I recently joined a new organization in the Hamriyah Free Zone, and my previous organization has not released my end-of-service benefits. The HR has instructed the finance team not to do so because I had contacted one of their clients. In my DMCC contract, there is no Non-Compete clause, but the offer letter has one, and now they are not releasing the end-of-service. Is this legal? What are my rights?

Hello, I have multiple cheque execution cases filed against me due to financial strains last year. My trade license and visa will expire next month, along with my Emirates ID.

I look forward to your response. Thanks.

السلام عليكم، في محاكم دبي بعد قيام الخبير المنتدب بتسليم تقريره للمحكمة وبعد يوم عمل فقط، قامت المحكمة بسداد أمانة الخبرة للخبير، لكن المدعي يرغب في تقديم شكوى ضده ومطالبة المحكمة بانتداب خبير آخر لإخلاله بضوابط الخبرة. هل بإمكان المدعي فعل ذلك رغم استلام الخبير مستحقاته المادية؟ وهل عادة المحكمة أن تصرف مستحقات الخبير بمجرد تسليمه للتقرير دون انتظار أي تعقيب من أي طرف خصوصًا أن موعد الجلسة القادمة لم يأتِ بعد؟

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!
