A judgement in your favor is only worth something if it
is enforced. The right execution strategy turns a court order into real recovery.
Enforcement of judgments in the UAE is the process by which a court judgement is executed
through the courts of execution including against income and assets. It applies to local and to
foreign judgments, when recognized. An experienced Judgement Enforcement Lawyer in Dubai helps
you to enforce a judgement in a timely and effective manner.
In the UAE, the enforcement of judgement is the stage of execution, that follows a court judgement,
and is used to compel, a non-complying party, to satisfy the judgement.
Enforcement is regulated by the Civil Procedure Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 42 of 2022), under
which the execution court can take measures against income, bank accounts and assets. Once
recognized, foreign judgments may also be enforced according to the applicable rules and any
applicable treaties.
Many judgments require active enforcement to become effective. "The real recovery in a paper
judgement is prompt execution and identification of the debtor's assets," said Dr. Hassan Elhais,
Senior Legal Consultant.
