Q: Dear sir/madam, I have received an SMS from the Dubai court that a travel ban has been issued to me due to cheque execution. What should I do?

Q: Dubai Court of Execution ordered me to return a cheque. This cheque was issued in a civil transaction that is already annulled. Also, the cheque is already expired. But Court of Execution gave a Travel Ban against me until I return this cheque. The truth is that this cheque was issued in my name but given to real estate agent for safekeeping, the cheque was never handed to me, I don't have the cheque. How can I now remove the travel ban against me? Is it common for the Execution Court to issue a travel ban in such cases even though the Court did not make me financially or criminally liable for anything?

Q: Morning Sir, The following details are available on my cheque execution case: File Location Electronic File First Session Date Registration Date [-----] Next Session Date Case Status: Reserved Jurisdiction Area Ninth Execution Circuit Hall Remote Litigation Chamber No further details until now. What do they mean by this reserved? Please help, thanks! Regard, B. A.
