Expatriates jailed for bounced deposit cheques have been freed, and federal courts have stopped hearing criminal cases involving such cheques.
It follows similar move in October that affected only Emiratis.
Officials from the Ministry of Presidential Affairs, the Ministry and Justice and lawyers confirmed to The National's Arabic sister paper, Al Ittihad, that acting on a decree by the President, Sheikh Khalifa, expatriate and Emirati defaulters are now to be treated equally when it comes to cheques held against them as collateral.
