In UAE civil law – as in other civil law systems – not all limitation periods are mentioned and dealt with in a specific statute. Most limitation periods are found in the Civil Code of the United Arab Emirates. Article 473 of the Civil Code sets the normal limitation period: in general, any civil action is extinguished after the expiry of a period of 15 years from the date of its existence, unless specific legal provisions in this area. There are many specific, shorter time limits for certain types of claims, most of which are contained in the UAE Civil Code itself.

A limitation period (or limitation period as it is known at common law) is a statutory period for the enforcement of a civil action through legal proceedings. Since such a limitation period does not normally eliminate the claim, it provides the other party with an effective defence against its enforcement, so that it constitutes a procedural obstacle on which the opponent can rely.
Therefore, before deciding to lodge a claim, it is of paramount importance to determine the limitation period applicable to the present claim. A limitation period is always established by the legislator in a codified law by setting a specific period from the date of existence of a particular claim. Therefore, not only the duration of such a period must be determined, but also the date of its existence – its beginning – must be identified in a particular case. Different demands arise under different conditions. Some claims require a subjective element, such as knowledge of an action that leads to a particular claim. Often, the difficulties in determining the correct statute of limitations lie here and may require both evidence and proof.
