(MENAFN- Gulf Times) Question: My friend borrowed money from me for his personal use and agreed to return it after three weeks. Now when I request for the repayment he refuses to pay. I have a document signed by him and I filed a civil case against him using that document. I received the judgment in my favour. Now the case is in the execution court. Now I came to know that he got terminated from his job because of the case. In such a case, how can I impose a travel ban on him? Will it take much time? Please advise.

Answer: As per Article 405 of Civil and Commercial Procedure Law, a judgment creditor may move before the execution judge to order stop travel of the judgment debtor and the court may issue orders banning travel. An order for a travel prohibition shall be submitted with a petition along with its reasons. The court may issue such orders upon the petition by a creditor that the creditor fears the escape of the debtor. But, issuing an order for a travel prohibition shall not breach the power of an authority to terminate the residence permit of the non-Qatari debtor or order him to depart the country or deport from the country, if the public interest so requires (Article 407 of Civil and Commercial Procedure law).

Claiming paymentdues from liquidator
Q: Our company has filed a case against the main contractor for recovery of the due payment. The court awarded the verdict in our favour and an execution case is also filed. The main contracting company was under liquidation and we were expecting the fund through the liquidator. Now we came to know that the liquidation procedures are over and the company is officially deregistered. But still we did not receive any payment. Now we have planned to move against the liquidator for the payment. Is there any limitation period for claiming the money from liquidator as per Qatar law? Please guide.
