HOWTO CLEARYOUR DEBTS UNDER
THE UAE’S NEW INSOLVENCY LAW
https://hhslawyers.com/blog/clear-debts-uaes-new-insolvency-law/
Int.
• Insolvency comes about when a person (who is not qualified as aTrader) is no
longer able to pay his debts due to debt defaults or bankruptcy.This is often
referred to as the “Insolvency of the natural person.”
Settling one’s debt.
• Under the Insolvency Law, the Debtor needs to attend court. Here, he places a
request with the court to be allowed to settle his financial obligations with his
creditors amicably and with no litigation proceedings. If the court finds the debtor
to be insolvent (which would comply with the new law) the application is legible
for approval.
Documents needed to proceed with a
financial settlement request.
• A statement with the details of the current (and expected) creditors of the debtor.
Usually, the names and addresses of the creditors along with the amount of each
debt will suffice.
• A memorandum that will give a good overview of the debtor’s current financial
position. In the document, it must highlight things such as:
• The debtor’s sources of income both locally and abroad
• The liquidity projections of the debtor within 12 months of the application being
made
• The debtor`s professional status at the time of the application.
Documents needed to proceed with a
financial settlement request.
• A concise statement listing all the debtor’s movable and immovable assets and their approximate value at
the time of the application.
• A statement highlighting any legal, judicial proceedings or actions that may have been taken against the
debtor.
• A statement from the debtor acknowledging that he is in a financial dilemma. Additionally, he must also
state that he was not able to pay his current (and possibly future) financial obligations.
• An outline of the money needed by the debtor for this day-to-day expenses such as the upkeep of his
family.
• The proposal from the debtor showing how he intends to clear his debts.
• Providing a statement showing all external financial transfers sent outside the country within the last 12
months.
• At this point, the court can appoint an expert who will oversee the proceedings of the financial obligation
settlement.The expert will make sure that all remains within the boundaries of the Law.
Failure to produce the required
documents.
• If the debtor cannot provide the above documents he has to state reasons why he has not
been able to do so. If these reasons are good enough the court may award the Debtor
more time to gather more information.
• Once enough documents have been submitted the court will take no longer than five
working days to make its decision.
• Can the court reject the request for a settlement of financial obligations?
• The court can refuse to request from the debtor in cases where
• The debtor falsifies information
• The court feels the debtor is hiding data that may incriminate him in some way.
The job of the appointed Expert
• The court-appointed expert will work with the debtor to create a feasible payment
plan. Copies of the plan will be sent to all of the creditors and finally to the court
within 22 working days from the day the expert-created the plan. Extensions to
this time can be awarded by the court when deemed necessary.
• Within 10 working days of sending the plans to the creditors, the expert will set up
meetings between the Debtor and each of these creditors.The time and place for
these meetings will be set by experts with the aim being to discuss and agree on
acceptable plans.
Can revisions be made to the final
settlement plan?
• Once all the creditors have agreed on their respective plans it is still possible for
amends to be made if the expert presents these amendments to the court. If the
court agrees to all or part of the changes it will notify all creditors of the approved
changes.
Closing insolvency and liquidation
proceedings.
• When the debtor pays all the outstanding payments to his creditors as agreed in
the plan the court shall issue a statement signaling the closing of all liquidation
procedures.This document will be the names of all the creditors along with the
amounts paid.The statement will also be published in two local daily newspapers
with one version in English and the other in Arabic.
Consequences of doing a settlement.
• The debtor cannot obtain any form of a loan or financial assistance for a period of
3 years from declaring insolvency.
• The debtor`s name will go onto a Special Register stating that the debtor was
sentenced to insolvency.
• The debtor is prohibited from entering into financial ventures paid or otherwise
unless it is something that is supporting their dependents.This will last for a period
of three years from the date insolvency was issued and their assets liquidated.
