Dear Inquirer,

Thank you for reaching out!

Exemption from the 5% court fees depends on specific legal grounds, such as financial hardship or qualifying case types.

To apply, you typically need to submit a request with supporting documents to the court handling your case.

For personalized guidance and assistance in filing your exemption request, we invite you to book a consultation through our website or contact us directly. Our legal team is ready to assist you.

Best regards,

You should submit this request to the Judicial Committee through the court's electronic system.

Do you have a link for that?

17 Mar 2025, 16:46

Unfortunately No, but you should also attach your bank account details and the court acceptance of your claim.

If you wish, we would be honored to represent you as a local firm, initiating the procedures and handling the legal process until a judgment is issued.

So, you would handle my case and accept payment at the end?

What are your requirements? As a plaintiff, how much are you claiming from the defendant?

17 Mar 2025, 17:32

Right now, it's at 128K, but if they don't pay me by my last day this Friday, it will be between 140K and 150K.

17 Mar 2025, 17:48

Ok, then our office fee would be 20% of the claim, which you can pay later after winning the case, upon receiving the claim in your account.

17 Mar 2025, 17:49

If you agree, you can contact me directly at my number [-------------].

Is it best to wait for the employer's settlement this Friday before proceeding?

17 Mar 2025, 18:09

I urgently need to start my new employment and cancel my work visa. If my employer is uncooperative, are there ways to expedite the visa cancellation?

Would you like to have a free consultation at our office in Business Bay?

17 Mar 2025, 18:25

Ok, sure. What is the latest time I can come tomorrow?

17 Mar 2025, 18:34

I prefer between 3:00 and 4:00 PM. Is that suitable for you as well?

17 Mar 2025, 19:41

OK.

Submit a request to the head of the court to postpone payment of fees, but it is usually rejected.

Exemptions are typically granted to certain categories of individuals and entities, as well as for specific types of cases.

The Committee for Deferral and Exemption from the Payment of Judicial Fees is where you should apply for a court fee exemption. You need to submit your request there.

Dear questioner,

Exemption from court fees is not applicable in every jurisdiction. However, you can check for free legal aid programs offered by the Ministry.

If you need further clarification, kindly share your WhatsApp number.

Dear, if you have strong reasons to prove your financial inability, you can submit a request to the court for exemption or deferral of case fees.

You must attach your bank statement. The court will review your request and either accept or reject it.
