Hello, How can I be exempted from paying the 5% court fee, and where should I go to apply?

Hello, Our customer has gone into liquidation, and we are shipping goods to Saudi Arabia. We have stopped the shipment and requested payment of their outstanding balance.

Hello, I bought an apartment, but the previous landlord is refusing to vacate it. The contract clearly states that the landlord should hand over the apartment on the day of the transfer. Out of courtesy, I gave him three days to vacate so he could find a new place to stay, but the time has passed, and he is still refusing to vacate and hand it over. What should I do in this case?

Hello, What happens if a person does not show up at the first instance of a divorce hearing?

Hello. I went to a very well-known and professional salon (or so I thought) for a normal hair dye. The guy who did my hair left the dye on my hair for over an hour when it was supposed to be on for a maximum of 30 minutes. He wasn’t paying attention to me walking around the store talking to everyone and also doing another customer's extensions. Now my hair is potentially damaged, my skull burns, and is flaky (meaning the dye wasn’t ammonia-free which is extremely unprofessional for such an expensive salon). I didn’t even get the outcome that I wanted and the dye color doesn’t even show. I talked to him about it but he shut it down so fast and gaslit me the whole time and made me feel like I was the wrong one and I was ‘complaining about something so light’. Please let me know what I can do legally about this. Thank you.

Hello, I got an offer letter from another company. I want the immediate cancellation paper before 20th April. I don't have time to submit my notice period registration. What should I do? Please give me the best advice!

Hello, During the notice period, is an employee allowed to take sick leave? If not, can the employer deduct the sick leave from the employee’s end-of-service benefits? Additionally, what is the legal basis for this? Specifically, which law or ministerial decision governs this matter?

Lawyers misunderstood my question. Please read carefully and then guide me. Case Type: Civil Case Claim amount: 400,000 Paid: 65,000 Reason: Commercial agreement of supply Emirate: Ajman This case was registered in 2022. The judgment was in my absence, as notices were sent to the wrong address. I was sent to jail. I made a down payment, bailed, and paid some more amount as installments. The total paid amount is AED 65000. Now, again, an arrest warrant is issued as I did not pay the remaining 335,000 of the claim. According to me, I had to pay only this amount because the executioner made a wrong claim, not as per the genuine claim. So I want to reopen the case file. I want the court to reinvestigate and start the case from scratch. 1) How can I make that request? 2) What documents are required? 3) Chances of reopening of case? 4) Cancellation of arrest warrant Please guide me in detail, as I will do everything myself, as I cannot afford a lawyer right now.

I booked a hotel stay for Eid through a travel agency two weeks before Eid. The travel agency confirmed the booking on payment. One day before Eid, the agency reached out, saying they had an issue with the supplier/hotel and the booking would be cancelled. They offered alternative hotels that didn’t match the original property. I suggested some properties, and they couldn’t arrange them, or they asked for further payment, so I didn’t book anything through them. What are my rights to a refund and compensation, as I had to book other arrangements separately at a significantly higher cost due to the last-minute prices? It also caused significant emotional distress, less than 24 hours before the holiday. To which authority can a complaint be made in case of an unsatisfactory outcome? Both the agency and the hotel are in Dubai.

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.

Hello, I am switching jobs soon. Can my current work visa be canceled if I still have a personal loan and credit cards that I am making payments on?

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.

My relative is staying with his friend. His friend was arrested for drug trading (MDMA). My husband also got arrested, but he is not involved in trading. He is a first-time offender in drug use. He got arrested two months ago and he is in Ajman, Jurf jail. He is asking us to give money to a lawyer to make the court order and release fast. Is it possible? How long will it take for his release and court order? What will be the court order?

Dear lawyers, The new employee will start on June 1, 2025. However, he would like to open a new bank account in the UAE thus asking to provide the salary certificate mentioning his salary in AED and if possible not mentioning the start date. Legally, can the company provide such a certificate?

سيدي/سيدتي، هل يمكن أن أرفع قضية نفقة على زوجي إذا لم أنجب بعد؟ أم عليّ أن أنتظر حتى أنجب الطفل ثم أرفع قضية ضده؟

مرحبًا، منذ عام 2018، كانت هناك قضية شيكات مرفوعة ضدي بقيمة 345,000 درهم إماراتي. أصدرت المحكمة حكمًا علي غيابيًا بالسجن لمدة 18 شهرًا. في الوقت الحالي أقيم في دولة الهند. كيف يمكنني تسوية الحكم باستخدام توكيل؟ وما هي المدة التي سيستغرقها الأمر؟ يجب عليّ العودة إلى دولة الإمارات في أسرع وقت ممكن.

هل من الممكن رفع قضية طلاق ومغادرة البلاد؟ هل يجب علي البقاء داخل دولة الإمارات ما لم يتم إصدار الحكم في قضية الطلاق؟ الإجراءات بطيئة للغاية ولا يمكنني البقاء في دولة الإمارات في الأشهر المقبلة. ما هي الخيارات المتاحة لمتابعة قضية الطلاق وإجراءات المحكمة أثناء التواجد خارج البلاد؟

كنت مديرًا وشريكًا بشركة ذات مسؤولية محدودة، وبحكم وظيفتي بصفتي مديرًا للشركة، وقَّعت شيك ضمان لأحد العملاء بمعاملة تجارية باستخدام دفتر شيكات الشركة، وبعد عامين تركت وظيفتي وانسحبت من الشركة وسلَّمتها لمدير وشريك آخر. حدثت بعد هذا التاريخ خلافات تجارية بين الشركة من ناحية وبين العميل من ناحية أخرى فرفع العميل دعوى مدنية ضدي وضد الشركة. ما موقفي وحجتي القانونية في هذه المشكلة مع العلم أن قيمة الشيك مُثبتَة بالعقد ومُعرَّفة على أنها شيك ضمان وليس وفاء؟ شكرًا لحضراتكم!
