س: السلام عليكم،
لدي شيك مستحق بتاريخ ١٥ أكتوبر ٢٠٢٢. حصلت على رفض من البنك لعدم كفاية الرصيد بتاريخ ١ فبراير ٢٠٢٣. تواصل معي الشخص المُستحقّ عليه الشيك وطلب تقسيط المبلغ بشكل ودي.
السؤال:
ما المدة القانونية التي يمكنني خلالها تقديم طلب تنفيذ شيكات في المحكمة وطلب حرمان من السفر في حالة عدم التزامه؟ وهل تُحتَسَب من تاريخ الاستحقاق أم من تاريخ الرفض؟

هل يمكن الطعن في الشيكات بعد فتح ملف تنفيذ

1
س: السلام عليكم،
لدي استفسارات بخصوص الشيكات المرتجعة. عندي شيكات مرتجعة وسبب الارتجاع عدم كفاية الرصيد.
١. هل يحدث طعن في الشيكات بعد فتح ملف تنفيذ؟ وهل هناك نماذج لأسباب الطعن أو الرفض؟
٢. بعض الشيكات تعتبر رأس مال وبعضها تعتبر أرباح. هل يحق للطرف الثاني رفض الوفاء بالوعود والطعن بشيكات الأرباح؟
٣. حسب علمي، صاحب الشيكات لديه أموال وأملاك وحدث تنازل لعدم تسديد الأموال. متى ينظر القاضي لآخر التنازلات من أملاك صاحب الشيك والمدة؟
شكرًا مقدمًا!

Will you get a travel ban for failing to pay credit card debts?
1
Q: Hi Sir/Madam,
My name is L. I had 3 credit cards debts and I was terminated from my job in Dubai in 2020 because of Corona.
Since then I went back home but was still making the minimum payments to the banks until July 2021. Until now I am getting calls from those banks saying they will bounce the cheque and file a case against me.
Since the new law has been passed, I know the bounced cheque can be directly be used as an execution deed without the need to go through a long civil case.
My question is when I am back in Dubai, will I get a travel ban and/or jail term?
If yes, then I am assuming it is for not honoring the judgment order, then what is normally the term?
Kindly advise

If the Public Prosecution appeals a not-guilty verdict with no new evidence, will it stay the same? 0
Hi Sir,
My husband had a judgment where he was found not guilty, as the misdemeanor court stated that it doubts the charges against the accused and found no conclusive evidence except the statements in the report files.
The court considered this invalid because there was no translator. After this, if the Public Prosecution appeals, will the verdict remain unchanged and be upheld if there is nothing more than this
Can you shed some light from your experience on this issue and say if the result will remain the same?

كيف يمكنني الاستعلام عن قضية إبعاد أمني ومحاولة العودة إلى الإمارات؟ 0
السلام عليكم،
أود الاستفسار بشأن قضية إبعاد زوج خالتي من دولة الإمارات العربية المتحدة. زوج خالتي كان مقيماً في الإمارات وكان قد وُلد وترعرع هناك.
في عام 2013 تم إبعاده من الإمارات، وكان ذلك نتيجة لسياسات حكومية كانت تستهدف مجموعة من المقيمين في تلك الفترة، وهو لم يكن قد ارتكب أي مخالفة في ذلك الوقت وكان يُعتبر ضحية للسياسات المتبعة.
أرغب في معرفة الإجراءات التي يجب أن أتبعها حالياً من أجل رفع هذا الإبعاد وتمكينه من العودة إلى الإمارات.
أرجو أن توضح لي كيف يمكنني مساعدته في هذا الموضوع.
شكراً جزيلاً.

How can I remove a travel ban or avoid arrest if I left the UAE with an unpaid rent case? 0
In 2018, I was involved in a dispute concerning unpaid rent related to a property managed by [-----] under the jurisdiction of the Land Department. [----] proceeded with legal action, resulting in a civil case and the imposition of a travel ban.
A civil case had been reported in an Arabic-language newspaper. Not being fluent in Arabic, I missed the Land Department hearing, and the obvious outcome included an order for payment and a travel ban, but I had already left the country by that time.
questions:
Statute of Limitations: After how many years does such a civil case expire under UAE law, thereby allowing me to legally return to Dubai without facing arrest or enforcement actions?
International Travel: Am I currently at risk of arrest or extradition if I travel to non-GCC countries like India or Pakistan?

What is the responsibility of the employee in case of leaving before the end of the notice period? 0
What is the responsibility of the employee?
The employment contract is set to conclude on 31st May 2025. The employee initiated discussions regarding a salary increment approximately 30 days prior, during which the management engaged in meetings with the employee but ultimately decided to maintain the current salary.
The employee subsequently chose not to renew or continue the employment, this decision having been finalized in a meeting held on 20th May 2025.
How does the notice period apply in this context?
Specifically:
1) Would the grace period (30 days after the contract/visa ends) be considered as fulfilling the notice period requirement?
2) Is the employee entitled to request a different salary during this grace or notice period?

Can my husband take our 2-year-old daughter abroad without my consent? 0
Hello,
My husband has been threatening that he will take my 2-year-old daughter to Pakistan and leave her there with his family.
He has said this several times and has confirmed to my dad that he will be taking my daughter in the coming few weeks. We are both on his sponsorship.
What are my rights in the UAE? Can my husband travel with a minor without the mother's consent? How can I stop him from taking my daughter to Pakistan? Do I have any legal standing if I am under his sponsorship?

Tenant demanding more than RDC verdict. Must I pay before the execution file is issued? 0
Good day,
I am a landlord, and my tenant filed a case with the RDC. The verdict was in his favor, and I am to pay the financial claim, which is the fees and expenses of the case.
The tenant asked for a specific amount, which is higher than the official receipt that the RDC provided. So, I have paid that exact amount directly to the tenant.
Naturally, the tenant asked for more. May I ask for guidance regarding the procedure?
It has not been 15 days since the verdict, so I have been told by the RDC that the case is not final, and I must wait for the execution file to determine the exact amount.
While I am happy to wait for that, my tenant has been threatening to open an execution file if I do not pay before the 15th day. She mentioned a travel ban as well. I feel lost and uncomfortable with the situation.
Please help me understand the procedure.
