Dear Customer,                                                        

Thanks for joining and trusting us, much appreciated!

We would like to inform you that if a bounced cheque complaint is filed against you, it is very likely that the victim will file a civil lawsuit called "personal right claim" and in order to avoid this, you shall reconcile with the person who filed the complaint.

Article 401 from the UAE Penal Code:

Detention or a fine shall be imposed upon anyone who, in bad faith, gives a draft (cheque) without a sufficient and drawable balance or who, after giving a cheque, withdraws all or part of the balance, making the balance insufficient for settlement of the cheque, or if he orders a drawee not to cash a cheque or makes or signs the cheque in a manner that prevents it from being cashed. The same penalty shall apply to any one who endorses a cheque in favor of another or gives him a bearer draft, knowing that there is no sufficient balance to honor the cheque or that it is not drawable.

The criminal case shall be dropped if the payment or waiver is made after the occurrence of the crime and before the dismissal by a final judgment, and if this happens after the process of judgment is ceased, the judgments shall not be executed.

If the court orders that the check book be withdrawn from the convicted person and not giving him new books, so article (643) of the Commercial Transactions Law, the Public Prosecution shall inform the Central Bank of this matter to all banks. In the case of any bank violating the said order, a fine of (100,000) one hundred thousand dirham is required.
