Q: My firm (based in the UK) is owed $57,500 for providing materials and event management services for a Dubai-based business called International Premier Tennis League.
They have failed to pay my invoice or any of the individual skilled craftsmen and technicians I recommended they hired to deliver the events which we delivered in December 2016.
What I'd like to do is recover my money and possibly make sure that the business behaviour of the IPTL management team is not repeated (it must be a crime to commit business services to a project without ever having the means to pay for it).
Any help or advice appreciated, please.

كيف يمكن مطالبة العميل بالفواتير غير المدفوعة بعد تقديم كافة الخدمات؟


1
س: أعزائي المحامين،
لديّ عميل قام بتوظيفي لمشروع إنتاج فيلم في عام 2020. لقد دفع سلفًا ولكن أثناء التصوير، تمت إضافة بعض الخدمات الأخرى إلى الوظيفة وكان مدينًا لي بحوالي 7000 دولار أمريكي بعد الانتهاء من التصوير.
ومع ذلك، على الرغم من العديد من محاولات التواصل، رفض أخيرًا تسوية مستحقاتي مشيرًا إلى الأضرار التي لحقت به بسبب العارضات العاملات معنا - وهو أمر لا أساس له من الصحة.
قمت بإحالة القضية إلى وكالة تحصيل ولكن لم تكن هناك نتيجة لأنه لا يرد على أي اتصال. ماذا يجب عليّ أن أفعل؟

المطالبة بالمبالغ المستحقة نظير الخدمات المقدمة

المطالبة بالمبالغ المستحقة مقابل الخدمات المقدمة
مرحبا،
نحن مزودي خدمات فنية وتنظيف. لقد عملنا على تنظيف واجهة شقق الفندقية وقدمنا فاتورتنا في 18 مارس 2018.
طبقًا للعقد بيننا، نتلقى الدفع في غضون 15 يومًا بعد تقديم الفاتورة. لكن هذه المرة نطالبهم منذ انتهاء فترة الـ 15 يومًا في 4 أبريل 2018.
في كل مرة نطلب دفع الفاتورة، يرد قسم الشؤون المالية بأن الشخص المخول له بالتوقيع غير موجود. بالأمس، 28 يوليو، رتبنا لقاءً مع المدير العام الخاص بهم وناقشنا كل شيء معه.
لقد صدمنا المدير العام بقوله: "اذهبوا إلى الشرطة، لن ندفع لكم أي شيء". رددت عليه "لماذا"؟ قال: "الإدارة ليست على استعداد لدفع أي شيء لأي أحد".لدينا عقد معهم، ونسخة من الفاتورة المقدمة وصور لجميع مراحل العمل.
برجاء إبداء المشورة لنا، ماذا نفعل؟
مع التحية،
س. ش. ح.
المدير العام

كيف يمكن لشركة أجنبية المطالبة بدفع مقابل الخدمات المقدمة؟

1
س: مرحبًا سيدتي،
أنا محام من مومباي، بدولة الهند.
استفادت شركة تابعة لمجموعة مقرها في إمارة أبوظبي، بدولة الإمارات من الخدمات المقدمة من شركة مسجلة في الهند (مسجلة كمشروع صغير بموجب قانون تنمية المنشآت الصغيرة والمتوسطة والمتناهية الصغر الهندي) ("العميل").
وبناءً على ذلك، طلبت الشركة العميل الهندية دفع فواتير الخدمات المقدمة. ومع ذلك، تخلفت الشركة التابعة للمجموعة في دولة الإمارات عن دفع قيمة الفواتير. تريد الشركة العميل الهندية رفع قضية في إمارة أبو ظبي، بدولة الإمارات لاسترداد الأموال بموجب الفواتير الصادرة.
هل لي أن أطلب المشورة حول كيف يمكن للشركة العميل الهندية متابعة الإجراءات بموجب القانون الإماراتي؟
أيضًا، هل هناك أي محكمة مختصة بالمؤسسات الصغيرة والمتوسطة في دولة الإمارات للفصل في مثل هذه النزاعات وما إذا كان بإمكان الشركة العميل الهندية المسجلة متابعة الإجراءات بأي شكل من الأشكال من خلال هذه المحكمة المختصة؟

كيف يمكن المطالبة بمبلغ فاتورة من عميل مقيم في الإمارات؟

س: سيدي العزيز / سيدتي العزيزة،
أنا من كينيا. قمنا بتزويد أحد العملاء بالزهور، ومنذ فبراير 2021، لم يدفع إلا مبلغ قليل جدًا من المبلغ المستحق.
كيف يمكنني استرداد أموالي؟ إنه يستمر في إعطاء الوعود الفارغة.

