Q: Dear Sir,
I have a credit card cheque bounce case of AED 57,000. I've already paid the fine of AED 2020 in the police station but the bank is still calling me a for the payment of AED 57,000.
They told me they're filing a civil case against me. Please tell me about the further procedure if they file a civil case, and if there is any travel ban or any other fine on me.

Defaulting on credit card payment and subsequent civil case
123
Q: Dear Sir
I am a Dubai resident.
Last month, Mashreq filed a criminal case against me for credit card cheque bounce of AED 60000. I paid the fine and got released from the police station.
Now, they called me again and said they are going to file a civil case against me. If they file a civil case, will there be any immediate travel ban?
Also, advise if the police can arrest me on the basis of this civil case immediately.

Q: I had some credit card financial issue and I couldn't pay. The bank put a police case and I paid a fine and finished the case.
After some months with different collection people from the bank calling me and coming 2-3 times directly to my office, they told me they will file a civil case for the total dues of 30K.
What is the solution for finishing all this?

Filing a civil case by the bank after paying the fine

Q: I already had a police case from the bank and I paid the fine at the police station. My case was removed.
Now the bank is telling me they will file a civil case.
Does the bank usually file a civil case if the amount is 100,000?
If they will, is it the same process as the police case that just needs to pay the fine and the case is done?

رفع دعوى مدنية بخصوص شيك مرتد ومن ثم التقدُّم ببلاغ لدى الشرطة

س: هل هناك مانع من رفع دعوى مدنية بخصوص شيك مرتد ومن ثم التقدُّم ببلاغ لدى الشرطة؟
أي هل سلوك الطريق المدني لا يُسقِط حقي في توقيع العقوبة على الشخص الذي وقَّع على الشيك؟
سبب السؤال أن الشركة التي أصدرت الشيك بدون رصيد صدر قرار من الدولة لوقف اتخاذ إجراءات جزائية ضدها مؤقتًا؛ لذلك أريد أن أسلك الطريق المدني ثم الجزائي لاحقًا.

The management of individual financial affairs is crucial and all the actions must be weighed down while committing to any financial liability. Whether it's job loss that may have lead to financial failure or the opposite, one must be aware of the personal liability which will not diminish by paying fines for cheque bounce cases. There are two major types of liabilities, criminal liability and civil liability. Each has its own significance, hence, must be dealt with accordingly.

جريمة الشيك بدون رصيد ما بين الوضع الحالي والوضع المستجد 19
يلعب الشيك دوراً مهماً في الحياة اليومية سواء في ميدان المعاملات التجارية أو في ميدان المعلامات المدنية باعتباره أداة وفاء والتزام تحل محل النقود في التعامل بين الافراد. ونظراً لهذه الأهمية فقد أصبح أكثر الأوراق التجارية انتشاراً وتداولاً بين الناس، على الرغم من حداثته نوعاً ما. فالشيك لم يبق كما كان في بداية عهده أداة لسحب الودائع المصرفية لحساب الساحب ذاته، بل أصبح أداة وفاء تحل محل النقود سواء على النطاق الداخلي بالنسبة للمعاملات التي يقوم بها الأفراد داخل الدولة فحسب وزادت أهميته.

Filing a case against husband by a non-Muslim wife for adultery 0
I am a non-Muslim Indian woman. I discovered that my husband is having an affair with another woman. I know it is a criminal offense in the UAE and I want to know about the punishment for such an offense.
I would also like to know what kind of evidence is required to file a criminal case?
We both share the same laptop at home and the screen was not clear so I took a backup of the pictures where I have my marriage pictures and also my daughter's pictures. In that, I have found an adultery video of my husband with a woman, close pictures, and some messages.
Once I spoke to him about it, he broke the laptop but I have those pictures with me.
Please help me!

Ensuring that the employee will not approach the clients after leaving 0
I have a small company of 4 people. One of my oldest staff who has worked for 11 years is leaving. He handles 80% of my clients and work.
Without proof, I know he is going to open his firm. I don't want to harm him but I want to secure my clients. Is it legally okay for me to make him sign a contract that he cannot approach my clients in the near future?
If yes, then what will be the procedure?
Do I have to go to the notary to make this contract valid?
