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?

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?

Good day. For the last 3 years, the landlord's office has not responded to renew the contract, so I contacted RERA for renewal. The office doesn't respond to emails related to renewal, even though I started sending emails and reminders 2 to 3 months before expiry, and I have no choice but to contact RERA and send a notice. Once the renewal was processed by law, the landlord's office delayed in releasing the Ejari. Since it is a commercial property, my renewals are related to a staff visa, and I have to pay delay penalties. The landlord's office staff tried to take advantage of the Emirati owner, and no direct meeting was fruitful. What is the law that safeguards expats and sorts out issues without mutual compromise as they try to force their terms to be acceptable by law and not supported by any documentation?

Hi, I wanted to purchase a 2-bedroom apartment in JVC Dubai. I gave a 10% security deposit cheque to the seller. The price mentioned in the MoU is very high compared to other similar apartments in the same building. The bank’s valuation also came in very low. Since the valuation is much lower, how can I terminate the MoU and get my cheque back? The MoU ends on 1st October 2024. One of the articles in the MoU states: In the event that the Buyer fails to make the payments as agreed or fails to complete the transfer on the agreed date due to his own acts or omissions, the Seller has the right to terminate this agreement and retain the deposit, provided that the termination is due to a violation of the agreed terms, unless both parties agree amicably to different dates. I need help urgently.

Dear Sir/Madam, There is an employee who has been absent repeatedly. However, the company is not paying salaries on time, with regular delays in salary payments. Can the company terminate the employee without end-of-service or notice period compensation if the employee cites occasional salary delays as the reason for their absences?

If staff did not come back from vacation, after how long can we terminate him/her?

Regarding the probation period, when is the deadline for an employer to terminate me if the DOJ anniversary is Friday 2nd Feb? Will the six-month period end at midnight on the 1st, therefore completing six months, or can the employer still terminate on the 2nd? Appreciate any guidance provided.

مرحبًا أيها المحامين، استثمر الكثير من الأشخاص في شركة لتداول العملات الأجنبية مقرها في دولة الإمارات. هل يجب علينا توكيل محامٍ لرفع قضية أم يمكننا تقديم بلاغ في مركز الشرطة لاستدعاء الطرف المعني حتى يتمكنوا من تسوية الأمر واسترداد أموالنا؟ يرجى تقديم المساعدة لنا. شكرًا لكم.

مرحبًا، تخطط الشركة التي أعمل بها والتابعة لمركز دبي للسلع المتعددة للإغلاق. إنهم ليسوا على استعداد لدفع مكافأة نهاية الخدمة المستحقة لنا. لقد عرضوا على الموظفين الباقين، بمن فيهم أنا، أن يتم نقلهم إلى شركة جديدة سيفتتحونها قريبًا. هل هناك أي طريقة يمكننا من خلالها الاستمرار في العقد حتى لا نفقد مكافأة نهاية الخدمة المستحقة لنا على المدى الطويل؟ لقد عملنا جميعًا في الشركة لأكثر من ثمان سنوات حتى الآن. أشكرك شكرًا جزيلاً.

هناك أمر تنفيذي صادر ضد شركتنا بسبب قضية تجارية في محاكم دبي رفعها ضدنا أحد الدائنين وتم إغلاق المكتب من قبل المحكمة. انتهت صلاحية "إيجاري" للمكتب، وفي غضون ذلك، طلب مني الوكيل العقاري تسليم المكتب أو مواجهة قضية إيجار أخرى لأننا ما زلنا مسؤولين عن الإيجار. المبلغ المُطالب به في القضية المدنية كبير ولا تستطيع الشركة دفعه في الوقت الحالي ولا نريد الدخول في قضية أخرى. هل هناك طريقة يستطيع المالك من خلالها استعادة المبنى؟ إلى متى سيظل المبنى مغلقًا بأمر من المحكمة حتى يتم اتخاذ الخطوة التالية؟

لماذا عقوبة تدخين الحشيش في إمارة دبي هي الغرامة والترحيل بينما في إمارة أبو ظبي هي السجن لمدة عامين والترحيل؟ هل يمكن استئناف الحكم وتخفيفه؟ كيف يمكن إدراج اسم المتهم في قائمة العفو؟
