Obtaining a judgment is only half the battle — enforcing it is where the real challenge lies. The debtor who fought you in court rarely pays voluntarily afterwards; payment comes when the execution court’s powers make refusing more painful than paying. We run execution proceedings with exactly that objective: converting your court order into money.
Under the Civil Procedure Law, the execution judge can order the attachment of bank accounts, the seizure and judicial sale of movable and immovable property, the attachment of shares, vehicles and receivables, garnishment of sums owed to the debtor by third parties, and coercive measures against judgment debtors who conceal assets or defy orders. Sequencing matters: the fastest route to payment is usually attaching what is liquid before the debtor reorganises their affairs.
We open the execution file, identify and target the debtor’s attachable assets, deploy the attachment and seizure measures in the order most likely to produce payment, counter the debtor’s objections and instalment applications, and keep pressing the file — because execution rewards persistence above all. Where assets have been hidden or moved, we combine this work with asset-tracing measures so enforcement has a real target.
This page is about collecting money through the execution court — debts and money judgments. Our Enforcement of Civil Judgments service is broader: giving effect to any judgment or order, including non-monetary relief (eviction, delivery, specific performance) and foreign judgments recognised in the UAE. If your goal is payment of a sum, start here; if it is enforcement of a decision of any kind, start there.
