What Is a Petition to Reconsider Case in Dubai

Legal Remedy for Exceptional Judicial Errors

A petition to reconsider a case is a judicial process that permits review of a judgment under specific grounds defined in Article 169 of the UAE Civil Procedure Code. These include fraud, forged documents, false testimony, discovery of decisive evidence, or judgments issued without proper representation.

The service is required by claimants or defendants who believe that such circumstances affected the judgment. It must be filed within 30 days from the date of a judgment in presence or from official notification in case of a judgment in absentia.

EGSH assists clients in preparing and submitting petitions in accordance with Dubai Courts requirements and the UAE Civil Procedure Code. If the case concerns rental disputes, the petition is filed through the Rental Disputes Centre (RDC) under Dubai Land Department (DLD) authority. In all other cases, reconsideration petitions are filed directly with the Dubai Courts.

Who is eligible to file a reconsideration petition with the Dubai Court?

A reconsideration petition may be filed by any claimant or defendant who believes that the judgment was affected by fraud, forged evidence, false testimony, lack of proper representation, or if new decisive documents become available after the judgment. EGSH advisors review each client’s case in advance, verify eligibility under Article 169 of the Civil Procedure Code, and guide applicants through the filing process to ensure compliance with Dubai Court requirements.

What is the legal timeframe for reconsideration in the UAE?

The petition must be filed within 30 days from the date of a judgment in person or from official notification in the case of a judgment in absentia. Failing to meet this deadline means the Dubai Courts will not consider the petition.

How does an appeal differ from a reconsideration petition in the UAE?

An appeal challenges the judgment on broader legal or factual grounds. A reconsideration petition, by contrast, is permitted only under exceptional circumstances defined by Article 169 of the Civil Procedure Code. It cannot replace an appeal but serves as a limited legal remedy in specific situations.

What are the official fees for a legal petition reconsideration in Dubai?

The fees include a petition deposit of AED 500, an advertisement fee of AED 100, a power of attorney registration fee of AED 25 (if applicable), a knowledge fee of AED 10, and an innovation fee of AED 10. Service partner fees of AED 130 plus VAT apply when filing through a Real Estate Services Trustee. EGSH provides a detailed breakdown of the applied fees before submission.

How long does it take for the Dubai courts to reconsider a case?

When applying through EGSH, an authorised Real Estate Services Trustee centre, registering the petition takes about 10 minutes. The Dubai Courts or The Rental Disputes Centre system typically reviews and completes reconsideration petitions within eight business days.

Is attendance required for in-person judgment reconsideration?

Once the petition is filed, the applicant or their representative (lawyer with valid POA) must attend the hearing via the remote litigation system. The court then reviews the case and issues a new judgment online.

Can a non-resident file a UAE court reconsideration request?

Both residents and non-residents may file, provided the judgment was issued in Dubai and the grounds fall under Article 169 of the Civil Procedure Code. Filing can be completed through a lawyer with a valid power of attorney. Remote filing may be permitted depending on court requirements. EGSH facilitates the process to ensure compliance without the need for unnecessary travel.

What happens if the petition to reconsider a case in Dubai is rejected?

If the court finds that the grounds for reconsideration are invalid or do not fall under Article 169, the petition will be dismissed. The original judgment remains in effect and is enforceable.

Can I withdraw my reconsideration petition after I have filed it with the Dubai Courts?

The petitioner may withdraw the reconsideration request before judgment is issued. However, government fees and deposits already paid are non-refundable.

Good morning, I needed to apply for the Golden Visa and went to this EGSH Emirates office. I was very impressed by their facilities and the peaceful atmosphere. We were fortunate to be assisted by María Claudia García, who provided exceptional service. She advised and helped us every step of the way, guiding us through the entire process until we obtained the Golden Visa. Honestly, people with this level of professionalism and personal touch make one feel more at ease and integrated into this country. Thank you!

For me, it was a 10/10 experience, the quickest and smoothest process someone could have in this journey. Strongly recommend them.
