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?

أريد الحصول على المشورة القانونية بشأن إنهاء العقد بسبب التأخير في تسليم المشروع لمدة 16 شهرًا فقط. فيما يلي تفاصيل المشروع وفقًا لاتفاقية البيع والشراء وبعض المعطيات: - تم دفع 30% من قيمة العقار على أقساط (في الوقت المحدد، لا يوجد تأخير في السداد). - سيتم دفع 70% عند التسليم. - تاريخ التسليم المتوقع: 1 أبريل 2019. - تاريخ التسليم النهائي: 1 أبريل 2020. - التاريخ الفعلي للتسليم المُعلن من جانب المطور العقاري: 10 أغسطس 2020. - أرسلت بنفسي إشعار إلى المطور العقاري لإنهاء اتفاقية البيع والشراء واسترداد المبلغ المدفوع بنسبة 30٪. - رد المطور العقاري بأنه تم رفض الإشعار لأن التأخير يرجع إلى قوة قاهرة (فيروس كورونا). سؤالي هو: هل سأربح القضية إذا تم إحالة الأمر إلى المحكمة لاسترداد المبلغ المدفوع؟

ستنتهي فترة سماح تأشيرة إقامتنا قريبًا. ونظرًا لأن أحد أفراد الأسرة مصابًا بفيروس كورونا وهو في الحجر الصحي في المنزل، لن نتمكن من السفر خلال فترة السماح. ماذا يجب علينا أن نفعل؟ هل سيتم فرض غرامة علينا؟ يرجى تقديم المشورة.

مرحبًا، أراسلك من لندن. لقد اشتريت عقارًا في إمارة دبي ضمن مشروع عام 2005. لقد اشترينا شقتين ولكننا لم نستلم أي شيء حتى الآن. لا يزال مشروع البناء هذا قائمًا ولقد تغير المطور العقاري عدة مرات. تدير شركة أخرى المشروع في الوقت الحالي، وكلما تواصلت معهم يخبروني أن المشروع سيكون جاهزًا خلال الثلاثة أو الستة أشهر المقبلة. يستمرون في التأجيل والعمل متوقف في الوقت الحالي.  لقد تواصلت معهم بعد ذلك ولكنهم أخبروني أنهم ينتظرون المزيد من المعلومات من سلطات دبي. في كل مرة توجد قصة مختلفة، ويتم التأجيل. لقد مر حتى الآن من 16 إلى 17 عامًا منذ أن استثمرنا في هذا الأمر وأود إنهاء ذلك حاليًا، وربما استرداد أموالي والحصول على تعويض. هل يمكنك تقديم المساعدة لي من خلال إخباري بشأن وضعي؟

تطلقنا أنا وزوجتي منذ ثلاثة أشهر، ولديها حق حضانة ابنتنا البالغة من العمر ستة أشهر. إنها تريد الزواج مرة أخرى لكنني لا أوافق على الشخص الذي تريد الزواج منه مرة أخرى لأن لديه سوابق من العنف وسوء المعاملة. هل يمكنني إلغاء اتفاقية الحضانة؟

Hello, I was driving my car when the police stopped me at one point on the road and told me that I was driving under the influence of alcohol. I tried hard to deny that because I had not actually consumed any alcoholic beverages that day or in the previous three days. However, a report was filed and a case was opened, but the alcohol test report came back negative. Will I be convicted despite that? Please answer me. It is urgent.

Hello, We have an agreement with a company to supply food for their buffet on a daily basis, with invoices to be issued monthly and payment to be made every three months. The relationship actually lasted for nine months, and payment was made for two periods. In the third period, due to disagreements between our company and the company to which the supply was made, they refused to pay, noting that the outstanding amount so far is fifty-four thousand dirhams. Can we claim the amount, noting that the agreement is not written, but there are emails exchanged between us and invoices?

Hello, Is there a way out or a possibility that the authorities don't deport me and instead give me a time period to leave the UAE on my own after I have completed my imprisonment and paid the fine?

I’m looking for legal advice regarding a hair salon incident that caused serious damage to my hair and scalp. I visited a salon for a colouring treatment, during which two rounds of bleach, which is not what I booked in for, were given to me without proper approvals, and were applied back-to-back without a strand test or proper consultation. As a result, I’ve been experiencing extreme hair breakage, daily hair loss, and ongoing scalp irritation. This has been especially distressing as I’m currently pregnant. It’s now been over 20 days since the incident, and despite multiple polite follow-ups, the salon has ignored all communication. I’m now exploring legal action to pursue compensation for the physical and emotional distress caused. I have full documentation, messages, and photos. Any guidance on the best next steps or legal routes I can take would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Is it still applicable to file a complaint with the police for a bounced cheque?
