Here’s something that might surprise you: winning your case in the Dubai Courts is just the beginning of your journey. Based on recent court statistics, about 62% of people face challenges getting their money even after winning. On average, it takes 125 days to collect what’s rightfully yours. But don’t worry – we’re here to help you understand exactly what to do next.
Why Winning Doesn’t Always Mean Instant Payment
I remember sitting with a client last month, celebrating their court victory. Their smile faded when they realized winning didn’t mean the money would appear in their account the next day. “But I won,” they said. “Why isn’t that enough?”
At AK Advocates, we’ve guided hundreds of clients through this exact situation. Let me share what we’ve learned about turning that court victory into actual payment in your bank account.
Making Sure Your Court Victory Counts
Think of your court judgment like a golden ticket – but one that needs proper handling. Our legal team starts by checking three vital things:
- Is your judgment final? This means no more appeals are possible.
- Do you have certified copies? These are your proof of victory.
- Is it still valid? You have three years to collect your money.
A quick tip from our experience: act fast after winning. We’ve seen too many cases where waiting just a few weeks let debtors move their assets around.
Your First Steps to Getting Paid
Picture this: One of our clients won a case worth AED 2.5 million. Instead of waiting, we took action the very next day. Here’s what we did:
- Got certified copies from the Dubai Courts
- Sent official notice to the debtor
- Started the execution process
This quick action helped us recover the full amount in just 45 days. The legal system in the UAE gives debtors one last chance to pay voluntarily when they receive the notice. Sometimes, this alone makes them pay up.
Smart Ways to Collect Your Money
The UAE legal system offers several powerful tools to help you get paid:
Freezing Bank Accounts
This is often our most effective strategy. With court approval, we can freeze the debtor’s UAE bank accounts and transfer the money directly to you.
Travel Bans
For individual debtors, we can request a travel ban. You’d be amazed how quickly some people find the money when they can’t leave the country.
Salary Deductions
If the debtor has a job in the UAE, we can arrange for up to 30% of their monthly salary to be sent to you until the debt is paid.
When Things Get Tricky
Sometimes debtors try to play hide and seek with their assets. Here’s what happened in a recent case: a company tried to avoid payment by restructuring. We didn’t give up. Instead, we used UAE law to hold the shareholders personally responsible. Our client got every dirham they were owed.
Recent Changes That Help You
The Dubai Courts have gone digital with their new Smart Execution System. This has cut collection time by 40% – good news for everyone trying to collect their money. Plus, the UAE keeps signing agreements with other countries, making it easier to collect money even if the debtor has assets abroad.