المطالبة بالرسوم من وكيل بناءً على اتفاقية شفهية ومعاملات على الواتساب
0
س: مرحبًا أيها السادة،
لدي وكالة سفر مقرها في أبوظبي ولدي وكيلة فرعية (وكالة سفر) لم تدفع لي التأشيرات الصادرة تحت مسؤوليتها. ليس لدينا سوى اتفاق شفهي ومعاملات عبر الواتساب.
اتفقنا على أنها ستدفع بعد كل 5 أيام مقابل كل تأشيرة يتم إصدارها. لقد مر 15 يومًا وما زالت لا تريد الدفع وتقول إن عملائها لم يدفعوا بعد.
يبدو أنهم يضعون علينا عبء عدم سداد عملائهم، وهو ما لا ينبغي أن يكون عليه الحال. إنها لا تستقبل مكالماتنا أو رسائلنا وتغضب عندما نطلب الدفع. يبدو أن كل يوم هو فترة سماح.
يرجى إعلامنا إذا كان هناك أي طريقة يمكنني من خلالها مطالبتهم بالمبلغ وإجبارهم على الدفع لنا في أقرب وقت ممكن.
حتى أنهم استمروا في ممارسة الأعمال التجارية من خلال موردين آخرين وتركونا نلاحقهم.

How to recover unpaid funds from a guest who left without paying?



1
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
We are a registered company that provides accommodation in Dubai. One of our guests partially paid for his stay and claimed to have an issue with the bank.
He promised to pay the remaining amount before departure, but left the property without informing us and left an unpaid bill of 6000 AED.
After departure, the guest apologized for the delay in payment and assured us that it would be paid shortly. However, the payment has not been made yet.
It has been over a month now, and the guest continues to acknowledge the debt and promises to pay as soon as he has funds (there is proof of this through multiple messages).
The Dubai police have informed us that they cannot assist with this type of claim.
Please advise on the best course of action and whether there is a chance to recover the unpaid funds.

Our company provided services to a hotel in Dubai and did not get paid. How to claim the amount?



2
Q: Hi,
We are a company in Dubai specializing in floral decoration projects.
In Ramadan 2023, we did a project for a hotel in Dubai and at that time, it was discussed that half payment will be done after the project gets finished.
But it's been more than 2 months and we haven't got the payment yet. We have all the legal LPOs and emails from them. Now, they won't receive calls or reply to emails.
When we send the team to the hotel, the security won't allow us to go inside. Is there any legal way to deal with this?
Please help.

We performed services as the official channel partner for a free zone that did not pay our commission. What to do?




0
Q: Hello everyone,
I’m seeking professional legal opinions regarding an ongoing dispute we are facing with a free zone authority in the UAE.
We are an official channel partner for the Free Zone and have generated several clients and successful business registrations through our efforts.
Despite fulfilling our responsibilities as per the agreement, the Free Zone has not released our due commission.
It's been several months now, and we've experienced repeated delays, vague justifications, and non-committal responses from their end. It appears they are intentionally using delaying tactics.
We are exploring our legal options now and would appreciate guidance on the following:
What legal steps can be taken in such a case in the UAE?
Is this considered a breach of contract or unfair commercial practice?
Would it be advisable to send a legal notice first, or directly approach the relevant dispute resolution authority?

The public prosecution appealed a judgment to increase the fine I already paid. What do I do now? 0
Good afternoon,
Thank you for your time.
The public prosecution appealed my judgment (a fine that I satisfactorily cleared) and requested increasing the fine.
Can you please explain what happens during a criminal case appeal hearing for me as a defendant?
Will I be asked questions?
Is the hearing just for the Public Prosecution to present their appeal to the judge, and I do not need to give a response?
Thank you again for your time.
