Can a plaintiff request interest for the period of the court case?

Dear Sir/Madam,

Can a plaintiff request interest for the period of the court case to be paid on top of the claim amount by the defendant?

For example, if the claim amount is AED 100,000 and the court case lasts six months, may the losing party be ordered to pay interest for six months on AED 100,000 in addition to the claim amount?

Dear,

Hope you are doing well!

Kindly note that you can demand 5% interest as a maximum, and mostly it will be calculated from the date of filing the claim at the court until the full payment.

If you have any other queries, you can reach us through email or phone.

Best Regards,

Dear Questioner,

You can ask for interest up to the dates before the court proceedings start, and you can also request reimbursement for expenses incurred in filing the case, but not for expenses incurred up to the court proceedings end.
