7 متاح 7 • عرض الجميعCivil claim against a contractor for delay in house renovation

6
Q: Hello,
My husband and I awarded one of Dubai's contractors to do renovation in our apartment. We paid him 50% in advance according to the contract signed between us.
We paid another 20% after some time in response to his request to have an additional amount to buy the materials.
The renovation was supposed to be completed in one month, yet, 2 months and a half already passed and the contractor has not even bought the material he promised (tiles, sanitary-ware... etc.).
He promises but not delivering, postponing payments in all possible ways. Suppliers of the materials confirmed that payments had not been made by the contractor.
We have a clause of damage liquidating (contractor needs to pay 1000 AED/day), but he doesn't seem to take it seriously.
What is the best way to deal with this problem?
If we take him to court, how much do we need to pay for the file opening?
What damages he will experience - license termination?
How quick can we have the money back?
BR, J.

Filing civil case to recover security cheque for unjust enrichment
1
Q: I have signed a contract with a contractor to carry out AC works where the owner of the company has paid me cash with a payment voucher and he asked to provide a security deposit cheque.
My scope of work was supposed to be finished in 45 days but delayed due to civil works for more than 4 months, in the interim we have continued to work and finished the works and started the equipment.
Our final bill is linked with authority approvals which cannot be accomplished without civil works. I have asked the contractor to pay the VAT and amount for variation which he failed to do so.
After 4 months the contractor called to resume the works where I have rejected as he failed to fulfil the contractual obligations. I've written a letter to the owner that I will take legal action if he misuses the cheque.
The owner deposited my security cheque and filed a case. If I file a civil case against the owner, am I entitled to get losses incurred due to damaging my relation with the bank and other legal expenses?

أداء الالتزام التعاقدي والتأخير في الإجراءات
2
س: أوقف المقاول من الباطن العمل مستندًا في ذلك إلى المادتين 246 و 247 من القانون المدني الإماراتي بسبب تأخر المقاول الرئيسي في السداد (الدفع المسبق والمدفوعات المؤقتة).
لكن ما يشغل اهتمام المقاول الرئيسي هو أنه لم يستلم المستند المطلوب (وهو ضمان البنك القدم) لمعالجة الدفعة المقدمة في الوقت المحدد ولم يتم الاتفاق على مسودة خطاب الاعتماد الذي تم إصداره إلى المقاول من الباطن في الوقت المحدد نظرًا لوجود العديد من الخلافات حول بعض ما فيه.
دفع المقاول الرئيسي الدفعة المقدمة إلى المقاول من الباطن في غضون 90 يومًا من استلام ضمان البنك المقدم مرجعًا سبب التأخير إلى إعادة تخصيص المال بسبب التأخير في تقديم الضمان البنكي المقدم واتفاقية مسودة خطاب الاعتماد.
إذا أراد المقاول الرئيسي فرض عقوبة بسبب التأخير من قبل المقاول من الباطن، فمن الذي حجته ستؤخذ في الحسبان؟
يرجى تقديم النصيحة.
شكرًا لك.

خرق العقد مع المطور العقاري ورفع قضية بسبب التأخير في التسليم



1
س: عزيزي المحامي،
إننا 18 مالك لدينا أرض تبلغ مساحتها 200 ياردة، أبرم كلٍ منا اتفاقية بناء مع مطور عقاري في 02/2014.
وكانت الشروط تنص على أن المطور العقاري يمكنه ضمن حصته 50:50 بناء الشقق وبيعها. ولكن مع تقديم معدل تراكمي تم الحصول عليه بالاحتيال، لقد مر 18 شهرًا وفترة سماح مدتها ستة أشهر على الموعد المقرر لاستكمال البناء وتسليم الشقق مفروشة بالكامل.
في حالة التأخير، يجب دفع إيجار قيمته 6000 في الشهر وثلاثة الآف وديعة قابلة للاسترداد لكل مالك وحدة.
لم يسلم المطور العقاري الشقق (60٪ مبنية) ولم يدفع الإيجار أو الوديعة التي تبلغ قيمتها ثلاثة الآف. عدادات الكهرباء باسمنا وكلنا ندفع الحد الأدنى من الرسوم.
لا يرد المطور العقاري على مكالماتنا الهاتفية ولا يحضر الاجتماعات كلما طلبنا منه ذلك. لقد باع المطور العقاري حصته من الشقق.
يرجى تقديم المشورة بشأن الخيار الأفضل بالنسبة لنا.
ل.

ما الذي يجب القيام به حال مخالفة المقاول لعقد تجديدات لشقة؟
3
س: سيدي العزيز / سيدتي العزيزة،
لقد قمت بتعيين مقاول عام للمساعدة في تجديد شقتي. لقد مضى الآن أكثر من 4 أشهر. لدي مشاكل كبيرة في الحمامات (تسريبات، تركيب غير صحيح). بالإضافة إلى ذلك، فقد استخدم مواد رخيصة الثمن ومخدوشة وذات مظهر بشع.
أخيرًا، لدي قائمة طويلة من العناصر التي لم تكتمل بعد. لقد وعد طوال الأسابيع الثلاثة الماضية بأن شخصًا ما سيأتي للمراجعة والتصحيح ولكن لم يأت أحد وكل يوم لديه عذر جديد.
لقد دفعت له 90% من المال لأنه تحدث بطريقة جيدة. وأرحب ببعض النصائح بشأن أفضل مسار للعمل للمضي قدمًا.

Dealing with a pool contractor who used faulty materials causing leak?

1
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
I am looking for some advice.
Twelve months ago, we hired a contractor to install a concrete pool. To date, we haven't been able to use the pool due to a leak. They keep trying to "fix" it, but I have no confidence in them anymore.
Last week, another contractor came to the villa to look at it testing some of the fittings that I thought could be the reason. He removed some of the fittings and gave me a gut-wrenching comment.
The concrete used for the pool is, in his opinion, "not good."
What course of action can I take now?
I obviously need to get the pool fixed, but I'm assuming the contractor won't accept liability.
Can I involve the DM (Department of Municipality)?

Canceling my MoU and getting my deposit back due to a low bank valuation and overpriced property 0
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.

عرض الجميعIs a bounced rent cheque case considered a criminal record for U.S. visa applications? 0
Hello,
My rent cheque was bounced, and my landlord filed a case against me in Sharjah Court. I received a fine of 2,000 AED, which was later reduced to 1,000 AED upon appeal.
Does this case count as a criminal conviction under UAE law, or was it handled as a civil matter?
If I apply for a U.S. visa, will I need to submit court records under the requirement for applicants with past convictions?

How can I renew my Ejari if the landlord hasn’t signed the new contract? 0
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.

عرض الجميعHow to take a legal action after being scammed by an individual and a corrupt lawyer? 0
Hello,
We have been scammed by an individual who did not provide the stated service. They took a lot of money and important documents. I have audio recordings of him talking about these things.
We had a bad lawyer in Iraq who stole property by forging documents. This man said he had many connections to help us. While it was true that he had connections, he didn’t actually help us.
Instead, he cooperated with the bad lawyer, agreed with him, and gave the bad lawyer all our important documents.

How can I recover my money with a hold on my account due to a remitting bank request? 0
Hello experts,
I have a hold on my bank account even though I have shared all the requested documents with the bank proving that the money belongs to me. However, they keep insisting that the remitting bank requested a recall.
Today, I received a notice of account closure from my bank. When I inquired about the amount on hold, I was informed that only the available balance will be issued via a manager's check.
The issue has been ongoing for almost 5 months now. Any advice on how to get my money back, please?
