Answer: Yes. If the matter relates to the amount of outstanding debt and the application of previously made payments, and not merely to procedural aspects of enforcement, then such a decision may be appealed, including through the court of appeal, in accordance with Article 209 of Federal Decree-Law No. 42 of 2022 Promulgating the Civil Procedure Code.
