What are the cheque regulations in case of a bounced cheque case?

I just received today a notice from ADJD that there is an Enforcement Cheque case filed against me today and I am asked to appear in court this January 2, 2023.

What should I do?

Could you please guide me on this matter?

Your legal advice is highly appreciated.

The bounced cheque was previously punishable by imprisonment and a fine, but after amending the law, there is currently no criminal case for the cheque, due to, or closed account, but the criminal case is in the case of forgery.

The situation is that a civil case is being registered and some procedures are being taken to collect the amount.

If there is a problem or issue regarding bounced cheques, or you have had a previous judgment or action against you, it can be canceled.

It is preferable to appoint a lawyer to attend the hearing with you.
