Charged in a fight case marked as a "temporary matter." What does it mean?
Hello,
I have a criminal case for fighting, and it is now in prosecution. The decision shows “a temporary matter” as both parties are accused. What does it mean?
I have not received a call from the prosecution yet.
Dear Client,
When the prosecution’s decision in your fighting case states “a temporary matter” and both parties are accused, it typically means the case is still under investigation or review, and no final decision has been made yet. This status is often used when:
- The prosecutor is still gathering evidence or considering statements from both sides.
- Both parties are considered suspects, not just one.
- The prosecution has not yet decided whether to proceed to trial, dismiss the case, or propose another resolution (such as reconciliation or penal order for minor offenses).
You have not received a call from the prosecution yet, likely because the investigation is ongoing, or the prosecution is scheduling interviews or awaiting additional information.
In the UAE, after a criminal complaint is filed and referred to prosecution, the process can involve several stages, including further investigation, possible detention or bail, and formal questioning of the accused.
The prosecution may summon you for questioning or to provide your statement before any formal charges are filed or the case moves forward.
Key Points:
- “Temporary matter” is an interim status, not a final judgment.
- Both parties being accused means the prosecution is treating both sides as potentially liable for the incident.
- You should remain available and monitor communications from the prosecution or police.
- If you are summoned, you must attend in person and may wish to consult a lawyer before giving any statement.
If you have not yet been contacted, it is advisable to proactively check with the prosecution office or consult a legal professional to monitor the status of your case and ensure you are prepared for the next steps.

Dear Inquirer,
The term "temporary matter" in your case typically refers to a preliminary stage in the prosecution process. It suggests that the case is still under investigation, and the authorities are determining whether to proceed with formal charges or further legal action.
It's not uncommon for individuals not to receive an immediate call from the prosecution, as the process can take time.
Given the seriousness of the matter, we recommend seeking legal assistance to ensure that your rights are protected and to guide you through the next steps.

Hello,
According to UAE law, if the case is currently with the Public Prosecution and marked as a "temporary matter," it generally means the investigation is still ongoing and the prosecution may be waiting for further evidence or statements.
Since both parties are accused, the responsibility may be shared or still under review.
Our center specializes in such cases, and you can contact us via WhatsApp for more details and proper legal support.
