3 متاح 3 • عرض الجميعHow can I recover a loan from a friend who refuses to pay and threatens to sue me?
Q: So my friend asked me to give him a loan of AED 17,000 and he said he would give me interest. I was not aware at the time that interest is not allowed on private loans between individuals.
For 5 years he said he would pay me back but he hasn't till now. I only asked him to simply repay me the principal amount and that I don't need any interest at this point.
He kept stalling and finally, I was fed up with it and informed him Ill be filing a case. Now he is angry and he threatened me by saying that he will sue me back since interest on personal loans is not allowed.
It's like he knew about all this from the start and he coerced me into this. I think his plan all along was to take the loan from me, offer me interest knowing it's not allowed, and then use that excuse not to repay it.
He runs several businesses and surely has an idea of corporate laws but I'm just an ignorant employee. Please tell me what I can do in this situation. Will I be able to recover the amount?

How to waive or reduce the penalty for my expired company license and cancel it?
Dear Lawyer
I hope this message finds you well.
I set up a business license in a free zone in 2023. Unfortunately, the license expired in September 2024, and due to being occupied with other matters, I was not aware of the penalties associated with the expiration.
I recently attempted to cancel the license but was informed that a significant penalty has accrued. When I inquired about cancelling my visa first, I was told that it’s not possible to proceed without addressing the license issue.
Could you please advise if there is any legal way to waive or reduce this penalty?
I would greatly appreciate your guidance on how to resolve this situation with minimal cost.

Respected Law Team Members, I am writing to seek genuine legal advice and guidance for our friend regarding an ongoing issue with her employer.
On 23rd May 2025, she received a termination notice via WhatsApp from her sponsor, which clearly states that she is required to complete her handover by 20th June 2025.

How can my kids learn about their father's condition without contacting his family?
Good morning,
I have two kids. Their father is in critical care and is not able to communicate, and we have been divorced for more than seven years.
The other side of the family is not communicating with the kids about the father's whereabouts for them to visit him, and they have not been in touch with the kids for the past two weeks due to family issues that took place in court regarding guardianship of the kids.
How can I find a way for our kids to know what is going on with their father and his condition without reaching out to them, to avoid any further escalation?
My daughter has tried to call them, but there was no response.
Please advise!
