For example, some individuals may encounter situations during their civil dealings where they end up lending money to others. When the time comes for the debtor to repay the debt, the creditor may find the debtor failing to fulfill their obligation. In such cases, the creditor has the right to file a lawsuit to claim their financial dues, seeking to recover their rights through the legal avenues outlined by Qatari law. By engaging a civil litigation lawyer, they ensure adherence to all civil claim procedures as defined by Qatari law.

Insurance, whether in the commercial, maritime, land, or health sectors, plays a crucial role due to the diverse needs it fulfills.

Rental disputes
The rental relationship is governed by special laws issued by the state to regulate the relationship between tenants and landlords within its borders. The lease contract is considered one of the most important legal contracts, as almost every citizen or resident in the Emirates is bound by a rental contract, whether it’s residential, investment, or commercial. The lease contract holds special significance for both the landlord and the tenant, as it involves the person’s residence, their family, or their business. Despite the importance and risks associated with the lease contract, many people do not pay enough attention to it. They often use ready-made lease contract templates that do not cover all legal issues, and they may be unaware of important rules in rental law.
The lease contract is one of the contracts that most frequently lead to disputes due to its specific legal regulations. It has its own procedures for filing a claim, handling it, appealing it, and even executing it. Therefore, many people fall victim to procedural errors in this law. Regardless of the complexities in the rental relationship, we have significant experience in dealing with rental disputes and specialized analyses in the application of rental laws.

Enforcement of judgments
Some believe that the hassle of litigation ends with obtaining a judgment in their favor in the lawsuit they filed, which compels their opponent to compensate them. In reality, the most decisive stage, and the one that separates you from obtaining compensation, is the stage of enforcing judgments. Judgments that have the force of res judicata, meaning judgments that cannot be appealed in any way through ordinary or extraordinary means, are the ones accepted for enforcement without others. After the judgment takes on the form of enforcement, which is a report issued by the court in the form of a seal on the judgment as proof of the fulfillment of all conditions and the enforceability of it, the second stage comes, which is the announcement of the judgment if the opponent is absent, followed by a legal deadline for the opponent to execute the judgment. Therefore, it is important to consider that the stage of enforcing judgments is one of the most important stages of litigation, and it is where all efforts made during the litigation culminate.
Therefore, Salah Al-Jalahma Law Firm is committed to providing a comprehensive range of services related to the enforcement of judgments concerning family, commercial, administrative, civil, international, foreign judgments, and others.
