3 متاح 3 • عرض الجميعWhat laws apply to goods sales, and what about delayed payments?
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
A total of 3 consignments of spices were exported to a Dubai-based company. The payment terms were 50% against AWB and the rest after 15 days of delivery. After the delivery of the 2nd transaction, we got the first part of the payment.
Upon sending the 3rd consignment, the company complained of quality issues in the product shipped in the second consignment (after 14 days of delivery) and released the 50% payment for the third consignment also.
No further discussions were made regarding the second consignment's quality. They assured to release the payment as per payment terms.
As soon as the third consignment reached, they again complained of quality issues about the size of the product. We asked them to return the goods and not sell them further.
They have sold the goods and after 20 days, are demanding a lab test on a very small quantity of goods remaining with them and are not releasing payments.
What laws apply to the sales of goods and their payments?
What recourse do we have?

عرض الجميعI got involved in a bar fight and wrongfully accused of assault and other charges. What to do?
I have a misdemeanor case under investigation. What can I do and what can I expect?
I got involved in a bar fight when my friend was punched in the face by the complainant. When I was about to approach him to ask him about it, he shoved me in the head.
I lost balance and I grabbed him, and we both fell down, then my friend and his colleagues started beating him.
CID called me for an interview, telling me that the guy complained about his watch, which I didn't steal. Then he also complained about the harassment. Which I didn't do as well.
Now, the report is saying that I have charges of indecent assault, public intoxication, causing a riot, and public cursing.
Please help me decide what to do!
I'm considering hiring a criminal lawyer to help me with this.

My father left the UAE and left his car with his cousin to continue loan payments. How to check his status
Dear Sir/Ma'am,
I am planning to bring my father to Dubai for a visit. He left Dubai in 2009 due to serious medical reasons and left his car with his cousin, with an outstanding bank installment for the car, which was around AED 10,000. We subsequently cancelled his visa.
It has been over 10 years, and I am concerned about potential fines or travel bans, as we are unsure if the remaining car payments were completed by his cousin. We are not on speaking terms with his cousin, so I cannot confirm this.
I found that checking fines or travel bans usually requires an Emirates ID, but my father left Dubai before Emirates IDs were introduced and only has his passport. The company he worked for also no longer exists.
Could you please advise if there is another way to check for fines?
Kind regards!

عرض الجميعCan I petition for immediate eviction due to tenant violations and refusal to vacate after notice?
Dear Lawyers,
I have a question regarding an immediate eviction petition to the Urgent Judge. The tenant did not return the apartment on 26 January 2025, despite a 12-month legal notice that ended on 25 January 2025.
The tenant rejected all gas and fire prevention maintenance for 12 months. Al-Fanar Gas submitted a report with the tenant's signature and refusal after the tenant broke the gas detector.
The apartment was sold, and the new owner gave the tenant 90 days' notice. The tenant refused to show the new owner the apartment and ran away, according to building management.
The tenant ignored the 12-month legal notice, did not return the apartment, broke the gas detector, and refused gas and fire detection system maintenance.
The deal will be voided if the new owner cannot enter the property promptly. Can I petition the Urgent Matters Judge for quick eviction based on the tenant's violations?

We performed services as the official channel partner for a free zone that did not pay our commission. What to do?
Hello everyone,
I’m seeking professional legal opinions regarding an ongoing dispute we are facing with a free zone authority in the UAE.
We are an official channel partner for the Free Zone and have generated several clients and successful business registrations through our efforts.
Despite fulfilling our responsibilities as per the agreement, the Free Zone has not released our due commission.
It's been several months now, and we've experienced repeated delays, vague justifications, and non-committal responses from their end. It appears they are intentionally using delaying tactics.
We are exploring our legal options now and would appreciate guidance on the following:
What legal steps can be taken in such a case in the UAE?
Is this considered a breach of contract or unfair commercial practice?
Would it be advisable to send a legal notice first, or directly approach the relevant dispute resolution authority?

What are my options if my family is abusive and I’m an 18-year-old female with no support?
Hello,
Abusive family members, parents and brother, with nowhere to go. Female, 18 years old. I need help. My parents physically abused me, and my mother almost killed me two years ago during a psychotic episode that was their fault.
I didn’t have mental issues growing up, but my mother spiritually abused me and brainwashed me with her ideas, while my father enabled her.
I couldn't choose what to eat, what to wear, or where to go, etc. My brother moved in later, and now they all gang up on me and verbally abuse me. He has so much more freedom than I do, as they favor him.
I can’t stay here. I'm at my breaking point.

