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?

Hi, I have been here for 3 years now and paid the increased amount (as per the agreement) for the 4th year. However, the landlord did not send me back the signed contract, although I have both made the payment for the full year via bank transfer and sent my signed contract to him. I need to renew my Ejari; however, how can I do it without the landlord's signature? I have all the previous contracts signed by both parties, along with the Ejari for those contracts.

Hello, How can I file a counter-complaint against a person who made a false report about me for public cursing, which I never did? He made the complaint about three months after we last met. I now have a case because of it, but I never said any bad words to him. I was stopped at the airport because of that.

I got a work permit and entry from a Dubai employer for work. During the travel to Dubai, do I need to show any accommodation proof, return ticket, or anything? What documents do I need to carry?

I would like to know how to clear my police record due to a legal case that was closed 1 year ago. I need to clear it in order to be able to get a job position.

Hello. My company has filed a case against a client for failure to pay and a bounced cheque. The client's company is registered as a virtual office in the Creative City Free Zone in Fujairah, so our case is filed there. The client basically purchased some equipment from us, and his payment via bank transfer did not go through and was rejected. Then, when we deposited his security cheque after multiple attempts to contact and no answer, the cheque bounced. The company is under his wife's name, and we have filed a case on the same. The court has accepted our application, however, they have instructed the execution bureau to get the Emirates ID of this authorised signatory. The bureau is asking us to get it, and we have no way to do so, unfortunately. Without the Emirates ID, the court cannot freeze the bank accounts or put a travel ban, etc. What are our options here?

Hello, Can an employer post an employee's photo on social media, LinkedIn or Instagram, without the employee's consent? Secondly, the employer is forcing the employee to update the company details in the employee's profile. I believe LinkedIn and Instagram are personal profiles and one cannot be forced to update the details. This photo was taken in the office.

السلام عليكم، أنا من فلسطين ومقيم بالإمارات ومتزوج من أردنية موجودة بالأردن. أرغب في الطلاق وهناك مهر متأخر قدره أربعة آلآف دينار. أسأل عن متطلبات وكيفية إنهاء عملية الطلاق وهل هناك متطلبات ألتزم بها؟ وشكرًا!

كمطعم، لدينا نفس سعر الأصناف الغذائية في قائمة الطعام، وقائمة التوصيل، وموقعنا الإلكتروني، وجميع منصات الوسائط الاجتماعية الأخرى مثل جوجل وتطبيق الفيس بوك وما إلى ذلك، وأينما نبيع بشكل مباشر. ولكن عندما نبيع من خلال منصات تابعة للغير، فإنهم يتقاضون عمولة بحد أدنى 25٪ إلى 30٪، وهذا يؤدي إلى زيادة الخسائر. نريد الحفاظ على أسعارنا أعلى بنسبة 20٪ على منصات الغير لتغطية الفرق. يدعي مندوبو المبيعات من هذه المنصات الخارجية أن حكومة دولة الإمارات العربية المتحدة لا تسمح بذلك بموجب قانون حماية المستهلك؛ القانون الاتحادي رقم (24) لسنة 2006 في شأن حماية المستهلك. ومع ذلك، قرأت القانون بنفسي ولم يُذكر في أي جزء أنه لا يحق للمطعم أن يكون له سعر مختلف على موقعه الإلكتروني / قائمة الطعام على المنصات التابعة للغير. يوجد لدى الكثير من المطاعم الأخرى أسعار مختلفة على الموقع الإلكتروني الخاص بها وسعر أعلى على المنصات التابعة للغير. هل يمكنك أن تعطينا المشورة القانونية إذا كان بإمكاننا عرض سعر أعلى بنسبة 20٪ على منصات الإنترنت التابعة للغير؟ شكرًا.

عزيزي المحامي، أريد أن أسأل بشأن زوجي الذي أحضرني إلى باكستان مع ابني البالغ من العمر أربع سنوات في إجازة وأخذ مني جواز سفر ابني بالقوة وتركني وحدي مع الطفل دون أي نفقات. لدي تأشيرة عمل وابني تحت كفالة والده. في الوقت الحالي لا يمكنني العودة مع طفلي لأن أهل زوجي يحتفظون بجواز سفر ابني ويهددونني بأنهم سيأخذون طفلي بالقوة. أريد العودة إلى دولة الإمارات العربية المتحدة حيث يتعين علي إبلاغ صاحب العمل عن الوضع الحالي ولكنني أحتاج إلى جواز سفر ابني. لقد حظر زوجي رقم هاتفي وقطع كافة وسائل الاتصال بعد عودته.

I received a legal notice to pay rent. I have already cleared the amount specified in the legal notice, but my landlord is now saying that I also need to clear further late fees as per our contract within the legal notice time period. Is that valid if it is not stated in the notice?
