Hello, The matter is whether we can file a case against an Ajman-based firm for non-shipment of cargo against the payment made to them. They haven’t delivered the cargo nor returned the amount.

Hello, Two days ago, I bought a used car. But yesterday, I found out that there has been major tampering with the odometer. I have all the necessary proof to provide. Where do I move forward from this?

Dear Lawyers, I have a question regarding an immediate eviction petition to the Urgent Judge. The tenant did not return the apartment on 26 January 2025, despite a 12-month legal notice that ended on 25 January 2025. The tenant rejected all gas and fire prevention maintenance for 12 months. Al-Fanar Gas submitted a report with the tenant's signature and refusal after the tenant broke the gas detector. The apartment was sold, and the new owner gave the tenant 90 days' notice. The tenant refused to show the new owner the apartment and ran away, according to building management. The tenant ignored the 12-month legal notice, did not return the apartment, broke the gas detector, and refused gas and fire detection system maintenance. The deal will be voided if the new owner cannot enter the property promptly. Can I petition the Urgent Matters Judge for quick eviction based on the tenant's violations?

A contractor recently did waterproofing on my townhouse roof and confirmed a warranty of 5 years (on WhatsApp). The payment receipt and invoice are available. In 4 months, water leaks from the roof damaged the false ceiling inside the house. When contacted, he avoids calls and delays by making some excuses. Is there any way I can get my money back?

Good Day! I am a partner in a trading license with two other individuals. Both of them were managing the business together as a cash-based operation without a bank account, while I was working elsewhere as an employee. Now, one of the partners has passed away, and his parents are in conflict with the remaining partner, claiming he owes them money. However, the surviving partner insists that no money is owed and that everything is settled. The license has now expired and cannot be renewed because the deceased partner’s family is not cooperating, leading to fines due to the inability to renew it. Additionally, the remaining partner continues to conduct the same business, occasionally purchasing items under the company name. As I am a low-salaried individual and cannot afford court fees, is there a way to remove myself from this situation, or are there any authorities who can assist me in this matter? I am willing to help and provide whatever is required as evidence in this case. Please advise!

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.

Dear Sir/Madam, There is an employee who has been absent repeatedly. However, the company is not paying salaries on time, with regular delays in salary payments. Can the company terminate the employee without end-of-service or notice period compensation if the employee cites occasional salary delays as the reason for their absences?

If staff did not come back from vacation, after how long can we terminate him/her?

I was married in Abu Dhabi last year at the family court, is my marriage certificate valid in the US?

Regarding the probation period, when is the deadline for an employer to terminate me if the DOJ anniversary is Friday 2nd Feb? Will the six-month period end at midnight on the 1st, therefore completing six months, or can the employer still terminate on the 2nd? Appreciate any guidance provided.

Hello, I recently had an illegal abortion, which landed me in the hospital and involved the Dubai Police. My spouse's and my visa were placed on a ban, and today the prosecution office called me for an appointment. Will I get jailed?

Hi Sir, I am S. and I am facing a one-year labour ban (as per my knowledge, and the same is mentioned in the cancellation paper too). Now I have a new offer with [-----] company in a free zone, but things were not processed because of this ban. They asked me for the immigration clearance. How can I clear this? My previous contract was under a limited term, so even the salary basis is not helping me. From other sites, I came to know it is possible, but I still have no idea how. Can you suggest a solution?

Due to security reasons, my UAE visa was rejected. What do I do?

I am writing to raise a concern regarding the denial of a No Objection Certificate (NOC) by [----] School, Abu Dhabi, where I am currently employed as a Humanities Teacher. Although the school has officially discontinued my contract effective July 7, 2025, and I have not submitted a resignation, they are now refusing to issue an NOC. This is preventing me from accepting an opportunity with another charter school and is obstructing my right to secure alternate employment within the sector. As per my understanding from ADEK and MoHRE guidelines, an NOC cannot be denied when: - There is no non-compete clause in the contract. - The employee has not breached any contractual obligations, and - The termination was employer-initiated without a valid cause. I kindly request your guidance and support in addressing this issue so I may proceed with my job application process without unnecessary obstruction. Sincerely, N.

