Q: Dear Sir, I have my friend in detention in Al Barsha police station for accidental death in a construction site. His team on site had employed fewer labours for work and one of those guys died in an accident. The police had detained my friend as he is the owner of the company. The police case report number is only available and they have not still transferred it to the public prosecution. Is it possible to get bail before the case being transferred?

Q: Good evening One of my friends hit accidentally a school child while reversing the taxi. He checked the child and she was perfectly free from injury. He did not go to the police as all the people surrounding him told him he can go. This man left there but the child's parents complained to the police and filed a case. Now this man is in police custody for 2 days. How can I help this man to get out of this problem?

Q: Hi, I want to know how does my friend get bail. He is in jail for the last 20 days and the police did not present him in front of the court. Only 1 hearing is done yet but my friend is innocent and my question is why the police did not present my friend in front of the court. I met him last Friday in jail and nobody told him about the hearing date and status of the case or how he gets bail.

Q: Dear Lawyers, My husband is under investigation, and I want to get him bailed out from detention. However, I am a visitor. Can I get him bail by providing my passport?

Q: Hi, I want to inquire about a police case. In October 2024, I was involved in a minor accident while reversing my car out of a parking space, during which I accidentally ran over a person's foot. The individual later withdrew the case at the police station, and the case report was subsequently forwarded to the Dubai Public Prosecution. It has been over two weeks since I last visited the Public Prosecution (I have visited three times), yet the case number has not been issued. Could you kindly advise on how long it typically takes for the court to issue a verdict in such cases so that my travel ban can be lifted? Your guidance and assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Personal injury involves an injury sustained physically, emotionally and mentally. The injured person is entitled to claim damages where he has suffered an injury due to the other person’s wrongdoing. The victim may file a case against the person, who is found guilty in a criminal case or his insurance company if the defaulter has secured himself by insurance. The UAE civil law allows filing a compensation claim for injury damages.

The increasing complexity of laws and the growing number of individuals who legitimately want access to justice have put pressure on justice systems around the world. The courts must adopt digital transformation in order to stay up. Millions of lives could be improved by digital justice, but only if the technology is quickly and thoroughly understood.

The law promulgates UAE Criminal Procedural Law (Penal Procedures Law) which governs criminal procedures in the UAE. This law applies to the procedures relating to offences whose punishments are not specified, dogma and punitive offences, and blood money, if they do not violate the Sharia rules.
