Hello I have a question. I have a case before the 3rd first instance court in Dubai already, and it's in the preparatory stage. Can I ask for an urgent decision on the overdue payments? I have no source of income, and ILOE is asking for a judgment to release my funds. Is this achievable and doable, and what are the consequences, please?

I am writing to formally seek your guidance and assistance regarding my Technical Trade License and associated joint bank account. I hold a Technical Trade License together with my business partner, Mr. K. M., who has been out of the country for the past 2–3 months. During this period, he has been unreachable and has not responded to any calls or communication. Additionally, my partner has taken an amount of AED 30,000 from me, which has not yet been repaid. We also maintain a joint bank account under the company, which I wish to close. However, the bank requires both partners’ signatures for cancellation. As my partner is absent and not cooperating, I am unable to proceed. In view of the above, I kindly request your advice and support on the following: - The process to remove my partner’s name from the Trade License. - Guidance on how to proceed with closing or freezing the joint bank account in the absence of my partner’s signature. I can file a case in India.

Good evening, Sir. My brother from India got arrested for a car accident case in Al-Ain. He is in jail now, and the judgment is deportation from the country. How many days will it take for deportation? Any possibility of appealing the judgment?

Good day! I just want to seek advice regarding my unpaid salary and gratuity. Actually, I already filed a case in MOHRE, and they released a final decision. However, until now, my previous company has refused to give me my last salary and gratuity, and they are not even replying to my messages and emails. What should I do? Thank you.

I want to file for personal insolvency in Dubai. I have bounced checks and credit cards, but no assets.

​Hello, I am seeking clarification on the execution process for a judgment issued by the Dubai Courts. ​The case (No. [---/---]) is for the execution of a personal status judgment for non-Muslims (No. [---/---]). The judgment includes both a monetary award and a separate, non-monetary order (to provide a visa). ​The execution for the monetary part is currently pending as the court's system is waiting for an exact final amount to be calculated by the accounts department. ​I have been told that because the monetary amount is part of the same judgment, the non-monetary visa order cannot be pursued separately until the monetary calculation is complete. ​Is this correct? In the Dubai Courts, are the enforcement processes for monetary and non-monetary orders dependent on each other, or can they be pursued at the same time?

If someone files a criminal police report against me in Dubai, does it mean that it will immediately affect my PCC? Will I be able to get a PCC from MOI or the Dubai police?

I am contacting you to verify whether my name appears on a travel ban list for the United Arab Emirates. To explain the situation: some time ago, I was in Dubai with my father and our family. Following a dispute regarding a vehicle bill — where the person involved acted, in our opinion, dishonestly and tried to charge us more than agreed — my father received a travel ban. I would like to know if, as a result of this matter, I might also be subject to a travel ban, even though I was not directly involved in the dispute. We do not wish to pursue legal action, as it would be too costly, but I would like to ensure that I can travel freely to Dubai. Could you please advise on the procedure or check my status? I can provide my full name, nationality, and passport number to facilitate the verification.

Hi I have a question. Last week, I settled my debt under the Amicable Settlement Center in Dubai Courts. The plaintiff acknowledged the receipt of the total payment from me. However, it was also stipulated in the amicable settlement that the plaintiff needed to make sure the travel ban against me had to be cancelled immediately. However, now one week later, he still hasn’t lifted the travel ban and isn’t responding to my call/message. As I need to travel, I would like to know: 1. What can I do myself and how? 2. Is there any way I can make sure he honours his part of the settlement with urgency, as I need to travel next week? Please advise. Thank you

Hello, I am a landlord. The tenant failed to pay the rent in one full payment as per the contract. So far, 3 months remain until the expiry date of the contract, and the payment is still pending. Do I have the right to evict the tenant from the apartment and refuse to renew the tenancy contract?
