BaghdadiLaw’s experience in cheque execution in the UAE
BaghdadiLaw brings nearly seven decades of legal practice, since its founding in 1957, to cheque enforcement, with a firm grasp of the instrument’s suitability for execution, proof of the outstanding balance, responses to objections and recovery proceedings. A UAE cheque creditor needs to check whether the bank certification supports direct execution under the applicable rule. The execution amount must also reflect partial payments and the correct parties; possession of the cheque alone does not resolve those questions.
Article 667 of UAE Commercial Transactions Law 50/2022 provides an execution basis for the specified bank-certified unpaid cheque. Review the return reason, holder, amount and Civil Procedure requirements before starting execution; the route is not a prediction of asset recovery. Confirm that the cheque, bank information and named parties match the proposed application. Reconcile partial payments and identify any existing case involving the same obligation.
We agree the work your matter needs: Prepare execution where the statutory cheque basis and balance are established. Resolve genuine payment or holder discrepancies before overstating the claim; if a repayment arrangement is accepted, document its effect on the pending execution and any security. The deliverable is agreed for your file: An execution-readiness review of the cheque, bank statement of refusal and payment reconciliation, highlighting missing documents and disputed liabilities.

Before requesting advice on cheque execution in the UAE
Does an unpaid cheque always follow the same execution route?+
No. Check the jurisdiction, cheque particulars, bank response, payments and any existing proceedings. The instrument’s status and the reason it was unpaid help determine what evidence and procedural review are needed.
Can execution seek the face value after partial payment?+
The balance must account for payments received against the same obligation. Record the payment date, amount and allocation; where allocation is contested, explain that issue instead of requesting the face value without disclosure.
What information helps practical recovery?+
Lawfully obtained debtor identifiers and asset information, separate from proof that the cheque is executable.
