Can the hospital force me to pay more money for emergency claiming that treatment exceeds insurance limit?

My wife lost a divorce case for no harm and filed an appeal now. What can I do?
Q: My wife filed a divorce case due to harm. It was rejected as there was a reconciliation between us, and she took back the police complaint. That`s why the court rejected her case. Now she filed an appeal with the same allegation without any new incident or any new evidence. There is no police report or medical report in the appeal court. She made many wrong allegations, which I defended; however, tomorrow we have the judgment. If her appeal is accepted and the previous judgment is reversed, what are my options? Can I file an appeal in the appeal court, or do I have to go to a higher court, as the first judgment was in my favor? And if her appeal got rejected, what are the options she will have?

How to provide visa in a personal status case if there is execution process preventing it?
Q: Hello, I am seeking clarification on the execution process for a judgment issued by the Dubai Courts. The case (No. [---/---]) is for the execution of a personal status judgment for non-Muslims (No. [---/---]). The judgment includes both a monetary award and a separate, non-monetary order (to provide a visa). The execution for the monetary part is currently pending as the court`s system is waiting for an exact final amount to be calculated by the accounts department. I have been told that because the monetary amount is part of the same judgment, the non-monetary visa order cannot be pursued separately until the monetary calculation is complete. Is this correct? In the Dubai Courts, are the enforcement processes for monetary and non-monetary orders dependent on each other, or can they be pursued at the same time?

How can I lift the travel ban if I reached a settlement with the bank?
Q: This is regarding my upcoming online appointment with the honorable judge. It will be my second appointment, as the first did not take place due to a link error. The matter concerns lifting my travel ban. After making two years of consistent EMI payments, I approached the bank. The bank confirmed by email that they would support my request, but asked me to apply through the court. After more than a month of follow-up, the bank is now demanding a guarantor, which is not part of the settlement agreement. Under Provision Four, the travel ban could be lifted if I: 1. Maintained six consecutive months of regular account credits. 2. Paid six consecutive EMIs without delay. I have consistently paid for two years of payments. Despite the judge notifying the bank, no response has been received for over a month. I reapplied online, and another judge has now been assigned. Kindly advise what questions I should expect in the hearing from the honorable judge and what documents to prepare. Kindly assist.Aug 20, 2025
