Claiming the bounced cheque amount after criminal court judgement
1
Q: 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?

Payment of the full credit card dues after paying the fine
3
Q: Dear Sir,
I have a credit card cheque bounce case of AED 57,000. I've already paid the fine of AED 2020 in the police station but the bank is still calling me a for the payment of AED 57,000.
They told me they're filing a civil case against me. Please tell me about the further procedure if they file a civil case, and if there is any travel ban or any other fine on me.

Can the owner of a company escape if there is a cheque execution and travel ban on him? 0
I raised a cheque execution case against a company and its owner and won. There is a travel ban on him. I was receiving installments for three months and now he stopped paying.
The court after request summoned him. In total, he paid only 30% of the owed money. I found that his company license is expired and also in the month his visa will expire.
Does he have any option to avoid payment?
Please note he was deceived by showing no money in his bank account and no assets in his name but he is running multiple businesses.
Also a month ago, he tried to convince me to lift the travel ban but I refused to do so. But he submitted a guarantee and left UAE.
Now the status shows he is back in the UAE and the travel ban imposed again. But after that, he stopped payment.
Is there a 1% chance of him not paying me the remaining money?
Is there a way he can leave the country through the Amnesty program or any of this sort?

I lost the appeal filed by my landlord. What can I do if he illegally keeps my last cheque and deposit? 0
I got RDSC judgment in my favor awarding termination of my lease from May 2024 to May 2025. The landlord made an appeal and lied about my request for termination on 4 December.
My lawyer didn't give any response so the landlord won the appeal. Recently, the Landlord asked for the keys back and said I have overstayed since 4 Dec for not returning the key.
He said he could cash my last rent cheque and wouldn't return the deposit. I gave him my friend's address and said to pick up the key from there but to return my deposit and last rent cheque but he does not agree.
He wants to keep the deposit.
