Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in United Arab Emirates
My father passed away in 2008, and at the time bills were settled - now 4 years later I have a solicitor telling me I have to pay a bar bill for over 1,000 euro - I didnt sign for it or was not aware of it and the invoices are dated 2012? What should I do?

It is important that you provide complete details to understand the precise nature of transaction. Generally speaking, the UAE Commercial Transactions Law (article 95) provides that claims between traders and relating to their commercial transactions, a debt can continue to run for a term of ten years. After ten years, the debt is barred by statute of limitation. It is important that you get the documents reviewed to understand the clear legal implications.
