Q: Hi Sir/ma'am,
I just want to ask if I can leave my boss even though I haven't finished my contract here.
I've only been here for a year and one month, but I just want to go back to my country because I don't want to work for them anymore.
Will I get in trouble if I leave even though I bought my ticket back to my country?

Claiming financial rights from a school upon termination 
Q: I was a teacher in a private school.
After two years of service, they terminated me and didn't give me the salaries of 4 months.
Now, after 3 months of the termination, they're giving me the salaries after deduction of esi and without the payment of 10 cl as they promised.
What should I do?

I am a pregnant teacher and need to travel back home before the end of my contract. How can I do this?
Q: I am a married pregnant teacher, with a renewed contract starting next August 2025 and running until August 2026.
The school suddenly stated I was not meeting their standard of lesson delivery - and I recognize it - so they said they would review my renewed contract.
After stating my case to my principal and my concerns as a mom-to-be, they asked me whether I wanted to stay or not next year to see what they could offer me.
The truth is I do not want to stay, as it will be an inspection year, I will be absent for 3 to 4 months to have the baby and I do not want the pressure of when I go back.
However, the implication is that I would have to fly home to South America by the end of my current contract (August 2025) which will be impossible on my 37-38 pregnancy week.
It seems I have to break my current contract to fly home earlier but I am afraid this will leave them free of the responsibility of giving me partial maternity benefits.
I am not sure what to do.

عرض الجميعWhat can I do if the landlord has not been responding to renew the commercial lease contract and Ejari?
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?

How can we find out why the Abu Dhabi court is deducting my husband’s salary?
Hello,
My husband's salary is automatically debited by the Abu Dhabi court as per the bank statements.
However, we do not know exactly what case has been filed against him, and we also do not know the total amount we need to pay; they are just debiting it.
Could someone please advise us on what we should do?

Can I sue overseas app developers for misconduct and website deletion?
Hello,
I want to create a legal case against my mobile app developers who sabotaged my business and mobile apps, failed to deliver a good product, and, despite that, had the audacity to ask for a bonus.
When I refused, they deleted my websites twice (two different projects and sites, with months between each incident). I want to pursue legal action with someone experienced in technology-related cases. The developers are freelancers hired via an online marketplace for freelancers (Upwork).
Everything is legally documented, including WhatsApp messages clearly showing evidence of their sabotage, as well as some logs from GoDaddy related to the web and app development.
Thank you!

My wife got her maternity leave after she gave birth prematurely. Can her company pay her only half a salary?
My wife was pregnant and gave birth in the first week of her seventh month.
The company she works for refused to give her leave when she requested it before giving birth, claiming that work required it and that she was still in her sixth month.
Now the company she works for is refusing to pay her full salary and is offering to pay only half her salary.
Do they have the right to do this?
What are my wife's rights with the company she works for, and how can we demand them?

عرض الجميعCan I be convicted of driving under the influence even if the alcohol test came back negative?
Hello,
I was driving my car when the police stopped me at one point on the road and told me that I was driving under the influence of alcohol.
I tried hard to deny that because I had not actually consumed any alcoholic beverages that day or in the previous three days.
However, a report was filed and a case was opened, but the alcohol test report came back negative. Will I be convicted despite that?
Please answer me. It is urgent.

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?

Can we legally claim unpaid dues for food supplies based on emails and invoices?
Hello,
We have an agreement with a company to supply food for their buffet on a daily basis, with invoices to be issued monthly and payment to be made every three months.
The relationship actually lasted for nine months, and payment was made for two periods. In the third period, due to disagreements between our company and the company to which the supply was made, they refused to pay, noting that the outstanding amount so far is fifty-four thousand dirhams.
Can we claim the amount, noting that the agreement is not written, but there are emails exchanged between us and invoices?

A hair salon caused serious damage to my hair and scalp. What can I do to sue them?
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.

How can we claim our money back if the cheque we received have bounced for insufficient funds?
We received a cheque which has now bounced. We have tried for over a month and a half now to get a new cheque from the person, and every day he says the next day.
We need the money now. We have been to the police station, and they said they can not do anything as the reason the cheque bounced is "Insufficient funds."
We have been to Al Barsha - Dubai Courts, and they said there is nothing they can do about it.
We are not sure what we can do. We need the money asap to pay our kids' school fees, let alone all the interest we have lost.
