Gulf News wrongly reported/published the following:

The word ‘criminal’ was misspelled as ‘crininal’ in the sentence: "Crininal cases filed against defaulters prior to the amendments to the Commercial Transactions Law that came to effect on January 2, 2022 will continue to remain so until settled through legal channels or converted to civil cases under the provisions of the amended law." It should have read as: ‘Criminal cases filed against defaulters prior to the amendments to the Commercial Transactions Law that came to effect on January 2, 2022 will continue to remain so until settled through legal channels or converted to civil cases under the provisions of the amended law.’ It was part of a report in the Business section, gulfnews.com, published on April 30.
