1
Q: Is it possible to put a travel ban on the manager of a debtor company in a civil execution lawsuit?
I asked for a travel ban on the manager of a company.
The judge refused because the identity of the manager was not declared in the trade license (But it shows in the company MOA and some final verdicts issued by the court).
I then filed a grievance against the execution decision.
But the grievance verdict was that I cannot pursue a manager to pay unless I prove mistake, fraud or deception by the manager.
So, is it still possible to put a travel ban or detention on the company manager due to the default of payment of the company, even without proving any mistake, fraud or deception of the manager?
Ref Article 186 of Cabinet Decision No. 57 On The Implementing Regulation Of Federal Law No. (11) Of 1992 On The Civil Procedure Law. The law allows travel ban/detention of any legal representative.

Is it possible to hold a general manager responsible personally for a company debt?




1
Q: I am being pursued for a debt of 290,000 dirhams in the UAE by twofour54, the media free zone in Abu Dhabi. The debt is historic, 10 years old, and it is a company debt, not a personal one.
I am a UK citizen currently visiting Dubai and wish to contest the disputed amount. I was the general manager, so I’m unclear why I am being pursued personally. Can a settlement be negotiated?
I am looking for experts with experience in this field.
Could you please provide examples of successful settlements you have achieved in similar cases in your reply?
Many thanks

Can I travel to Qatar if a collection agency told me I have a travel ban for an unpaid loan? 1
Salam,
I received an email from a company in the UAE - which is a collection agency - informing me that I had a travel ban and arrest warrant issued in the UAE for an unpaid loan a week ago.
I currently live in the US. I have sent them many emails asking them how can I pay or make installments to settle this amount of 332,430 dirhams. I am currently working with them and trying to resolve the issue.
My question is I would like to know if I travel for 5 days to Doha, Qatar in May, will I be detained or I will be ok?
I don’t believe so I just want to be sure because I will be with my family.
Thank you again.
