The court clarified that Article No. 106/9 of the executive regulations of the Civil Procedure Law stipulates that wages and salaries may not be seized with the employer, even if transferred to a bank account, except in the amount of a quarter of the wage or the total salary.
The court addressed the bank against whom execution is requested to lift the seizure of more than a quarter, starting from the day of its execution.
The citizen had told Emirates Today that he had filed a complaint with the bank’s management, but the problem was not solved by the bank’s management, which prompted him to file a lawsuit before the courts through a mechanism (an order on petition), after he had exhausted all friendly means with the bank, according to what he said. .
The citizen stated, in his petition, that “the financial claim by the bank is due to a loan that he was obligated to, because he was a partner in a private company, and the bank remained for three years deducting a quarter of his salary, and when he asked the bank to transfer his account to another bank, the bank started in Deduction of his entire salary for debt service without taking into account its circumstances.
He added: “Because of the bank’s intransigence, since last August, I did not receive a single dirham of my salary, which exposed me and my family to many psychological and social problems, as I could not buy basic life necessities such as food and pay consumption bills, such as: electricity and water.”
