Orders on Petitions: Swift Legal Remedies
Litigation in the UAE allows for prompt and immediate procedures called “Orders on Petitions,” issued by a judge in urgent matters to ensure rights are protected without the delay of traditional court proceedings.
Secure your rights in days, not months, with urgent judicial orders.
What Are Orders on Petitions and Why Are They Effective?
This powerful legal procedure allows a judge to issue a judgment within a few days, often without notifying the other party, to address urgent needs and protect fundamental rights. Our lawyers promptly submit these requests to realize our clients’ rights and take immediate measures, ensuring that final judgments can be executed without delay and with the full force of state machinery like the police.
Reclaim Your Passport
The Court can issue an Order on Petition to direct an employer, lender, or even a spouse to hand over a passport, regardless of the reason it is being held. This ensures the fundamental right to freedom of movement is protected. If the party refuses, the judgment can be enforced by the police.
Secure Assets with Precautionary Attachments
An Order on Petition can be used to seize funds in a debtor's bank account or place a precautionary attachment on their property and assets, including vehicles, real estate, ships, and goods. This critical step prevents the debtor from disposing of assets until a final judgment on the substantive claim is reached, securing your ability to collect what you are owed.
Impose a Travel Ban on Debtors
The Court can issue a travel ban via an Order on Petition, preventing a debtor from leaving the UAE. This is particularly effective for ensuring the presence of foreign nationals until a final judgment is issued, securing your ability to enforce the ruling and recover your dues.
Preserve Evidence with a Statement of Facts
A summary proceeding for a statement of facts can be requested to maintain the status quo of a dispute. The court assigns an expert to document the current state, ensuring the other party cannot alter the subject of the dispute. This is critical in cases related to contracting, services, or real estate where evidence could be tampered with.
