Recent amendments to the UAE Civil Procedure Code (CPC) are
aimed at modernising and enhancing the litigation process in the
UAE Courts. This includes simplifying and expediting the process
for a creditor to obtain an enforceable judgment on admitted debt
claims as a "Payment Order". Clyde & Co reports here
on this welcome development and a very recent success with such a
claim under the new regime.
On 9 December 2018, the UAE Cabinet issued Resolution No. 57 of
2018 concerning the Executive Regulation of the Civil Procedure Law
No. 11 of 1992 (Executive Regulation), which came
into force on 16 February 2019. The Executive Regulation, among
other things, broadened the scope of expedited Payment Order claims
in relation to admitted debts.
