Final Judgment Secures Property Rights After 18-Year Delay
การโอนกรรมสิทธิ์
In a remarkable case that stretched over 18 years, RAALC Law Firm successfully delivered justice for a client who had purchased a property in 2007. Following the cancellation of the project and years of legal uncertainty, the client was left without possession of their unit. Through persistence, strategic litigation, and a deep command of UAE real estate law, RAALC ensured that the client’s rights were finally restored in 2025. This case serves as a powerful reminder that, even after years of delay, justice can prevail.
The dispute arose when a new developer took control of the project under a ruling issued by the now-defunct Real Estate Projects Committee. Despite assuming control, the developer denied responsibility for contracts concluded before their involvement. The client, who had fully paid for the property and secured preliminary registration, faced years of resistance as the developer sought to distance itself from any liability.
Led by Mr. Hossam Hassanein (Head of Litigation), and supported by Mr. Amir Fahim (Legal Advisor) and Mr. Zaur Kurbanov (Senior Corporate Consultant), our litigation team built the case on a robust legal foundation:
- Article 251 of the UAE Civil Transactions Law, which provides for the transfer of personal rights connected to property when acquired by a successor who is aware of those rights.
- Established principles from the Dubai Court of Cassation, confirming that once full payment and preliminary registration are complete, a successor developer cannot deny the buyer’s rights.
- Evidentiary proof that the client had settled the full purchase price and completed official registration procedures.
By combining statutory interpretation, judicial precedents, and factual evidence, our lawyers dismantled the opposition’s arguments and demonstrated the developer’s legal obligations beyond any doubt.
The Dubai court issued a decisive ruling that:
- Ordered the developer to deliver the unit and transfer full ownership to the client.
- Awarded compensation from the original developer who had initially sold the property.
- Assigned all legal fees and costs to the opposing parties.
- Overturned an earlier ruling that had rejected the client’s claims.
Following the judgment, the client finally received possession and legal ownership of the property, bringing an end to nearly two decades of uncertainty.
This outcome is more than a personal victory for our client. It reaffirms a critical legal principle in the UAE real estate market: successor developers who acquire canceled projects cannot evade the obligations linked to units that were lawfully sold and registered. For buyers affected by delayed or canceled developments, this case provides renewed confidence that their rights remain protected under UAE law.
At RAALC Law Firm, we take pride in navigating the most complex disputes and delivering results that others may see as unattainable. This case demonstrates our unwavering commitment to protecting clients’ investments and enforcing accountability in the real estate sector.

Final Court Ruling Awards Over USD 4.38M to Investor in Failed Oil & Gas Project
RAALC Law Firm secured a major legal victory on behalf of an international investor who had transferred USD 5.1 million to a company for the purpose of entering a government project in Iraq’s oil and gas sector. Despite the substantial investment, the company failed to issue the required bank guarantee, submit project documentation, or return any part of the funds. After more than four years of inaction, our client turned to RAALC to enforce accountability.
Under the leadership of Mr. Hossam Hassanein, Head of Litigation, our legal team built a case rooted in financial responsibility and commercial obligation. Despite complete denial from the opposing company, we presented transaction records, lack of contractual performance, and the expired guarantee to establish a clear case of unjust enrichment. The court-appointed expert panel confirmed the absence of any contractual execution or return on investment.
Key Outcomes:
- Final judgment in favor of the investor
- USD 4,387,723.86 awarded
- Additional 5% annual legal interest from the date of claim
- Defendant found liable for wrongful retention of client funds
- Court confirmed no contract, benefit, or return was ever provided
This ruling reinforces the enforceability of investor rights and the consequences of cross-border contractual failure.
RAALC continues to represent clients in complex, high-value financial and cross-border disputes. Our litigation approach is grounded in precision, evidence, and a deep understanding of regional and international commercial law.
If your organization is facing a stalled investment, incomplete project, or breach of obligation, our commercial litigation team is ready to act.

Final Judgment Secured: Real Estate Unit Delivered and Ownership Restored After 17-Year Delay
RAALC Law Firm recently achieved a critical legal victory for a client who had been waiting since 2007 to receive a property unit purchased in a now-canceled real estate project. Despite years of administrative changes and developer transitions, our team ensured the client’s right was recognized and enforced.
Led by Mr. Hossam Hassanein, Head of Litigation, our legal team built a compelling argument based on the full payment made by the client to the original developer and the official records of initial registration. Although the project was later transferred to a new developer by a ruling from the now-defunct Real Estate Projects Committee, the successor sought to deny liability. We challenged this defense and demonstrated the legal continuity of the client’s rights and the successor’s knowledge of the registered claim.
Key Outcomes:
- Final judgment in favor of our client
- The current developer was ordered to deliver the unit and transfer ownership
- Compensation awarded against the original developer
- Full legal fees and court costs assigned to the opposing party
- Overturned the earlier ruling that had dismissed the claim
This ruling not only restored our client’s ownership rights but also reaffirms the enforceability of pre-existing real estate commitments under UAE law.
RAALC’s litigation team continues to stand at the forefront of complex real estate disputes, navigating jurisdictional transitions and holding developers accountable. Our success in this case highlights our ability to achieve results where others might settle for compromise.
If your property rights are under threat, or if you’re facing similar delays, our real estate litigation specialists are ready to act on your behalf.

Bankruptcy Judgment Issued in AED 334M Debt Case: RAALC Leads Strategic Insolvency Litigation
When a financially distressed client faced over AED 334 million in accumulated liabilities and creditor demands, RAALC Law Firm intervened with strategic precision. The complexity of the case, spanning multiple creditors, asset portfolios, and stalled commercial ventures, demanded a legal partner capable of navigating the intricate pathways of UAE bankruptcy law.
Led by Mr. Hossam Hassanein, Head of Litigation, RAALC initiated formal insolvency proceedings by filing for bankruptcy declaration. We demonstrated the client’s inability to restructure debts, highlighting fixed liabilities, outstanding guarantees, and the absence of viable repayment options. Our team worked alongside expert trustees, coordinated with execution courts for asset seizures, and established the legal grounds for debt discharge.
The court issued a final judgment:
- Declaring the client bankrupt
- Freezing all pre-existing claims and financial activities
- Assigning a trustee to manage asset liquidation and creditor communication
- Accepting AED 334,730,563.3 as final debt for clearance
- Dismissing restructuring due to legal and financial infeasibility
This ruling offers our client not just legal protection but a clean financial slate, affirming the strength of UAE insolvency legislation when paired with assertive legal representation.
At RAALC, we understand that financial distress requires more than legal advice—it demands a roadmap to recovery. Our insolvency team stands ready to help clients restructure, protect their assets, or begin again through strategic bankruptcy filings.
