Cheque Bounce Lawyer Abu Dhabi – Settle Cases & Lift Travel Bans
Facing criminal or civil action for a bounced cheque in Abu Dhabi? We negotiate settlements, close cases, and remove travel bans under the new UAE law – often within days.
Federal Decree-Law No. 14 of 2020 – Bounced Cheque Rules
The UAE introduced major reforms to cheque law in 2022. Bounced cheques under AED 200,000 are no longer criminal – they become civil debt cases. However, criminal charges and travel bans still apply for larger amounts or when the cheque was issued as a guarantee. Our lawyers navigate both criminal and civil proceedings to resolve your case quickly.
Bounced cheques under AED 200,000 are decriminalised – only civil liability remains.
Cheques over AED 200,000 or used as a guarantee can still lead to criminal prosecution and imprisonment.
Both criminal and civil bounced cheque cases can result in a travel ban. The ban remains until settlement or court order.
Paying the cheque amount before the first court hearing can lead to case closure and immediate travel ban lifting.
Even for small amounts, a civil execution warrant can be issued – causing asset freeze and salary attachment.
Cheque cases in Abu Dhabi are handled by the Public Prosecution (criminal) or Execution Court (civil).
