Hi, I need to hire a property lawyer. I have purchased a property that is still under construction. The handover was supposed to be May 2018 and it has been delayed for over 18 months. Can you please advise what is the average fee to the lawyer and any upcoming fees? I would like to either receive compensation for the delay or terminate the SPA and receive what I have paid. Thanks

My company terminated my services without any reason except for what they told me that they are cost-cutting. What are the complete benefits that they have to pay to me beside the gratuity? I worked there for 3 years.

ما هو إجمالي رسوم رفع قضية مدنية للمطالبة بشيك مرتجع قيمته أربعة ملايين درهم؟

مرحبًا، أعمل مدير عام في إحدى الشركات بمدينة دبي للإنترنت ونائب مدير المبيعات لدى تحالف الإعلام والترفيه والفنون. تم إنهاء عقد العمل الخاص بي بعد ثلاثة عشر عامًا بسبب بعض النتائج التي لا تلبي توقعات الشركة. لم يتم اتباع أي إجراءات قبل إنهاء الخدمة. أود أن أعرف ما إذا كان لديّ الحق في المطالبة بالتعويض عن الفصل التعسفي. تحياتي، أ. د.

لقد منحت قرضًا لصاحب العمل بسبب الوضع المالي السيء للشركة من أجل دعمها دون اتفاقية مكتوبة. بسبب الوضع السيء للشركة، سرحت الشركة أكثر من 80٪ من القوة العاملة بمن فيهم أنا. كما أن هناك بعض الرواتب المعلقة المستحقة لي وكانت الشركة تدفع لي أقساط شهرية ثابتة لسداد القرض المذكور حتى الشهر الماضي. يرجى تقديم المشورة حول كيفية استرداد المستحقات بما في ذلك القرض والرسوم مقابل الخدمات المقدمة.

Hello, Is there any restriction on a diplomat buying property in the UAE, where he works as a diplomat at his country's consulate?

Hi. One of my friends joined a Telegram group. They said, "We will transfer some amount to your account, and your task is to transfer this amount to another account. Once the task is completed, you will get 30 or 50 AED per task." He completed 3 to 4 tasks, but he realized it was not good, so he stopped. After one week, when he opened his account, it was blocked, and the bank said, "We are conducting an investigation; after this, we will let you know." After some days, he had an accident and went to his home country. He then received a call from a landline number, which was from the Abu Dhabi police station. They said, "We have received a complaint against you; come to our investigation department." However, due to his surgery and treatment, he could not go. After some time, his bank account was reopened, and he did not receive any further calls. I want to know, if he comes back to the UAE or goes to any other GCC country, will he face any problems? If someone has a case in the UAE, can they travel to another GCC country? Please advise!

Hello, What legal action can I take in case the employer refuses to pay my salary and I don't have a contract with them?

I currently live in Sharjah and have a UAE residence visa but I am not a UAE or GCC national. I want to open an online shop (Etsy or Shopify) to sell handmade items, such as crocheted goods, bookmarks, greeting cards, etc. Do I need a license to open an Etsy shop? If so, which license do I need to sell my products online, including UAE and worldwide? How much would it cost me? Can I keep my residence visa (sponsored by my father) and not change it?

Hello, I am seeking your legal advice regarding a friend who was previously imprisoned in Abu Dhabi. His case there is now closed, but he has another ongoing case in Dubai. Currently, we have lost contact with him and are unsure of his whereabouts. How can we check where he is or access any other legal facility? Are there legal procedures to locate a person with an ongoing case? What steps should we take to get more information about his status and legal position?
