Q: Hi.
I had a bounced cheque case with my ex-landlord which I recently settled.
He filed a case against me. My brother paid the amount and their Local UAE National will be doing some paperwork in ON TIME government service office. Then later, he was advised to go to Court to take the NOC and pay the fine.
Once the NOC is taken and fine paid, do we need to take this paper to the Police Station or Immigration to clear my name so they won't stop me at the Airport when I enter Dubai again, or it will be done automatically?
If it will be done automatically, then how much time it takes?

رفع دعوى مدنية بخصوص شيك مرتد ومن ثم التقدُّم ببلاغ لدى الشرطة

س: هل هناك مانع من رفع دعوى مدنية بخصوص شيك مرتد ومن ثم التقدُّم ببلاغ لدى الشرطة؟
أي هل سلوك الطريق المدني لا يُسقِط حقي في توقيع العقوبة على الشخص الذي وقَّع على الشيك؟
سبب السؤال أن الشركة التي أصدرت الشيك بدون رصيد صدر قرار من الدولة لوقف اتخاذ إجراءات جزائية ضدها مؤقتًا؛ لذلك أريد أن أسلك الطريق المدني ثم الجزائي لاحقًا.
