Transporte de automóveis

Thank you for your message. If a shipping or logistics company in the UAE is holding your vehicle without legal authority and attempting to sell it without your consent, this is a serious matter. Even if the company is registered in a free zone or is no longer valid, it does not have the right to dispose of your property. As the registered owner, you may have both civil and criminal remedies available, particularly if there is evidence of unlawful possession, misrepresentation, or attempted sale without authorization.

The immediate steps usually include gathering all ownership and shipping documents (vehicle title, bill of lading, shipping contract, payment records, and correspondence), and filing a formal complaint with the police in the emirate where the vehicle is located. Depending on the facts, complaints may also be made to the relevant free zone authority and the courts to prevent sale and seek recovery of the vehicle. Acting quickly is important to protect your rights and prevent transfer of the car to a third party. I recommend obtaining local legal assistance to secure the vehicle and pursue enforcement as efficiently as possible.

Sincerely,
