Re: Dubai Debt Enforced in UK Court?
I would suggest writing t CWD asking for their basis of the claim and making a request for disclosure for a copy of the certified judgment that was made in UAE as proof that they are entitled to enforce.
Alternatively, they may be making a claim which is not based on a foreign judgment but as normal claim.
without knowing whether this is enforcement of a judgment its difficult to provide any further information.
If it is enforcement of a foreign judgment you could argue as a defence that by receiving no communications at all and the fact you were out of the country at the time proceedings were supposed to have taken place, there is a breach of natural justice in that you had no right to a fair trial and/or present your arguments as a defence to the claim.
