangements separately at a significantly higher cost due to the last-minute prices?
It also caused significant emotional distress, less than 24 hours before the holiday. To which authority can a complaint be made in case of an unsatisfactory outcome?
Both the agency and the hotel are in Dubai.

If a bank has filed an execution cheques case through the Dubai Courts. Is a travel ban automatically applied? 0
A bank has filed an execution cheques case through the Dubai Courts due to nonpayment of a personal loan and credit card.
Is a travel ban automatically applied?
I looked on the Dubai Courts website, and it says the judge has issued a “reserved” order for my case.
Furthermore, when the bank emails, they threaten me with a travel ban. So I am assuming there is no travel ban issued (but I don’t know). I haven’t received any notice of a travel ban.
If there is a travel ban, how do I find out?
I have checked the Dubai police app, and there are no financial crimes against me.
Please advise if you know.
