Questions & Answers
Will someone with a deportation order be deported despite a pending jail sentence?
Hello,
Will someone with an existing deportation order be deported from the UAE even if they have another pending case for which a jail term has been sentenced?
Dear Sir/Madam,
Regarding your inquiry about deportation in the context of multiple legal issues, kindly note the following:
1. Execution of Sentences:
Generally, an individual with both a deportation order and a pending jail sentence will serve the custodial term before deportation is executed.
2. Judicial Discretion:
The court may consider the entirety of the individual's legal circumstances when determining the final disposition.
3. Alternative Sentencing:
In certain cases, deportation may be ordered as an alternative to imprisonment, contingent upon the nature of the offense.
4. Right to Appeal:
For judicial deportation orders, there is typically a 15-day window to file an appeal from the date of the decision.
Given the complexity of such cases, we strongly recommend seeking counsel from a qualified UAE legal professional for a comprehensive evaluation of the specific circumstances and potential courses of action.
Sincerely,
Abdul Wahied
Dear Questioner,
If a person has an existing deportation order but also has a pending case with a jail sentence, the deportation will usually be delayed until the individual serves the jail term and fulfills any legal obligations, such as fines.
After completing the sentence, the deportation order will typically be executed unless legally challenged or revoked.
If you need legal assistance in reviewing the case, appealing the sentence, or seeking alternatives to deportation, please contact us.
Under UAE law, if there is an existing deportation order against someone, it could lead to their deportation even if there is another pending case, as deportation orders are issued by the relevant authorities.
