Hello, I submitted an offer and deposit through the trustee office, but the owner rejected it. What is the next step? They sent an email notification stating that if not renewed within the contract's end time, 500 AED will be deducted for each additional day of stay.

I am seeking urgent guidance regarding my current visa status in the UAE. I was previously employed by a company that has now shut down, but my visa is still under that company. During my tenure, I held Power of Attorney (POA) for all financial matters. However, after a cheque issued by the company bounced, the owner revoked my POA without my knowledge. The company officially closed last year, and the owner (a lady) has been missing since the case emerged. No one from the company is responding, and I am currently stuck in Dubai due to a travel ban imposed on me related to this case. I need clarification on the following points: How can I cancel my existing visa under this closed company? Will I be able to obtain a new visa under another company despite the travel ban? Are there any legal blocks or restrictions affecting my visa or employment options? What legal steps can I take to resolve this situation? I would appreciate your guidance on the next steps and any possible solutions.

طاب يومك، علي نزاعات إيجارية وحصلت على خطة تسوية منذ 8 أشهر. لكنني لم أدفع التسوية لأنه في لحظة التقدم بطلب للحصول على خطة التسوية، كان لدي عرض عمل وخسرته بسبب منع السفر ولم أتمكن من معالجة التأشيرة. علي قضية شخصية أخرى لدى الشرطة حيث قمت بالفعل بدفع مبلغ 18000 وكانت المطالبة 40000 درهم. والآن بعد أن لم التوقف عن الدفع، رفع المدعي القضية مرة أخرى. لدي الآن خطاب عرض آخر وأريد الحصول على شهادة مخالصة خلال 48 ساعة، وإلا فقد أفقد هذه الوظيفة أيضًا. برجاء تقديم النصيحة

اشتريت سيارة جديدة من تاجر سيارات [---] وبعد 5 دقائق من استخدام السيارة، ظهر تنبيه. وبعد أقل من 24 ساعة أبلغت البائعين بالمشكلة. بعد جدال معهم حول هذا الموضوع، قمت أخيرًا بإحضار السيارة إلى الصيانة في شركتهم وأكدوا أن الجزء يحتاج إلى تغيير كامل. أخبرتهم أنني لا أستطيع قبول سيارة معيبة والمطالبة باسترداد الأموال أو بمركبة أخرى. حتى الآن لم يكونوا على قدر من التعاون.

سيدي العزيز / سيدتي العزيزة، هناك قضية ضدي في محكمة تجارية ذات اختصاص كامل. آسف إذا كان هناك خطأ في هذا. لم أشارك في القضية، وبناءً على نصيحة محاميي في المملكة المتحدة، لم يتم تمثيلي هناك في دبي. عند التحقق من البوابة، تقول إنه تم التوصل إلى حكم بالأمس، لكن لا يمكنني رؤية المزيد من التفاصيل. لذلك أسئلتي هي: 1) هل تصدر الأحكام خلف أبواب مغلقة أم أمام المحامين؟ (المدعون لديهم محامون) 2) كم من الوقت يستغرق عادة حتى يصبح الحكم علنيًا ولكي أرى نتيجة القضية؟ الشيء الوحيد الذي يُقال على الإنترنت هو كلمة "تم الحكم".

مرحبًا، لقد تم ترحيلي من الإمارات بسبب عدم اللياقة الطبية، ولكن عندما وصلت إلى بلدي، أجريت عدة فحوصات طبية ولكن كل شيء على ما يرام؛ فيروس نقص المناعة البشرية سلبي، لا يوجد التهاب الكبد B، الخ. لا أعلم هل كان هناك خطأ أو سوء حظ بالنسبة لي. أتساءل عما إذا كان بإمكانهم السماح لي بالعودة إلى دبي.

Respected Advisors, I have been involved in a few criminal cases since 2017, but all of them were cleared by this year. I have obtained release letters for all the cases from the public prosecution office through an online portal. Recently, I also received my residence visa. After the visa process was completed, I applied for a PCC online. However, the request was rejected. I contacted the 901 office, and they advised me to visit the CID. I arranged for a power of attorney to be granted along with all the necessary documents to update the system. Twice I was told to come in person, but I am hesitant to do so because of my previous negative experience. Could someone please advise me whether I must go in person or if the person holding the power of attorney can handle the process? Thank you!

Hi, good morning, I’m an Indian residing in the UAE and want to apply for a divorce. My husband and I have been living separately for more than 3 years, and he has been living in India since our separation. We are both Indians and Christians (non-Muslims). We have a son who is 8 years old now. Can you please let me know the divorce procedure if we want to proceed in the UAE, both with and without mutual consent? Additionally, please advise on how to proceed with custody, as my son currently resides with me. Thank you!

A company is registered in a free zone (Dubai South) and had 4 shareholders. But now one of them passed away and the successor is a very old lady, who is not cooperative and will not be able to sign any document at all (and she lives in another country). We have no idea who will be a successor after this old lady and these people will in fact never be interested to do anything with this company. The company is financed and managed by only one shareholder, who is willing to continue. What can be done in this scenario to keep this company and continue operations? How to transfer the shares of the deceased shareholder (buyout, shares transfer)? Is there any court procedure where if no one claims their rights after some time, the shares will automatically be transferred to the company itself or the third parties? Thank you. A.
