check fraud civil case - dubai, uae

[eennaahh]

what could be the worst case scenario for someone facing civil case for check fraud in dubai worth 87k? Not with the bank but with another person. Would one still be ask to pay the debtor the amount he was asking or just the fine that the court would require. If the person has no means of paying would one go to jail forever? or until one has paid? or there is a maximum jail time for the amount stated?

Thanks in advance.

I wish to inform you that if there is a check fraud then one person can be held liable for criminal case and criminal charges can be brought against a person. If someone is given a jail sentence for Check Fraud, they are not released after serving out the sentence unless the original money owed has also been paid back. For recovery of money creditor has the right to bring civil action and court order for amount due may be taken. Once court order is granted then creditor may seek recovery through assets of debtor. If debtor does not have assets then creditor may not recover amount.

I further wish to inform you that the provisions of Article No. (401) of the Penal Code under Federal Law No. (3) 1987 will have jurisdiction in this matter.

So its like sending someone to jail "FOREVER" because one has no means of paying and does not even have assets.

Thank you

If you sign a cheque and it bounces due to insufficient funds in your bank account that becomes a criminal offence known as Check Fraud. Banks can, and do, call the police in that situation if the check was payable to them. Individuals who have cheques made out to them that bounce can also call the police to report the offender. If someone is given a jail sentence for Check Fraud, they are not released after serving out the sentence unless the original money owed has also been paid back. The criminal case shall terminate if payment was made or assignment was established after commitment of the offence and before a final judgment was passed in respect thereof, and if such occurred after the judgment became final, it would stop execution.

Hi, is this means that if there is a jail sentence given, but you pay up once you were picked up by authorities, than the criminal offence is terminated and you don't serve any jail time?

My opinion is no one can do anything with a single check. And one more thing , usually they are catching you from job sites. This is some kind collection agents. They are working as Commission basis. So they
will try to catch you in any way. So when you apply for a job do not mention your present Company name
in your CV. If they get the Company name . They will inform your company to take the money back.
Eventually company will terminate you. They are not going to get anything.
SO DO NOT MENTION YOUR PRESENT PLACE IN YOUR CV.