Hello, I got a judgment from Dubai Court stating that the employer should do my settlement. It’s been years, but I still haven't received the payment in my account. When I checked with Al Adheed Center, they said if the company is not active, it’s not possible to get the money. However, it’s a group of companies, and a few branches are still running. Is there any chance to claim it, or can I appeal directly to the court?

لقد تلقيت مكالمة من الشرطة بالأمس تُفيد بأنه يجب عليّ الحضور اليوم لتقديم إفادة، ولكنهم لم يخبروني ما الأمر. أشعر بالفزع، كل ما أعرفه هو أنني مدين لاتصالات. خلاف ذلك، ليس لدي أي مشاكل هنا.

زوجتي شريكة في شركة مدنية في إمارة دبي. الشركة بها أربعة شركاء. ثلاثة منهم متواجدين خارج البلاد. اشترت الشركة أشياء مقابل 50 ألف درهم ولم يتم سدادها وفي الوقت الحالي هناك قضية مرفوعة ضد الشركة. ما هي المسؤولية التي تقع على عاتق زوجتي؟ إنها ليست مديرة الشركة. ما هي مسؤولية زوجتي تجاه تلك الشركة؟

مرحبًا سودهانشو، أتمنى أن تكون بخير. ما هي حقوقي في حالة تأسيس شركة للتجارة الإلكترونية مخصصة لأغراض التجارة خارج دولة الإمارات؟ 1) هل ما زلت بحاجة إلى الحصول على ترخيص تجاري في دولة الإمارات؟ 2) هل يمكنني تلقي المدفوعات عن طريق بنوك دولة الإمارات مقابل ممارسة الأعمال التجارية الدولية عبر الإنترنت لأنني أقيم في دولة الإمارات وسأبقى هنا لبعض الوقت؟ مع خالص تحياتي، أ.،

مرحبًا، أتمنى أن تكونوا جميعًا بخير خلال هذا الوقت العصيب. لدي سؤال بخصوص الشيكات المرتجعة، وتحديدًا الشيكات الصادرة عن الشركات. لدي شيك بمبلغ 800,000 درهم وقد تم ارتجاعه. طلب صاحب الشركة مهلة شهر لسداد قيمة الشيك. ومع ذلك، أشعر بالقلق من أن يغادر البلاد ولا يفي بالتزاماته. أسئلتي واضحة إلى حد ما: 1) هل أرفع قضية ضد الشخص الذي وقّع الشيكات أم ضد الشركة؟ 1) إذا رفعت قضايا جنائية ومدنية ضد الشركة في الوقت الحالي ولم يكن المالك (الشخص الذي وقّع الشيكات) قادرًا على التسوية بشكل ودي، هل يمكنني إصدار قرار ضده بالمنع من السفر على الرغم من أن القضايا مرفوعة ضد الشركة؟ 2) هل ينطبق قانون الإعسار الجديد اعتبارًا من أواخر عام 2019 أيضًا على الشركات؟ 3) هل يتحمل مالك الشيك المسؤولية بشكل شخصي إذا لم يكن لدى الشركة أصول أو نقود؟

مرحبًا، أود أن أطلب المشورة. ما هي مسؤوليات المدير الإداري الذي لم يرد ذكر اسمه في الترخيص التجاري ولكن لديه توكيل للتصرف بالنيابة عن المالك وتوقيع العقود وإصدار الوثائق والتعامل مع البنوك والسلطات الإماراتية وتقديم الإقرارات الضريبية... وما إلى ذلك؟ إننا نتحدث عن شركة ذات مسؤولية محدودة في إمارة دبي. وهل توصي المديرين والموظفين بتأمين المسؤوليات؟ شكرًا لك على مساعدتك.
