I am planning to buy a property in Abu Dhabi; however, the apartment is already rented with the lease expiring in October 2025. In this case, once the property is transferred to me, I am not left with a 2-month notice period to evict the tenant. I plan to live in this apartment. Do I have to renew the contract and give a new notice to the tenant?

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.

Dear Team, I seek your assistance regarding a financial matter. I have an outstanding credit liability in Saudi Arabia amounting to approximately 80,000 SAR. I left the KSA in early 2023, and I now plan to travel to the UAE for a week. Could you please advise whether a travel ban in Saudi Arabia extends to other GCC countries, and if there is any potential risk of arrest or imprisonment upon entering the UAE under these circumstances?

We outsourced a project to a subcontractor, but the project was delayed beyond the completion date, which affected us. Is it possible to claim compensation if there were no clauses in the contract to claim for delays?

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 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?

Hi. I have been working for 4 and a half years, and my contract is limited. Last June, my contract was renewed.. I’m planning to resign this coming October 2025. Do I get any benefits or gratuity from the company? Please give some advice. Thank you…

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.
