A Respondent filed a request for a writ of execution, requesting that the Appellant be ordered to pay AED 7,123,321, which was the remaining amount due as stated in invoices signed and stamped in exchange for work it performed, and a delay in payment of 12.5% from the date of filing the lawsuit until full payment. This was based on the argument that, pursuant to four contracts of construction concluded between the parties in four projects, the amount in question was due from the Appellant, who refused to pay despite being ordered to do so.
