How to appeal a civil case judgment if it was based on a forged document?

We are pleased to respond to your consultation.

I understand your frustration after losing your civil case against the fraudulent immigration adviser. I'll try to help you understand your options in terms of appeal.

Can you appeal?

The possibility of appeal depends on several factors, including:

Type of court that rendered judgment: Judgements of first instance may be appealed to the Court of Appeal.

Value of the claim: There must be a minimum amount of the claim to be subject to appeal.

Reason for appeal: You must have a strong legal reason to appeal, such as an error of law or procedure.

In your case:

Court type: I don't know what kind of court delivered the judgment, so I can't be sure that it can be appealed.

Litigation Value: You stated that you paid AED 24,600, which is above the minimum value for appealing a civil case in Dubai.

Reason for appeal: You have a strong legal reason to appeal, which is that the judgment was rendered on the basis of a forged document.

Dear M.,

Thanks for your inquiry.

Regarding the above, we would like to inform you that, according to UAE law, a final judgment cannot be appealed.

However, you may be able to file a cassation appeal to the Court of Cassation, which is the highest court in the UAE.

This type of appeal can only be filed on specific grounds, such as a violation of the law or a procedural error.

You will need to consult with us to determine if you have grounds for a cassation appeal in your case.

Additionally, you may also consider filing a complaint with the relevant authorities, such as the Dubai Police or the Dubai Public Prosecution, for the fraud committed by the immigration consultant.

They may be able to investigate and take legal action against the consultant.

It is important to note that the legal process in the UAE can be complex and it is recommended to seek advice from us. We will be able to guide you on the best course of action to take in your specific case.

Kindly feel free to contact us by email.

Greetings,

You can register for re-opening the case to review it again and prove the fake document or request to send the fake document to the criminal laboratory to confirm it's a fake document.

It is not enough to tell the court that the document is forged; you must request the court to send the document to the forensic laboratory for examination.

The judge does not direct the opponents and does not ask them to say what they are supposed to say.
