Use Dubai Courts’ notary route to send a formal legal notice demanding an act, stopping an act or cancelling a power of attorney.

Government & legal · Reviewed 7 October 2026

The short answer

A Dubai Courts legal notice is a notarised notice used to formally tell another party to do something, stop doing something or, in an appropriate case, record cancellation of a power of attorney.

What to do

1. State the purpose and remedy clearly

Identify the agreement, event, amount or obligation and the action requested. Keep allegations factual and supported.

2. Verify the recipient information

Use the correct legal name, address and available contact details. Incorrect service information can undermine the notice’s practical value.

3. Prepare Arabic or legal translation

Follow Dubai Courts’ document and translation requirements. Attach only material that supports the notice.

4. Submit and keep service evidence

Complete the notary process, retain the notice and delivery or service record, and calendar any deadline stated.

Important: A legal notice does not automatically start a court case or guarantee payment; get legal advice on limitation periods and next steps.
