With reference to the legislation in the UAE and the judgments of the Court of Cassation in the Emirate of Dubai, a company may be defined as a contract by which two or more persons contribute a share of money or work to an economic project, the profit or loss of which they share. The interests of bona fide creditors and investors - who are dealing with the company in the belief that it is a genuine company, that the information contained in the company’s records is true and accurate, and who have either advanced credit to or invested their money in it as a result – must be protected. This article considers a provision of the UAE Federal Law No. 2 of 2015 concerning Commercial Companies (“Companies Law”), which aims to provide such protection and punish those who violate its terms.
