Frequently asked questions

What are the legal penalties for fraud and deceit in the UAE?

They vary by characterisation, the applicable penal provision, the scale of harm and the circumstances, and may include imprisonment and fines with a parallel civil claim for compensation and recovery. After assessing the facts we outline the likely penal frame without guaranteeing a specific outcome.

How is breach of trust proved before the court?

Usually by proving delivery of money or property in trust, then dealing with it contrary to the agreement or law with intent to harm or take unlawful benefit, through contracts, receipts, transfers and testimony. We build the evidence file according to the client’s position (victim or accused) without assuming one characterisation for every fact pattern.

Can a judgment in a fraud or deceit case be appealed?

Yes, within the statutory time limits and grounds for appeal or cassation depending on the level of judgment. We assess appeal grounds and enforcement impact before proceeding with an appeal or seeking a stay when required.

How long do criminal fraud cases usually take?

There is no fixed duration; it depends on evidence complexity, the number of parties, the prosecution investigation path, and the level of litigation. Files with multiple transfers or cross-border parties may take longer. We set realistic timing expectations after reviewing the file without promising a specific judgment date.
