س: لقد أقرضت المال لصديقي عدة مرات خلال العام الماضي وأخذت شيكات كضمان. لسوء الحظ، انتهت صلاحية الشيك منذ يومين ولم يدفع 90% من المال لأنه قال إنه لم يعد لديه أموال. لدي كشف حساب بنكي يثبت التحويل لحسابه. أحتاج إلى نصيحتك لمعرفة ما إذا كان بإمكاني رفع قضية ضده وما هي الإجراءات التي ستتبعها. شكرًا لك.

س: السادة الأفاضل، أعطيت أحد أصدقائي 35000 درهم إماراتي لتأسيس عمله في دبي. مر عام تقريبًا ولم يرد أموالي. أعطيته المال عن طريق شيكات، لكننا لم نوقع على أي اتفاق.

س: السادة المحترمون، دخلت في مشروع تجاري مع زميلي في العمل، ولكن لم يكن بيننا سوى عقد شفوي. أعطيته 100 ألف ريال قطري، لكنه كذب وقال إنه كان يرسل الأموال إلى والدته من أجل مشروع إقراض. للأسف، استثمرها بالفعل في عملية تسويق هرمي. هل لدي فرصة للفوز بالقضية وإلزامه بسداد المبلغ المتبقي وهو 66 ألف ريال قطري؟ دليلي الوحيد رسائل واتساب وبيانات المعاملات المصرفية التي تثبت أنني أرسلت له الأموال وبيانات معاملاته المصرفية التي تثبت أنه أرسل الأموال إلى حسابي. ماذا يجب أن أفعل الآن؟

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, I lent Dh35,000 to a friend in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic when he was under financial stress. Now, when I ask him to repay the loan, he either does not pick up my calls or tells me that he is still not in a position to return the money. I also have a husband and the money is important to me. What can I do to get my money back? I have WhatsApp conversations and some remittance receipts from when he asked me for the money. I paid him in cash. Can I file a police complaint? Is there any other way to get my money back? I don't want to get him in trouble, but I also really need him to return my money. What should I do?

Q: Hi, I had loaned money to a friend a few years ago, and he promised to return it as soon as possible. It has been more than two years, and I have not received the money yet. I have a blank check that he gave me as security, and it is not dated. I want to know if there is a legal way to get my money back. If I deposit the check in the bank and it bounces, or if he has closed his bank account, what will the consequences be?

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, What legal action can be taken to recover everything my boyfriend owes me? He is also physically and verbally abusing me.

Q: Hello! I got scammed by my friend. She asked me to give her money, promising to return it, but when I asked for my money, she refused to give it back. There’s no contact between us except for WhatsApp messages, and I transferred the money to her via bank (I have the bank receipts). A few days later, I discovered that she scams many people like this, including her colleagues. She claims that she’s broke but uses this money in stock trading. Everyone is afraid to come forward because they don’t want to spend money on a case they believe they will never win. People around me told me that without a written agreement, I can’t go to court because I will definitely lose. They said, “You don’t have any solid evidence.” However, I have WhatsApp messages and know three people whom she scammed and took thousands from. What do you advise me to do? Should I go to court, or should I let it go because I’ll never win?

We're seeing a significant change in the way we do business. The development of artificial intelligence (AI) is speeding up the transition to a more automated and digital future. This change is especially noticeable in transactions and contracts. Businesses of all sizes should consider e-contracts and digital transactions, as they can improve efficiency, streamline processes, and eventually open up new growth opportunities.
