3
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
I have a cheque bounce civil case in Dubai due to an unpaid loan from a bank. This same bank had filed a case two years ago, but the case was removed due to a new rule.
Now, they have filed a new case with a travel ban as well. I am required to pay the entire amount of 100,000 AED in one shot or installments to the bank to settle the case as per the court.
Can I file an objection or contest this judgment? If so, what will be the most likely outcome?

إمكانية تخفيض القرض البنكي المستحق عند التسوية


2
س: مرحبًا،
لقد غادرت دولة الإمارات منذ أكثر من عام بعد أن فقدت وظيفتي وتركت ورائي مبلغًا معلقًا قدره 400 ألف درهم إماراتي من قرض شخصي في أحد البنوك (هناك قضية شرطة مرفوعة ضدي ولديّ حظر بالفعل)، بكل تأكيد.
في الوقت الحالي، إن قيمة الحساب الفعلي أصبحت أعلى بسبب الرسوم. ومع ذلك، قيل لي أن البنوك قد تنظر في تسوية المسألة مقابل الحصول على مبالغ أقل من المبالغ المعلقة.
لذلك، أتساءل عما إذا كان هناك أي شخص لديه خبرة في التفاوض على هذه الديون المصرفية في دولة الإمارات، وعما إذا كانت هذه المعلومات أو الاحتمالات صحيحة.
شكرًا لك مقدمًا على وقتك ودعمك.

How to restructure my outstanding loan with the bank that doubled the debt amount?




2
Q: I requested the bank to restructure the outstanding loan for an extended period, with the remaining amount being AED 150,000.
The bank informed me that the new term would be 48 months, but I later received an agreement for 72 months. Upon noticing the discrepancy, I declined the offer, and as a result of the dispute, the bank filed a criminal case against me.
I paid the fine and resolved the issue with the court. Now, after 7 years, they have initiated a cheque execution case for AED 300,000 with a travel ban.
I have an email from the bank stating that the liability is only after the case has been filed AED 150,000. The signature on the cheque is mine, the rest of the details were filled in by the bank, including the total amount of the monthly dues for 72 months.
How can I proceed in this case?
I intend to request an installment option for the original amount of AED 150,000, without any applicable interest discounts as mentioned on the cheque and the case value.

What is my remedy on this matter?
Thank you.

إن إدارة الشؤون المالية للفرد أمر بالغ الأهمية، ويجب الأخذ في الاعتبار جميع الأحداث أثناء التقيد بالتزام مالي. سواء كان فقدان الوظيفة هو الذي أدى إلى الإخفاق المالي أو العكس، فيجب أن يكون المرء على دراية بالمسؤولية الشخصية التي لن تتلاشى من خلال دفع الغرامات في قضايا الشيكات المرتجعة. هناك نوعان رئيسيان من المسؤوليات، وهما المسؤولية الجنائية والمسؤولية المدنية. لكل منها أهميته الخاصة، وبالتالي، يجب التعامل مع كلا النوعين تبعًا لذلك.

Good Day,
As someone unfamiliar with local laws and a non-Arabic speaker, the police took my statement but did not provide a translation and told me to sign. I have no idea what they wrote or presented in the case.
The case is now with the Public Prosecution. What should I do to ensure the authorities are aware of this?

We performed services as the official channel partner for a free zone that did not pay our commission. What to do? 0
Hello everyone,
I’m seeking professional legal opinions regarding an ongoing dispute we are facing with a free zone authority in the UAE.
We are an official channel partner for the Free Zone and have generated several clients and successful business registrations through our efforts.
Despite fulfilling our responsibilities as per the agreement, the Free Zone has not released our due commission.
It's been several months now, and we've experienced repeated delays, vague justifications, and non-committal responses from their end. It appears they are intentionally using delaying tactics.
We are exploring our legal options now and would appreciate guidance on the following:
What legal steps can be taken in such a case in the UAE?
Is this considered a breach of contract or unfair commercial practice?
Would it be advisable to send a legal notice first, or directly approach the relevant dispute resolution authority?

I bought a property and the seller sent the tenant an eviction notice but he refuses to leave. What to do? 0
I bought an investment property last year on the condition that the landlord serve the 12-month notice specifically for the purpose of selling the unit and gave the tenant the notice.
The landlord sent a court notice of 12 months for selling the property which was sold to me.
Plus at the time of renewing the lease with the new landlord (myself) during these 12 months. It was mentioned in the contract that the landlord will not renew.
It was also mentioned that the validity of the contract is until the date of court notice.
The landlord sold the property as per the notice.
The tenant got their 12 months. Now the tenant is refusing.

Is a 3-month notice for non-renewal of our warehouse lease valid? 1
Hello,
We would like to ask for legal advice. Our company is currently renting a warehouse, and our contract ends in June. We have just received an email from the landlord stating that they do not wish to renew our contract once it expires.
Please note that we were informed through a regular email, not via an Emirates Post registered email or Dubai Courts. They mentioned that they will use the warehouse for their own purposes.
May I know if this is allowed, considering we were given only three months' notice?
As I understand, a one-year notice is required for eviction. Does our case fall under eviction?
I look forward to your response, as we would like to explore our options.

عرض الجميعA hair salon caused serious damage to my hair and scalp. What can I do to sue them? 0
I’m looking for legal advice regarding a hair salon incident that caused serious damage to my hair and scalp.
I visited a salon for a colouring treatment, during which two rounds of bleach, which is not what I booked in for, were given to me without proper approvals, and were applied back-to-back without a strand test or proper consultation.
As a result, I’ve been experiencing extreme hair breakage, daily hair loss, and ongoing scalp irritation. This has been especially distressing as I’m currently pregnant.
It’s now been over 20 days since the incident, and despite multiple polite follow-ups, the salon has ignored all communication.
I’m now exploring legal action to pursue compensation for the physical and emotional distress caused. I have full documentation, messages, and photos.
Any guidance on the best next steps or legal routes I can take would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

What can I do if the landlord has not been responding to renew the commercial lease contract and Ejari? 0
Good day.
For the last 3 years, the landlord's office has not responded to renew the contract, so I contacted RERA for renewal.
The office doesn't respond to emails related to renewal, even though I started sending emails and reminders 2 to 3 months before expiry, and I have no choice but to contact RERA and send a notice.
Once the renewal was processed by law, the landlord's office delayed in releasing the Ejari. Since it is a commercial property, my renewals are related to a staff visa, and I have to pay delay penalties.
The landlord's office staff tried to take advantage of the Emirati owner, and no direct meeting was fruitful.
What is the law that safeguards expats and sorts out issues without mutual compromise as they try to force their terms to be acceptable by law and not supported by any documentation?
