Bounced Cheque (AED 20k) - Debtor fined AED 5k by Dubai public prosecution how do I file a Civil Execution Case step by step without a lawyer?

Hi everyone,I need some practical, step-by-step guidance on recovering my money from someone who gave me a bounced cheque. I do not have the budget to hire a lawyer, so I need to handle the civil court process entirely by myself to keep costs down.Here is my exact timeline and case status:Cheque Date: August 2025 (Amount: AED 20,000).Police Complaint: September 2025 (I went to the police right away and got the bank return memo).DPP Transfer: January 2026 (The case was transferred to the Dubai Public Prosecution).Hearings: 1st hearing was June 10th, 2026. 2nd hearing was yesterday. The debtor failed to show up to both.Current Criminal Status: Yesterday, the judge wrapped up the criminal case and fined the debtor AED 5,000.

Since that AED 5,000 fine goes straight to the government and not to me, I need to open a Civil Execution Case immediately to recover my AED 20,000. I have a few specific questions for anyone who has navigated Dubai Courts or Al Adheed by themselves:

Bank Memo Expiry: Since my bank return memo was issued back in September 2025, is it considered expired by the civil court? Or does the fact that I have a fresh criminal judgment from yesterday protect my timeline? Do I need to get a new memo from the bank, or will Al Adheed accept the September 2025 one along with the DPP certificate?

Filing via App vs. Al Adheed: I know the official court fee is 6% (AED 1,200 for my amount). If I use the Dubai Courts Smart App to save money on typing fees, what is the exact name of the service I select? If I go to Al Adheed instead, how much extra do they charge for typing?

Claiming Back Legal Fees & Compensation: When filling out the execution form, how do I make sure the judge adds my AED 1,200 court fee to the debtor's file so he is forced to reimburse me? Also, can I legally claim an additional 10% on top of the AED 20k as compensation/interest for the delayed payment since I've been waiting almost a year for my money?

Enforcement Steps (Travel Ban & Asset Freeze): Once the court gives him the 15-day notice to pay and he ignores it, what is the exact process to trigger a travel ban and freeze his bank accounts? Do I have to pay an extra fee for each separate request?

If you have successfully gone through this exact process by yourself without a lawyer, please share your tips, timelines, or anything I should watch out for.Thank you so much!

Dog eye: Central dense white opacity, wirh vision loss..

Age: 8 years old , Shihtzu

Sex: Male

Breed: shihtzu

Body weight: 6 Kgs

History: eye cloudiness

Clinical signs: There is a distinct, jagged/dense white structure right in the center of the lens. Tested menace response he does not flinch or blink, indicating acute vision loss in this left eye. Right eye is completely clear and normal.

Based on these clinical features and the timeline from yesterday to today, does this look more consistent with a primary mature cataract that has triggered secondary lens-induced uveitis/glaucoma, or could this be an acute primary glaucoma event causing corneal changes? I am trying to better understand the underlying mechanics of these two concurrent presentations before our veterinary assessment.

What does this look like? Also looking for approx surgery/treatment costs in Dubai/Sharjah

Hi everyone. My dog has recently developed this distinct change in his left eye. There is a solid white clouding right in the center, surrounded by a bluish-gray haze and severe deep redness around the edges of the eye. He currently has vision loss in this eye (he does not flinch or blink when an object comes close to it).

Before I go into a clinic, I want to understand what this might be based on your experiences and get a realistic idea of the budget.

Has anyone's pet had an eye that looked exactly like this? Was it diagnosed as a cataract, glaucoma, or a combination?

What are the approximate costs you’ve paid in the UAE for eye diagnostics (scans, ultrasounds, pressure tests)?

If your pet needed surgery, either advanced cataract removal or an eye removal procedure (enucleation) what did your clinic charge for the operation and aftercare?

I live in Dubai but I am 100% open to driving to Sharjah, Ajman, or other emirates if there are trusted, highly recommended vets that handle these surgeries at a lower cost. Thank you so much for any advice or pricing benchmarks you can share.
