If you are not content with a judgment rendered by a court, you generally have the right to file an appeal. Process for filing an appeal against a judgment in the UAE:

• You must file the appeal within the specified time limit, which is typically 30 days from the date of the judgment (in criminal cases, the appeal period is 15 days). It’s important to adhere to this deadline, as failure to do so may result in your appeal being dismissed.
• Determine the appropriate appellate court based on the nature and value of the case.
• Identify the grounds on which you are appealing the judgment. These grounds could include errors in the application or interpretation of the law, procedural irregularities, or the failure to consider certain evidence.
• Prepare an appeal memorandum that outlines the grounds for your appeal and the arguments supporting your case. This document should be comprehensive and include references to relevant laws, legal principles, and evidence.
• Consider engaging the services of a lawyer experienced in appellate matters. They can assist you in preparing the appeal memorandum, navigating the legal procedures, and presenting your case effectively.
• File the appeal memorandum with the appellate court within the designated time frame. Pay any required filing fees or deposits as per the court’s regulations.
• The appellate court will review the appeal memorandum, the lower court’s judgment, and any supporting documentation. The court may also conduct hearings to listen to oral arguments from both parties if necessary.

The appellate court will issue its decision, either affirming, modifying, or overturning the lower court’s judgment. The decision is typically final, although there may be limited avenues for further appeal in exceptional cases.
