How to enforce a judgment agaisnt a debtor who fled the country to get the outstanding payment?
Reference to the defendant's non-payment of execution writ. Seven years ago I won a case and the court obliged the defendant to pay.
At the time, the court failed to approve the arrest warrant and the defendant ran away. Now, all the necessary requests are approved in the system but the court is unable to find the defendant.
What are my rights in this situation to get the outstanding payment either from the defendant or his family and friends?
Greetings.
There is more than one option. If the amount is large, the judgment can be executed in its original country as a foreign judgment after it is authenticated by the Emirates.
If the debtor has apparent money in the country, it can be executed on it, such as cars and real estate.
