Good morning. Kindly help me out with the below query: If a sole establishment is converted into an LLC, what would happen to the existing Lease Agreement with the Sole Establishment as the tenant? Thank you.

Good day, Sir, I have received a message from the Dubai Court stating that a bank has filed a civil case against me. The loan has been pending since February 2019. I cleared the cheque bounce case earlier with a court fine in 2019. I am looking forward to a minimum settlement plan with the bank. The outstanding amount was around 70,000 AED, and now the message is for 115,000 AED. What will be the best way for me to proceed: approaching the bank or dealing with it in court? Best regards,

Hello, I have given my notice, and my last day is July 24, but the employer is refusing to pay my salary; even the salary for June. Is this even legal? He claims I'll get everything at once, which is after leaving the country or changing status.

Dear Lawyers, I worked at a bakeshop here in Dubai. I resigned exactly one year ago. Now they want me to pay for visa charges, as stated in the offer letter. If I cannot pay for the charges, my employer will claim financial loss due to the damages, estimated to be at least 7,000 AED. What should I do about this? My monthly salary is only 2,800 AED.

Dear Lawyers, Is an employee eligible for maternity leave in the first three months of pregnancy? If an employee takes sick leave in the first three months of pregnancy, can it be considered normal sick leave or maternity leave?

Dear Respected Lawyers, Subject: Request for Legal Advice Regarding Unlawful Practices by a Debt Collection Agency I would greatly appreciate your advice and guidance regarding a troubling issue my colleague is facing with a collection agency. The company has been contacting the employer, urging them to ask my colleague to get in touch with them regarding a supposed liability. This claim is related to a 15-year-old closed dispute with a bank credit card, and the issue seems to stem from outdated and inaccurate information on the AECB report. Our main concerns are as follows: Unauthorized Access: The company is accessing her AECB report without her consent. She has never given permission for them to retrieve or view her personal financial information. How is it possible for a third-party agency to openly access and track AECB reports, especially for a dispute that was resolved 15 years ago?

I was evicted from my apartment after living there for five years. My landlord informed me a year in advance that the lease would not be renewed because he intended to sell the property. Prior to this, he attempted to impose a rent increase that was not compliant with RERA regulations, which I refused to accept. He then served me with an official Dubai Court eviction notice, citing the need to take back the property for sale. Five months after I moved out, I discovered the property was rented out at a much higher price. Upon further investigation, I found that the ownership was transferred as a "Gift" rather than a sale. This makes it seem like the eviction was only to raise the rent rather than a genuine need to sell. Do I have a valid case for wrongful eviction against my landlord? Also, under Dubai law, does transferring ownership as a "Gift" hold the same legal grounds as selling in justifying eviction?

Hello, My ex-wife has abused me in chat and called me the following: illiterate, beggar, and said that I don’t have [------]. She called me a bad parent and a bad son. Can I file a cyberbullying, defamation, or abuse case against her? What are my options?

Hi I'm an Irish citizen and a resident of the United Kingdom. I got investment fraud in Dubai. I invested money into a business with a Pakistani national guy in March 2024 via bank transfer into his business account. Now he's giving back the money which I invested in business after 9 months. He's preparing a letter from a local lawyer to kick me out of the business. I do not have any other option than to take out at least my money. But it's unfair to me that he used my money in business and took all the advantage. Some people say to me that if you claim money or take legal action against him, it will take too much time and I need to travel to Dubai to appear in court because it is a civil matter. But I'm not a resident. How can I follow the civil case there? That's why my partner knows that I can not do anything and this case keeps running long time and in the end nothing happens. But I'm thinking that I will submit a complaint through my embassy and I also have a solicitor in the United Kingdom.

Dear Lawyers, My relative lost his wife during childbirth due to clear medical negligence, as stated in the report from the DHA medical committee. He had to relocate to India due to the situation and is currently working there. Please guide us on the steps to take for justice and compensation.

سيدي العزيز / سيدتي العزيزة، أود أن يكون شخص صادق معي. أنا في المملكة المتحدة. ما المدة التي يتعين علي فيها المطالبة بالميراث في دبي؟ كنت أقرأ في صحيفة جلف نيوز أن قوانين بلد المتوفى وقت الوفاة يمكن تطبيقها فيما يتعلق بالوصية. هل هذا الأمر صحيح أم لا؟ أنا حقًا أبحث عن إجابة لهذين السؤالين أولاً. هل يمكن لأحد مساعدتي بذلك؟

عزيزتي المحامية سويتا سينغ، أنا من الهند وفي سبتمبر 2018 قمت بشراء شقة في أحد الفنادق. الفندق لم يكتمل وتأخر أكثر من سنة. لم يدفعوا أي تعويض بموجب العقد، ولا يتحدثون عنه. لقد دفعت أكثر من 80% بالتقسيط وأدفع بانتظام. الرجاء مساعدتي وإرشادي حول كيفية إلغاء الصفقة واسترداد أموالي بالكامل، أو أي طريقة أخرى تساعدني في استرداد استثماري. مع التحية،

عزيزي السائل، توفي والدي (مسلم) في جنوب أفريقيا. ترك وراءه 4 أطفال، زوجته (أمنا) وأمه. كانت لديه وصية في جنوب أفريقيا، وأنا (الابن الأكبر) منفذها. تنص الوصية على أنها تشمل جميع الممتلكات والأصول أينما كانت. لديه عقارات وأصول مختلفة في دولة الإمارات. أسئلتي هي: 1. هل وصيته قابلة للتنفيذ في الإمارات أم ستقسم الأموال حسب قوانين الشريعة الإسلامية؟ 2. ما هي المستندات المطلوبة لتوزيع تركته؟ 3. ما هي عملية التوزيع داخل دولة الإمارات؟

توفي ابني بشكل مأساوي في دبي وتم دفع راتبه إلى حسابه البنكي في الإمارات. تعيش ابنتي أيضًا في دبي ولديها حساب في نفس البنك. كيف يمكنني الوصول إلى حساب ابني من فضلك؟ أنا أعيش في المملكة المتحدة.

توفي عمي منذ أسبوعين في أحد المستشفيات الخاصة هنا في دبي. لقد أكملنا بالفعل كل ما يتعلق بإعادة جثته إلى الوطن بمساعدة صاحب العمل وتم إرسال رفاته بالفعل إلى وطننا الأسبوع الماضي. لقد اعتاد أن يمنحني حق الوصول إلى بطاقة الصراف الآلي الخاصة به من قبل وحاولت الوصول إليها قبل أيام قليلة فقط ووجدت أن هناك بعض المال المتبقي في حسابه المصرفي. أدرك أن لديه بعض القروض المصرفية المعلقة قبل وفاته، لذلك أخشى أن يكون هذا المبلغ هو سبب هذا المبلغ الكبير. لكوني الفرد الوحيد من عائلة عمي المتوفى، ماذا أفعل لأتأكد من أن المبلغ من مدخراته وليس من قروضه البنكية؟ في حال ثبوت أن المبلغ هو مدخراته الخاصة، فهل هناك فرصة لي للحصول على إذن للمطالبة بهذا المبلغ من البنك لاستخدامه من قبل عائلته؟ لديه زوجة و3 أطفال في وطنه. شكرًا جزيلًا مقدمًا.
