س: مرحبًا،
لقد أنهت الشركة خدمتي في شهر أبريل بعد اتهامي بالسرقة. كما أخبروني أنه تم رفع قضية جنائية ضدي. منذ ذلك الحين لم أتلق أي اتصال من الشرطة.
حتى الآن لم تلغ الشركة تأشيرتي ولا أعرف ماذا أفعل. أخشى أن يكونوا قد رفعوا قضية هروب ضدي.
لديّ عرض عمل من شركة أخرى. يرجى تقديم المشورة لي بشأن ما يجب عليّ أن أفعل.

The expected punishment for theft when the victim agrees to drop the charges?
2
Q: Dear whom it may concern,
I would like to ask on behalf of a family member who faces a trial soon in Sharjah on charges of theft. He is concerned about the level of punishment he faces.
(Roughly 6,500 dirhams worth of goods were stolen.over four times. He has maintained his position of guilt from the beginning. He has compensated the victims twice the amount, roughly 12000 dirhams and the complainant has agreed to drop the charges).
It seems like the case will be classified as a misdemeanor "Jonhaa". What can he expect his punishment to be?
And would appointing a lawyer help to lower the punishment at this stage?
Thank you in advance!

I would like to seek assistance regarding the current status of my case.

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.
