New Debt Law in Dubai
January 22, 2024
- If a person can prove in DUBAI COURTS during the civil cases that he can’t pay then normally person will avoid the arrest orders or warrant. In several cases now in UAE, the arrest Warrant issuance has been finished, except in special circumstances or special matters where judges are provided power to take special actions.
- Normally, and generally the arrest warrant has been removed. However, in Civil Court Cases, if the creditor can show to court that debtor has enough money, sufficient reserves to pay then arrest warrant can be issued.
- Court stops making creditors submitting the unacceptable claims and also direct debtors to pay the money they owe to creditors. It is all directed and implemented through Article 319. Court might accept the claim of insolvency by the debtor but if it is not proved false by the creditor.

Conditions Not Accepted
- We would also like to mention that there are few conditions where, such claims by the debtors will not be accepted. Therefore, the imprisonment order can also be issued. Consult the top attorneys in UAE by a top Law Firm, for the details with practical case illustrations. For example, if it is found that debtor planned to cheat creditor. If it is found it was all intentional and drama was set to loot the creditor.
- If the debtor is found habitual of such crimes. If debtor is found smuggler, or fraud then he can not avoid imprisonment. But it is also directed to DUBAI COURTS, that the investigation should be conducted properly. In case of Installments plan granted, if debtor is failed to pay then judge can also decide imprisonment.
Ending Note
- New Law provides chance to debtors not to be getting arrest warrant in Civil Cases. Creditors also need to prove that debtors are in to the financial position to pay. Creditors can also submit the proof to court that debtor is habitual of committing such frauds
