As per Law no. 1 of 2017 called Criminal Order Law the cheque cases, if the amount is less than Dh200,000 it shall be punishable by fine. This fine varies between Dh2,000 and Dh10,000 depending on the cheque value. Such decisions could be given by the prosecution within a very short period time without any need to refer you to the criminal courts. This is only applied in the emirate of Dubai.
However, you have to bear in mind that the complainant still has the right to file a civil case against you to claim the cheque value and an interest of 12 per cent starting from the date the cheque was dishonoured. They could also ask the court to obligate you to pay the court charges and legal costs.
The complainant also has the right to ask the civil courts to cease your company bank account by up to Dh100,000 until the civil case is decided. They may also ask the civil courts to issue a travel ban order on an urgent basis against you until the court issues its final decision and until you pay back the money.
