Q: We are a Dubai-based company and had business relationship with another Dubai registered company whose owner is Lebanese.
The company owes us close to AED 1.8 million as their cheques were dishonoured.
We have filed a case against the company with Dubai Police, but the owner has since returned to Lebanon.
Although we have contact with him he is not committing as to when he will pay us.

Q: I had some credit card loans unsettled when I left the UAE 7 years ago, but promptly, I was paying instalments when I was there.
Now if the UAE bank brings the civil case verdict to India (now the verdict can be executed in India), can I go for appeal in the higher courts of India against this verdict which was issued in the UAE, because this verdict had been given in my absence?
So I need a fair trial again in India in the high court. Is it possible?

1
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
A person came to buy my car. I gave him the car for a test drive, but he did not return it. The documents he gave me were for his cousin, who is in Pakistan.
I have only documents as evidence, so I reported him to the court. The court sentenced him to three months in prison, but my car has not been recovered.
I only have the mobile number of the person who took my car, and it is active.
What should I do to get my car back soon?
