Legal implications of civil case judgment against someone serving criminal sentence
Dear Sir/Madam,
Someone is serving a 6-month sentence for a criminal offense and deportation in jail in Dubai. His sentence will end in January. However, a new civil case has been filed against him for 29 million Dirhams (AED).
He did not have a lawyer to represent him in this case, so if the judge does not rule in his favor due to lack of evidence, what will happen?
Will he stay in jail after his sentence for longer if he cannot afford to pay the 29 million Dirhams?
What if he appeals the judgment of the civil case? The appeal process can take a long time.
Does this mean he will still stay in jail after January because he has deportation pending until the appeal of the civil case is complete?
Or will he be sent back to his country in January, even though he still has the new civil case pending?
Thank you!
Dear Client,
Thanks for your question! I hope you are doing well. I will definitely assist you in this matter.
Once the criminal sentence and deportation are completed by January, if civil case judgment is enforced by that time and an arrest warrant is ordered, then he will stay in Jail.
I would suggest you appeal the judgment so that you can stay in the execution procedure for some time.
Furthermore, I would recommend you send me your civil case documents on our email so that I can guide you further regarding the delay of the execution procedure.
