21
س: السلام عليكم.
أعطيت شيك لشخص منذ عام 2013 وسددت له ربع قيمته. بعد ذلك تأثر عملي ولم يعد باستطاعتي أن أدفع، ولم يتقدم بالشيك إلا في العام 2018 وتم فتح البلاغ.
كيف أتعامل مع هذه المشكلة علماً أنه قدم الشيك للبنك بعد مدة طويلة تزيد عن 6 أشهر؟
شكراً

مدة مرور الزمن على دعوى شيك بدون رصيد
3
س: السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته،،
تم ارتجاع الشيك لسبب عدم كفاية الرصيد و تم استلام الشيك من البنك لأخذ الإجراءات القانونية اللازمة و كان الحدث بتاريخ يونيو 2016.
ومنذ ذلك الوقت لم يتم تقديم بلاغ للشرطة أو النيابة ولا حتى المحكمة المدنية. حتى تاريخة لم يمضِ على ارتجاع الشيك مدة سنتين و هي المدة المحددة بالمادة 638 من قانون المعاملات التجارية.
وسؤالي هو التالي و ذو شقين:
1- هل يمكن البدء بالإجراءات الجزائية أم علينا البدء بالإجراءات المدنية؟
1- وبشكل عام هل تسري مدة التقادم المحددة بالمادة أعلاه على الشيك من تاريخ ارتجاع الشيك أم يتم اعتماد آلية أخرى للتعامل مع الشيكات؟
لكم جزيل الشكر

Filing a civil case for the recovery of an old debt
2
Q: Hi.
A local company owes me AED 900,000. The cheques bounced and the owner/signatory ran away to the UK.
The company is still running but I'm not sure if they have any valuable assets. The criminal court ruled 1 year and 3 months imprisonment for the owner who is still in the UK.
The judgment was issued in 2013. Can I open a civil case now after 5 years? Does the judgment issued by the criminal court ever expire?
Thanks,
Moe

Liability of daughter against the debts of her father 3
To whom this may concern,
I returned back to Australia after 10 years in Abu Dhabi in 2015. As I turn 18 this year in November, I plan on visiting friends who are in the UAE for about a month.
I would like to travel with them around the country freely without any prosecution from local officials.
My father had to leave the UAE in 2016 for health reasons and has unpaid debts in the UAE, Abu Dhabi specifically.
I would like to know and have it in writing if I would be able to travel freely to the UAE at the end of the year and that I am not liable for my parents' debts/problems as I have no legal responsibilities for their actions.
Kind regards.

Bounced cheque case for a loan after paying the fine 1
Hi
I have got a call from Dubai Police last week regarding my cheque bounce which I issued to the bank due to default on loan payment on time.
I paid a visit & they referred me to the prosecution & I got fine which I already paid and got clearance.
I want to know if the bank can still file a case against me & I still need to contact the bank for settlement or case clearance.
I am getting too many calls even after that, and the debt collector is actually harassing with the worst behaviour & back to back calls which actually ruined my personal life and put me in depression with high bp.
Thank you
