Answer: No, an appeal is not permitted until a final judgment has been issued in the case. According to Article 152 of Federal Decree-Law No. 42 of 2022 Promulgating the Civil Procedure Code, appeals are only allowed after a conclusive ruling has been made — except in specific cases:
- Summary and urgent judgments (e.g., seizure, travel ban, suspension of a contract).
- Judgments ordering the dismissal of proceedings (e.g., procedural rejection, permanent suspension of the case).
- Judgments subject to compulsory execution (e.g., enforcement, eviction — even if not final).
- Judgments establishing lack of jurisdiction.
- Judgments confirming the court’s jurisdiction in cases where it otherwise lacks authority.
