What are important points to remember when making a declaration of complaint in UAE?

• Keep a declaration of complaint as clear and concise as possible. Hire a lawyer or legal consultant in Dubai so you can stick to all of the main points. Make sure that the most important points are stated first. The less important ones can be added in the last part of the declaration. This is because a judge doesn’t want to be reading anything that’s unrelated to a motion.
• A declaration of complaint has to be based on the personal knowledge of the complainant (what was experienced or seen firsthand), and not what another person has told you.
• Explain how you are connected to the party being complained about.
• The declaration of complaint has to be typed neatly in dark blue or black ink. Whenever a declaration of complaint in UAE is hard to read, a judge won’t read it.
• Always make sure that you are specific and avoid general statements like “she’s a bad mother.” Describe the specific things. Say where and when things happened.
• There are local courts that limit the pages that you can give to a court with your motion. You can ask a legal advocate in Dubai or a public notary in Dubai regarding regulations on declarations of complaint in UAE.
• Attach extra pages or documents to a declaration of complaint should you need a lot more space. Don’t go over a page limit set by authorities for declarations of complaint. A writer of a declaration has to date and sign the document after the line: “I declare under the penalty of perjury…” The extra pages should have at least an inch of margin. Number the pages of the declaration at the bottom.
• Make use of headings in organizing a declaration of complaint. It will make it easier for a judge to find a subject. Remember to take time in organizing your ideas should you write your own declaration of complaint.
• Tell your side to a story. When you’re responding to the motion of another party, respond to major points that are in the declaration of the other party.