I received a verdict on my personal name for my company unpaid rent without proper notification. What to do?
Hello, our business has unpaid rent.
1. The 30-day notice named my business but also wrongfully named my private name, while the rental contract is solely under the business name. I'm sure it was done in bad faith by the landlord to try to damage me personally.
2. After the 1st notice, I expected an RDC notification, and nothing came. I just logged in today on my app and saw that a verdict was pronounced on the 21st of August in this case, without me even getting an email, messages, or notification at the office to even appear at the 1st instance!
How can this be handled?
First of all, this rental situation should not involve my private name as the company is the sole tenant on this contract, and second, no notifications were ever sent to me, although at the office every day!
Here is my WhatsApp for whoever knows what to do to successfully dispute these tricks by this landlord.

I came to Dubai in 2011 on a visit visa and got a job in a company in Dubai, which delayed my employment visa.

I am a former Branch Manager whose residence visa expired on 23 May 2025, and I have exceeded the grace period of three months.
Unfortunately, I was unable to cancel my visa due to an arrest warrant arising from non-payment issues linked to the company I was previously employed with.
On 16 August 2025, I was arrested and attended the Prosecutor’s hearing on 17 August 2025. I was released with an ankle tracker under the condition that partial payment must be made by 16 September 2025.
At present, I am no longer employed by the Company. My labour card has been cancelled.
I have not received my final settlement or end-of-service benefits.
I am a single mother sponsoring a child, and urgently need to regularize my visa status to be able to work again.
I want your guidance and representation on the following:

I filed a case for my unpaid salary and gratuity and a final decision has been released. How to enforce it?
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.

A travel agent promised us a guaranteed visit visa to Canada and failed to obtain or return our money. What to do?
My friend and I gave 31500 dhs to a lady in Dubai who is also a Canadian citizen. She approached us as a travel agent for a Canadian visit visa and a fake appointment letter for a job, too.
She said if we do not get a visit visa, then she will return the whole amount. It has been two years, and she has not given us the money back.
She is in Dubai and making excuses. Our whole conversation is in WhatsApp messages about money, too; we have those offer letters, too.
Please, I need good advice, how to get our money back?
I work in a big company as a sales assistant.

Can my employer send me back to my home country if I resign after one year?
Hello,
I want to know if my employer has the right to send me back to my home country since they hired me directly from there, if I resign after one year with them.

How can I recover money from a colleague who blocked me and refuses to repay?
Hello,
I am seeking your legal advice regarding a matter involving a former colleague who borrowed money from me for personal reasons.
Despite multiple follow-ups, he has now blocked all communication and is refusing to repay the amount. I have clear proof of the transaction through bank transfer records, WhatsApp conversations, and a copy of his Emirates ID.
This individual has a history of borrowing money from others and not repaying, and even told me to "go to the police," showing no intention of resolving the issue.
Please advise on the best legal course of action to recover the amount and proceed with a formal complaint if necessary.
Looking forward to your guidance!

My father left the UAE and left his car with his cousin to continue loan payments. How to check his status
Dear Sir/Ma'am,
I am planning to bring my father to Dubai for a visit. He left Dubai in 2009 due to serious medical reasons and left his car with his cousin, with an outstanding bank installment for the car, which was around AED 10,000. We subsequently cancelled his visa.
It has been over 10 years, and I am concerned about potential fines or travel bans, as we are unsure if the remaining car payments were completed by his cousin. We are not on speaking terms with his cousin, so I cannot confirm this.
I found that checking fines or travel bans usually requires an Emirates ID, but my father left Dubai before Emirates IDs were introduced and only has his passport. The company he worked for also no longer exists.
Could you please advise if there is another way to check for fines?
Kind regards!

I received a judgment for a criminal case that I did not know about. Should I appeal it?
I had a criminal case registered against me due to a telegram scam in Dubai. But I didn't know about it.
It's been more than 6 months, and now I know about the case against me again.
Can I appeal it in court, or will the judgment be enforced now?

The property developer wants to add huge charges on me for modifications after the NOC. What to do?
Hello,
In short, I have an issue with [-----] Properties as an owner in [-----].
They want to impose on me fines and huge additional charges (over 40,000 AED) for modifications that were executed before I purchased the property, and after they have provided a NOC.
They have also been absent for over 2 months and have not replied to my questions.
I would like to know what my options are, what the risks are if I ignore their demand, and any other relevant information on the topic.
Thank you in advance!
