Cheques are mainly used for the payment of goods or services especially when the amount is huge. Although cheque payments are generally more convenient and safer, one of its disadvantage is the possibility of getting bounced or rejected by the bank which happens for various reasons: mismatch of signatures on the cheque versus the bank record; damage, torn, tamper on the cheque; or insufficient funds.
In previous years, the UAE considers bounced cheque as a serious legal matter and a criminal offense. The consequences for a cheque bounce case in Dubai can range from settlement of fines, detention or possible civil cases for some – which more often than not, requires the expertise of a cheque bounce lawyer. From the last few years, the UAE has become more tolerant and more lenient to its rules, making several major adjustments to some laws. In January 2, 2022, the Federal Decree-Law No. 14 of 2020 presented a major amendment to Federal Law No. 18 of 1993 decriminalizing cheque bounce case across the UAE.This significant move is made with the goal of speeding up the procedures and improving the efficiency of the Court system by allowing them to be more focused on more serious offences.
Under the new version of the law, the only instance where cheque bounce is considered crime is when it involves fraud, such as intentionally deceiving the recipient by removing the funds from the account before the cheque is cashed. In this case, our team of cheque bounce lawyers can step in and represent the clientin front of the Jury or any other Authorities.
