A straightforward cheque bounce execution case may be resolved in 2\u20134 months. A contested civil trial may take 12\u201324 months at first instance, with a further 6\u201312 months if appealed.

Commercial debts carry statutory interest at 9% per annum under UAE Commercial Law if no other rate is contractually agreed. Civil courts can also award interest at discretion. Contractual interest clauses are generally enforceable, subject to the court’s right to reduce excessive penalty clauses.\n <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n <button class=\"faq-q\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><br \/>\n What if the debtor has left the UAE?<br \/>\n <span class=\"arrow\">\u25bc<\/span><br \/>\n <\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"faq-a\">\n Creditors can still obtain judgment in absentia and enforce against any UAE-based assets.
