Claiming the bounced cheque amount after criminal court judgement
For a 100,000 bounced cheque, the decision from the criminal court is 20,000 fine and pay the full amount.
My question is that, before the civil case is made, does the travel ban still exist or it's removed after the sentence from the criminal court?
Should an agreement be made between two parties to avoid the civil case (need to pay to the civil court)?
Is the fee of making a civil case required to be paid by the people who made the bounced cheque?
Dear Sir/ Madam,
Thank you for getting in touch with me on this.
As per the facts stated by you, once you pay the 20,000 fine, the travel ban will be lifted.
The other party can file for a civil case and apply to put a travel ban on you. But in between, you will be free to travel in and out of the UAE.
You may enter into a settlement agreement with the other side so as to save litigation and court fees.
The court in the civil case may order you to pay the court fee and other side's lawyer fee (minimal mostly), however, this order is made by the way of judgement and not interim.
I trust I have dealt with all your queries.
