The Abu Dhabi Global Market Registration Authority issued this consultation paper to seek public feedback on its proposed Late Renewal Penalty Guide for commercial licenses. The guide establishes a graduated penalty scheme for fines imposed on entities conducting business with expired licenses, scaling the penalty based on the duration of the lapse up to a maximum of USD 20,000. Stakeholders are invited to submit written comments by January 31, 2019, to influence the finalization of the policy regarding fine determination, payment, and appeals.
