Real estate regulators in Ajman have filed cases with police to crack down on absconding developers.

The Ajman Real Estate Regulatory Agency is chasing those rogue builders who have failed to fulfil their contractual commitment, but emphasis is still on resolving disputes through mediation, director general Omar Al Barguthi said.

"We are opening cases against absconding developers and the ones who have failed to fulfil their contractual obligations. And a few have already been arrested," he said in comments published by Emirates Business.
