What can I do after finishing all the execution steps and the company did not respond?
Q: I opened execution last week in the enforcement form which I signed and the same enforcement claimed to show in my online judicial account under my case number in the Abu Dhabi Judicial app. I believe that these are registered already to start enforcement after the timeframe finishes. Enforcement claims are as follows: 1. Seizing the trade license 2. Seizing accounts 3. Seizing cars Furthermore, I saw the notification from the court to the company that gave it 7 days to make the payment, but the 7 days were completed recently and the company has not paid yet. Kindly advise on any further steps from my side. Will the court start the enforcement measures from their side? When I opened execution, the above enforcement claim was included already. Waiting for your kind response, please.
