Dear Questioner,

The law requires reconciliation to be offered to the two disputing parties.

Therefore, the case was postponed for the possibility of settlement and reconciliation between the two parties, and this may be based on the request of one of the parties.

Dear Questioner,

Thank you for reaching out with your inquiry regarding the status of your civil case in the Dubai Court.

In legal terms, "Deferred for Settlement" means that the court has temporarily postponed proceedings to allow both parties involved an opportunity to explore and negotiate a settlement or resolution outside of the formal court process.

This often involves discussions, mediation, or negotiations facilitated by legal representatives.

This stage is an opportunity for an amicable resolution that can save time and resources compared to a prolonged court battle.

However, it's crucial to approach settlement discussions strategically to ensure your rights and interests are protected.

If you would like further assistance in understanding the specifics of your case or guidance on navigating the settlement process effectively, I would be more than happy to schedule a consultation.

Please feel free to reach out to me via WhatsApp or phone to discuss your situation further.
