How can I file for private insolvency in Abu Dhabi?

You will need to provide:

Hello,
You will need to file your application to the court. The application can be submitted to the Abu Dhabi Commercial Court, which handles such cases.
The application should include your financial details, information on your debts, evidence of your inability to pay (such as income statements, bills, etc.), and evidence of attempts to settle with creditors.
The court will review your application, and you may need to provide further details or documents supporting your insolvency claim.
A temporary moratorium on creditor actions may be granted while the court is considering your case. This prevents creditors from taking actions like filing lawsuits or freezing your assets while you work on a solution.
If your restructuring proposal is accepted by both the creditors and the court, the court will approve the plan.
Once approved, you will be bound to follow the terms of the plan. If the creditors do not agree to the restructuring plan, the court may proceed with a personal bankruptcy declaration, and your assets may be liquidated to repay your debts.
