Can I reopen a rental case against my tenant after the appeal judgment if it was not in my favor?

Hello

I currently have an ongoing case for the non-payment of rent against my tenant. The initial judgment was in my favor but the tenant appealed the decision.

However, the tenant uploaded the documents after the session had begun and I was not able to view the documents.

The judgment is now postponed but there are fallacies in the documents uploaded by the tenant that I would like to submit in my memorandum to the RDC.

I would like to know if there is any way to contact the RDC to upload my memorandum as it is crucial to the case.

Secondly, in case the judgment is unfavorable, is there any way to reopen the case after the appeal judgment?

Thanks

Dear Questioner,

Good evening.

Since your tenant uploaded documents after the session began and you were unable to review them, you have the right to address these issues in your memorandum.

You can submit your memorandum to the Rental Dispute Center (RDC) through the electronic case system or by visiting the RDC in person to request permission to upload your response before the next hearing.

It is advisable to submit your memorandum as soon as possible and ensure you receive an official acknowledgment of submission.

If the judgment is unfavorable, reopening the case depends on the circumstances. Generally, after an appeal judgment, the case is final unless new evidence arises that was not previously considered and is substantial to the outcome, procedural errors or violations occurred during the appeal process, or a request for cassation (final review) is applicable in limited cases, depending on the amount involved and legal grounds.

We can assist you in drafting and submitting the memorandum effectively and exploring legal options if the case does not conclude in your favor. Contact us for immediate assistance.

Yes. you can submit your memorandum to the RDC. The RDC website may have information on how to submit documents or communicate with the center.

Generally, cases can only be reopened under specific circumstances, such as the discovery of new evidence that was not available during the original trial or appeal, or if there was fraud or misconduct that affected the outcome of the case.

If you need further clarification kindly share your WhatsApp number.

Dear Inquirer,

Since your case is currently under appeal, you may still have the opportunity to submit your memorandum addressing the fallacies in the tenant’s documents.

You can contact the Rental Dispute Center (RDC) through their official channels to inquire about the submission process. Given the procedural sensitivity, timely legal action is crucial.

If the judgment is unfavorable, reopening the case after the appeal depends on specific legal grounds, such as new evidence or procedural violations. A detailed legal review is necessary to assess your options.

To ensure the best course of action, book a consultation with Future Vision for Advocacy and Legal Consultancy today for expert legal guidance.

Thank you for reaching out with your concerns regarding the ongoing case against your tenant.

Regarding the issue of uploading your memorandum, I understand the importance of submitting crucial information to support your case.

In situations where documents are not accessible at the right time, such as the ones uploaded by the tenant after the session began, it is possible to contact the RDC (Real Estate Dispute Center) directly.

I can assist you in drafting and submitting the necessary memorandum that addresses the fallacies in the documents uploaded by the tenant.

We can also request the court to ensure that all relevant materials are considered in your case.

As for the possibility of reopening the case after an unfavorable judgment, it is indeed possible under certain circumstances, especially if there has been a procedural error or important information was not considered.

We would need to file a formal request, explaining the grounds for reopening the case, and the court will decide based on the specific facts of your matter.

I recommend we schedule a meeting or a call to discuss your case in more detail and determine the best course of action.

Feel free to reach out to me directly on WhatsApp or via email. I look forward to assisting you with this matter and ensuring that your case is handled effectively.

Best regards,

Suhail Rana

Dear Esteemed Client,

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.

We understand the importance of your ongoing case and the need for timely submission of crucial information. Based on your inquiry, please consider the following professional advice:

1. Submitting Your Memorandum to the RDC:

We recommend the following options for submitting your memorandum:

a) Via the Dubai Land Department (DLD) Website:

- Access your RDC account

- Select the appropriate service

- Upload your memorandum and supporting documents

b) In-Person Submission:

- Visit a Real Estate Services Trustees service center

- Submit your memorandum and supporting documents to staff for verification and system entry

Given the time-sensitive nature of your case, we advise prompt action to ensure your memorandum is considered before the next hearing.

2. Reopening the Case Post-Appeal:

In the event of an unfavorable appeal judgment, please note:

- Reopening a final appeal determination requires permission from the Court that issued the decision.

- This is granted only in exceptional circumstances to prevent a significant injustice.

- Grounds for reopening are typically limited to compelling new evidence or clear errors in the previous judgment.

Given the complexities involved, we strongly recommend seeking specialized legal counsel to navigate these procedures effectively and present the most robust case possible.

Should you require further assistance or clarification, please do not hesitate to contact us. We remain committed to supporting you through this legal process.

Respectfully,

Abdul Wahied
