منع المضايقات الصادرة عن زميلة سابقة
س: مرحبًا،
لديّ قضية تحرش ومضايقة قائمة مع زميلة سابقة.
حيث أنها أنشأت حسابات مزيفة على موقع التواصل الاجتماعي فيس بوك وأرسلت رسائل إلى عائلتي وأصدقائي تتهمني فيها بالزنا وتهددني.
في ذلك الوقت، لم أكن أعرف من هي لأن جميع الحسابات كانت مزورة، على كل حال، لقد أرسلت بالأمس طردًا إلى عائلتي يتضمن صوري ورسائل تطبيق الواتس آب الخاصة بي واتهامات ضدي.
كما أنها كانت ترسل لي رسائل بريد إلكتروني مسيئة لعدة أشهر، تضمنت تهديدات لي ولعائلتي بالتشهير، لكنني لم أرد على هذه الرسائل. لقد تواصلت أيضًا مع صاحب العمل مدّعية أنها زوجتي، وطلبت منه الحصول على سجلات الموارد البشرية الخاصة بي. لقد اضطررت إلى ترك وظيفتي بسبب الإحراج الذي تعرضت له.
لقد قررت إبلاغ الشرطة عنها، ولكن بسبب التزامات العمل، إنني متواجد في المملكة المتحدة ولن أعود إلا في شهر يناير. نصحتني الشرطة بالعودة ورفع قضية ضدها. أريد الحصول على خدمتين:
1. إرسال مذكرة إيقاف وإشعار "كف وتوقف" إلى الشخص الذي يتحرش بي للتوقف عن أفعاله.
2. تمثيلي أثناء وجودي خارج البلاد لمتابعة هذه القضية.

How to address a damaging Google review and online defamation?
Q: Hi,
We own a small pet shop business in Dubai, and a customer posted an extremely damaging Google review, advising people not to use our services.
She was initially very pleased after her dog was groomed, paid for the service, and even thanked the groomer for the excellent job—all of which we have on CCTV.
However, a few days later, she posted a terrible review, shouted at our staff, left a threatening voicemail, and declared online that no one should use our services.
What action can we take against her as this is so damaging to a small business in a small community?
Thank you in advance for any advice!

عرض الجميعHow can I reverse the Bitcoin scam transation if I just lost everything in a flash loan attack?
DeFi was going to be the future of finance, open, trustless, unstoppable. I was completely on board, planting yields like some kind of digital Johnny Appleseed.
My collateral secured with Bitcoin was humming along on my favorite lending platform, earning me passive income while I slept. In came the flash loan attack.
One moment, I had six figures securely staked; the next, my positions were liquidated at the speed of regret. My loans, my collateral, my well-thought-out portfolio, poof.
Panic came faster than an Ethereum gas spike. I scanned Twitter, hoping it was FUD. Not a chance. Smart contract compromised. Funds stolen. The protocol team acted swiftly to do something, but damage was already done.

Is a bounced rent cheque case considered a criminal record for U.S. visa applications?
Hello,
My rent cheque was bounced, and my landlord filed a case against me in Sharjah Court. I received a fine of 2,000 AED, which was later reduced to 1,000 AED upon appeal.
Does this case count as a criminal conviction under UAE law, or was it handled as a civil matter?
If I apply for a U.S. visa, will I need to submit court records under the requirement for applicants with past convictions?

I booked a hotel stay for Eid through a travel agency and it was canceled two days before Eid. What to do?
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.

عرض الجميعI purchased a rented apartment in Abu Dhabi. Can I evict the tenant immediately if there is no Tawtheeq contact?
I recently purchased a rented apartment in Abu Dhabi and agreed to honor the existing lease. After the transfer, I discovered that the lease is not a Tawtheeq contract, meaning it is not officially registered.
Since I am not receiving rent (as it was a non-refundable arrangement with the seller), I prefer not to issue a new Tawtheeq. I also want to avoid a formal notice to vacate to prevent disputes, as I plan to move in.
However, I have already informed the tenant that I will not be renewing the lease. I need legal advice on the implications of proceeding without a Tawtheeq contract.
What are my risks, especially if the tenant refuses to move out?
What legal actions, if any, can the tenant take in this situation?

I was evicted from my apartment to be sold but it was gifted and rented at a higher price. What can I do?
I was evicted from my apartment after living there for five years. My landlord informed me a year in advance that the lease would not be renewed because he intended to sell the property.
Prior to this, he attempted to impose a rent increase that was not compliant with RERA regulations, which I refused to accept. He then served me with an official Dubai Court eviction notice, citing the need to take back the property for sale.
Five months after I moved out, I discovered the property was rented out at a much higher price. Upon further investigation, I found that the ownership was transferred as a "Gift" rather than a sale.
This makes it seem like the eviction was only to raise the rent rather than a genuine need to sell.
Do I have a valid case for wrongful eviction against my landlord?
Also, under Dubai law, does transferring ownership as a "Gift" hold the same legal grounds as selling in justifying eviction?

What to do if you get terminated and denied gratuity for a minor mistake?
My brother has been working for a company for 11 years. In the last 3 weeks, he had an incident/accident and scratched a plane since he only had 1 person to assist him as the company was not hiring enough people.
Senior staff like him are working more to train inexperienced new hires which adds to their workload working almost 12 hours/day including travel to DWC.
The pilot said it was aesthetic and could be painted over but a police investigation ensued. Last week 3 managers and HR talked him down as the investigation concluded.
He was terminated immediately with only this month's pay and his 11-year gratuity will not be given by the company. It was not gross negligence or malicious intent, he just didn’t have enough people to help him.
He owned up to the mistake and reported the incident within 24 hours. Can he fight for the gratuity?
