Payment order and urgent debt recovery in the UAE

How we help with payment order and urgent debt recovery

• Evidence and document review

  Our review covers written debt instrument, due-date evidence, amount reconciliation, prior demand and debtor responses. We identify what supports your position and what needs clarification or further evidence.

• Does any overdue UAE invoice qualify for a payment order?

  Article 143 requires written evidence, including electronic writing, of a due right for a specified money amount or sufficiently identified movable property. Article 144 requires a prior demand allowing at least five days, served through an authorised method, with evidence attached to the application. Urgency alone is insufficient. Check jurisdiction, the debt documents and whether a cheque already has execution status before choosing this route. Identify the written debt evidence, due date, fixed amount and any dispute or prior demand. Check the specific procedure before choosing it. A need for quick recovery does not by itself establish eligibility for a payment order or an urgent protective measure.
