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 have a tenant who defaulted on rent payment. His cheque bounced due to account closure. He promised cash payment but hasn't delivered. I want to evict him. The property is in Dubai. How do I proceed legally? Appreciate step-by-step guidance according to the law. Thank you!

Salam, I received an email from a company in the UAE - which is a collection agency - informing me that I had a travel ban and arrest warrant issued in the UAE for an unpaid loan a week ago. I currently live in the US. I have sent them many emails asking them how can I pay or make installments to settle this amount of 332,430 dirhams. I am currently working with them and trying to resolve the issue. My question is I would like to know if I travel for 5 days to Doha, Qatar in May, will I be detained or I will be ok? I don’t believe so I just want to be sure because I will be with my family. Thank you again.

Is it legal for debt collectors to contact the employee's workplace when you have defaulted on your payment?

My company engaged a Dubai-based entity, registered in India, on a three-month contract for project upgrade, maintenance, and delivery. Then they ceased communication 2 weeks before completion and failed to deliver the promised services after payment. What legal recourse should my company pursue? What specific legal expertise or counsel should we seek to address this breach of contract?

Hi, My husband lost his job 6 years back and he has not been able to find a job. He got a loan from a bank and they filed a civil case. We also came to know he has a standing warrant of arrest. I want to know what I can do for him. Should my husband go to Dubai Courts and check what he can do to settle the case or they will arrest him immediately? Should I go on his behalf and check what steps we can take to settle this case? Thank you in advance for your legal advice.

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!

My father died recently. We are Muslim residents in Dubai. I have siblings including a minor who is 16 years old. My father has land and vehicles under his name. If I am applying for inheritance, does the minor need to have a share in ALL the properties and vehicles or can she be given a particular property/vehicle? Secondly, if we want the land to be in her name, and she manages it (like renting and bank), does it require an adult? Can the vehicles be transferred to someone else’s name without including her? Your guidance will be very much appreciated.

سيدي/سيدتي العزيز/ة، لقد فُصلتُ تعسفيًا (إنه أمر شخصي من جانبهم) ولم أحصل إلا على راتب شهرين بالإضافة إلى مكافأة نهاية الخدمة الإلزامية ومكافأة إشعار الفصل. أرغب في المطالبة بأكثر من شهرين بصفتي مديرًا تنفيذيًا كبيرًا. ما هو الحد الأقصى للمبلغ الذي يجب أن أطالب به، وهل سيكون هذا المبلغ معقولًا لأحصل عليه؟

تم رفع دعوى قضائية ضد موظف فشل في المشاركة في حدث دولي في المملكة العربية السعودية بسبب مشكلة عائلية نتج عنها حظر سفر، مما أدى بدوره إلى عدم توقيع صفقة بقيمة 100000 درهم إماراتي مما أدى إلى خسارة للشركة. - ما هي الأسباب القانونية التي تسمح لصاحب العمل بمقاضاة الموظف في هذا السيناريو؟ - هل يوفر قانون العمل الإماراتي أي إرشادات أو علاجات محددة لمثل هذه المواقف؟ - ما هي النتائج أو العلاجات المرجوة التي يمكن لصاحب العمل السعي إليها من خلال الإجراء القانوني؟ - هل هناك أي عواقب أو مسؤوليات قانونية محتملة لصاحب العمل في متابعة هذه القضية؟ - ما هي الوثائق والأدلة اللازمة لدعم قضية صاحب العمل؟

سيدي/سيدتي العزيزة، ما هي الكلفة لفتح ملف تنفيذ في الشارقة لقضية طلاق وكم من الوقت سيستغرق تنفيذ أمر المحكمة؟ أخبر زوجي المحكمة أنه لا يملك المال لدفع نفقتي ونفقة ابنتي لأنه يكسب مبلغًا أدنى لا يستطيع العيش إلا به. في هذه الحالة، ماذا يمكنني أن أفعل؟ لقد أغلق جميع حساباته المصرفية وأرسل الأموال إلى والديه في الهند. كما أخبرني أنه سيثبت في المحكمة أنه ليس لديه وظيفة أو مال، وبالتالي لا تستطيع المحكمة أو الشرطة فعل أي شيء له. هل يمكنك من فضلك أن توجهني بشأن ما يمكنني فعله في هذه الحالة؟ ليس لدي أي دليل على راتبه أو حسابه المصرفي لأنه لم يخبرني بأي شيء يتعلق بأموره المالية. في الواقع، كان يجبرني على مطالبة والديّ بإرسال الأموال إلينا. وبسبب عدم وجود دليل، وافقت المحكمة على رأيه ورفضت استئنافي. ليس لدي عمل وأعاني من مصاريف أساسية. هل يمكنني أن أطلب من المحكمة الاستفسار عن مكافأة نهاية الخدمة ونهاية الخدمة؟ أو هل يمكن للمحكمة أن تطلب منه تقديم إثبات للمال الذي حصل عليه من شركته، حيث كان يعمل لمدة 30 عامًا في نفس الشركة؟
