3
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
We are at the final stages of the process, with our MoU expiring while waiting for the NOC. All cheques have been issued and shared.
In the MoU, we have a couple of additional conditions regarding the seller's obligation to obtain the NOC and a penalty of 10% for defaulting on either side.
If the seller decides not to continue with the process and not renew the MoU, does the expired one still legally cover the buyer?

Can the MOU with the property buyer be extended after expiry without my approval?
2
Q: Hello,
I have signed an MOU without any deposit and the MOU expired today. The broker and buyer did not turn up to close the deal and the MOU expired today.
I spoke to another broker but he said that while raising Form A, it's showing Contract F exists.
Earlier it was showing to him Active Contract F exists but now after the expiry of the MOU, it is showing that Contract F exists.
How can this expired MOU be still effective?

هل يمكن للمشتري الحصول على مبلغ التأمين إذا تراجع عن مذكرة تفاهم شراء عقار؟

3
س: مرحبًا،
ماذا لو تراجع المشتري عن شراء عقار بعد توقيع مذكرة التفاهم الداخلية التي صاغها البائع؟
كان هناك بند ينص على أنه سيتم إرجاع مبلغ التأمين عند السداد الكامل. النموذج F من دائرة الأراضي والأملاك لم يتم التوقيع عليه بعد.
في هذه الحالة، هل لا يزال بإمكاننا الحصول على مبلغ التأمين البالغ 10% أم لا؟

Will the contract be automatically canceled if the bank does not process the mortgage?

Q: Hello, Legal Advice ME
I am writing to seek your advice on my ongoing process of buying an apartment. I have signed contract F, which is valid until 15 Aug 2024. My plan was to buy it financed by a mortgage.
I got my pre-approval and signed the contract, then passed it to the agency to complete all needed paperwork. The agency took over with the bank, and then I found out that the apartment, although not a hotel, is listed as a hotel apartment on the title deed.
The bank said processing this would take a very long time. I applied with a different bank, again all pre-approved, but as soon as they found out about the property type stated on the title deed, they said they cannot finance it.
My questions are:
- If the first bank is unable to process all the paperwork on time, will the contract be automatically canceled?
- Can I cancel the contract based on the fact that I was not made aware of the property type stated on the title deed before signing the contract? Would I get the 10% deposit back?

Canceling my MoU and getting my deposit back due to a low bank valuation and overpriced property




1
Q: Hi,
I wanted to purchase a 2-bedroom apartment in JVC Dubai. I gave a 10% security deposit cheque to the seller. The price mentioned in the MoU is very high compared to other similar apartments in the same building.
The bank’s valuation also came in very low. Since the valuation is much lower, how can I terminate the MoU and get my cheque back? The MoU ends on 1st October 2024.
One of the articles in the MoU states:
In the event that the Buyer fails to make the payments as agreed or fails to complete the transfer on the agreed date due to his own acts or omissions, the Seller has the right to terminate this agreement and retain the deposit, provided that the termination is due to a violation of the agreed terms, unless both parties agree amicably to different dates.
I need help urgently.

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 the owner of a company escape if there is a cheque execution and travel ban on him? 0
I raised a cheque execution case against a company and its owner and won. There is a travel ban on him. I was receiving installments for three months and now he stopped paying.
The court after request summoned him. In total, he paid only 30% of the owed money. I found that his company license is expired and also in the month his visa will expire.
Does he have any option to avoid payment?
Please note he was deceived by showing no money in his bank account and no assets in his name but he is running multiple businesses.
Also a month ago, he tried to convince me to lift the travel ban but I refused to do so. But he submitted a guarantee and left UAE.
Now the status shows he is back in the UAE and the travel ban imposed again. But after that, he stopped payment.
Is there a 1% chance of him not paying me the remaining money?
Is there a way he can leave the country through the Amnesty program or any of this sort?

Can a developer demand extra payment for a 30% size increase after handover? 0
Hello,
I purchased a one-bedroom off-plan unit in Dubai from a well-known developer under an SPA specifying an area of 801 sq. ft. I completed all payments as per the developer’s payment plan, and the unit was handed over to me without a Title Deed.
After taking possession, furnishing the unit, signing a tenancy contract, and making repeated follow-ups to obtain my Title Deed, the developer informed me, 45 days after handover, that the actual area was 1,041.41 sq. ft., a 30% increase from the original SPA terms.
To receive my Title Deed, they are now demanding payment for the increased size.
Key issues:
- Failure to notify me before handover about the 30% increase in area.
- The SPA allows for price adjustments for area variations but specifies that such adjustments must be reflected in the final installment, which I had already fully paid before handover.
- The developer has now filed a legal case through Dubai Courts, demanding payment.
I require legal advice based on RERA/DLD laws and the SPA.

Can I request reopening a civil case if the judgment was in my absence due to sending notices to the wrong address? 0
Lawyers misunderstood my question. Please read carefully and then guide me.
Case Type: Civil Case
Claim amount: 400,000
Paid: 65,000
Reason: Commercial agreement of supply
Emirate: Ajman
This case was registered in 2022. The judgment was in my absence, as notices were sent to the wrong address.
I was sent to jail. I made a down payment, bailed, and paid some more amount as installments. The total paid amount is AED 65000.
Now, again, an arrest warrant is issued as I did not pay the remaining 335,000 of the claim.
According to me, I had to pay only this amount because the executioner made a wrong claim, not as per the genuine claim.
So I want to reopen the case file.
I want the court to reinvestigate and start the case from scratch.
1) How can I make that request?
2) What documents are required?
3) Chances of reopening of case?
4) Cancellation of arrest warrant
Please guide me in detail, as I will do everything myself, as I cannot afford a lawyer right now.

If a bank has filed an execution cheques case through the Dubai Courts. Is a travel ban automatically applied? 0
A bank has filed an execution cheques case through the Dubai Courts due to nonpayment of a personal loan and credit card.
Is a travel ban automatically applied?
I looked on the Dubai Courts website, and it says the judge has issued a “reserved” order for my case.
Furthermore, when the bank emails, they threaten me with a travel ban. So I am assuming there is no travel ban issued (but I don’t know). I haven’t received any notice of a travel ban.
If there is a travel ban, how do I find out?
I have checked the Dubai police app, and there are no financial crimes against me.
Please advise if you know.
