Q: Hi ,
I left UAE during the financial crisis 2009 because I got laid back by my employer and I could not pay back my bank loan. The bank collection agents contacted me few times but I couldn't reach an agreement with them as I am facing financial difficulties as a single parent for 2 kids currently not working.
l want to go back to UAE for a job offer. A friend checked for me with Immigration and Court. They found that there is a judgement in absentia of 6 months under my name and case filed requesting the amount of the loan plus the interest which I can not afford paying a single portion of it.
Is there a legal solution to sort this out due to 9 years passed since I left the UAE? So I can get a job offer and support my kids and if my financial situation improves in the future I will try to settle the loan. This 6-month absentia imprisonment was issued 6 months ago.

هل يمكن تبديل الحكم بالسجن إلى حكم بالغرامة إذا كان المتهم خارج الإمارات؟
38
س: عزيزي السيد / خالد،
لقد كنت أعمل وأعيش في الإمارات العربية المتحدة منذ 10 سنوات وكنت مديونًا ببعض بطاقات الائتمان وبقرض. جئت إلى باكستان في العام الماضي ولم أعد، حيث تم إنهاء عقد عملي خلال عطلتي.
بدأت الآن في تسوية مع البنوك وحصلت على خصم جيد ووافقت على التسوية. تبقت بعض القضايا القليلة والتي أخطط لدفع الغرامات فيها في المحكمة. قضيتين من تلك القضايا حكم فيها بالسجن، حكم بالسجن لمدة شهر في قضية مستحقات بطاقة ائتمان بقيمة 16000 درهم إماراتي، والسجن لمدة شهرين في قضية أخرى عن مستحقات بطاقة ائتمان أيضًا بقيمة 31000 درهم إماراتي.
برجاء النصح، هل يمكن أن يتم تبديل الحكم إلى غرامات أيضًا؟ ما الذي ينبغي علي فعله في هذا الموقف حيث أنني خارج الإمارات وعلي حكم بالسجن فيها؟
شكرًا لك.

عرض الجميعHow can I renew my Ejari if the landlord hasn’t signed the new contract? 0
Hi,
I have been here for 3 years now and paid the increased amount (as per the agreement) for the 4th year.
However, the landlord did not send me back the signed contract, although I have both made the payment for the full year via bank transfer and sent my signed contract to him.
I need to renew my Ejari; however, how can I do it without the landlord's signature?
I have all the previous contracts signed by both parties, along with the Ejari for those contracts.

Hello,
How can I file a counter-complaint against a person who made a false report about me for public cursing, which I never did?
He made the complaint about three months after we last met. I now have a case because of it, but I never said any bad words to him.
I was stopped at the airport because of that.

My company has filed a case against a client for failure to pay and bounced cheque. How to follow up? 0
Hello.
My company has filed a case against a client for failure to pay and a bounced cheque. The client's company is registered as a virtual office in the Creative City Free Zone in Fujairah, so our case is filed there.
The client basically purchased some equipment from us, and his payment via bank transfer did not go through and was rejected. Then, when we deposited his security cheque after multiple attempts to contact and no answer, the cheque bounced.
The company is under his wife's name, and we have filed a case on the same.
The court has accepted our application, however, they have instructed the execution bureau to get the Emirates ID of this authorised signatory. The bureau is asking us to get it, and we have no way to do so, unfortunately.
Without the Emirates ID, the court cannot freeze the bank accounts or put a travel ban, etc.
What are our options here?

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.
