3 متاح 3 • عرض الجميعA company threatens legal action over a bad review. How should I respond?



1
Q: Dear concern,
We booked a photography company last month for my son's birthday party, and the service from the photographer was really disappointing.
We posted a Google review stating our disappointment. Later, the company contacted us through WhatsApp to remove the review to avoid legal cases.
We removed it, informing them that we would repost it after seeking legal advice. Could you please help me?

How to deal with fake Google reviews from a former employee?



2
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
I am running a clinic in Dubai. I hired a doctor a few months ago. She failed to perform the work for which she was hired, so I fired her. Now she is giving fake reviews on Google.
She is also doing this with her friends. I have contacted her, but she has left the country.
Please advise what we can do!
Thank you!

التدوين وكتابة مراجعة سلبية عن مطعم
2
س: نحن مدونون نكتب عن الأطعمة، وقد دعانا أحد المطاعم لمراجعة طعامهم. بمجرد وصولنا، قالت المالكة أنها لا تعرف أي شيء عن هذا الأمر.
عندما أظهرنا لها تأكيدًا خطيًا من زوجها رفضت قبوله.
لقد أهدرت وقتنا ومالنا في سبيل الوصول إلى مطعمها وعندما وصلنا اخبرتنا أن نخرج.
لقد أصبحت عدائية لذلك أختي أخرجت هاتفها لالتقاط فيديو بسبب صراخها علينا.
لكن عندما لاحظت السيدة الهاتف هاجمت أختي. سحبتها وسببت لها خدوشًا سيئة للغاية. تركت علامة كبيرة على ذراع أختي.
عندما جاءت الشرطة قيل لنا أن نحذف الفيديو، وقد حذفناه أمامهم.
بمجرد أن غادرت الشرطة، هددتنا بأننا إذا ذكرنا ذلك لشخص ما، أو نشرناه على إنستجرام، أو ترك مراجعة سيئة على Zomato، فسيقاضوننا.
هل تستطيع فعل هذا؟ أنا فقط أريد أن أكتب مراجعة صادقة على Zomato حيث سأشرح موقفنا وأنشر صور ذراع أختي.
أم يمكنها أن ترفع قضية ضدنا؟

Can I be convicted of driving under the influence even if the alcohol test came back negative? 0
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.

However, a report was filed and a case was opened, but the alcohol test report came back negative. Will I be convicted despite that?

Do I need to inform my current employer 2 months in advance if I plan to leave? 0
Hello,
I am planning to change to another company and I am waiting for the offer. The visa from the current company is going to end in 2 months.
Should I inform them about my leaving? I haven’t received any offer yet, so I didn’t inform them, and they’re asking about the renewal every day.
Is it mandatory to inform them 2 months in advance?

Can we legally claim unpaid dues for food supplies based on emails and invoices? 0
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?

عرض الجميعكيف يمكنني الاستعلام عن قضية إبعاد أمني ومحاولة العودة إلى الإمارات؟ 0
السلام عليكم،
أود الاستفسار بشأن قضية إبعاد زوج خالتي من دولة الإمارات العربية المتحدة. زوج خالتي كان مقيماً في الإمارات وكان قد وُلد وترعرع هناك.
في عام 2013 تم إبعاده من الإمارات، وكان ذلك نتيجة لسياسات حكومية كانت تستهدف مجموعة من المقيمين في تلك الفترة، وهو لم يكن قد ارتكب أي مخالفة في ذلك الوقت وكان يُعتبر ضحية للسياسات المتبعة.
أرغب في معرفة الإجراءات التي يجب أن أتبعها حالياً من أجل رفع هذا الإبعاد وتمكينه من العودة إلى الإمارات.
أرجو أن توضح لي كيف يمكنني مساعدته في هذا الموضوع.
شكراً جزيلاً.

What should I do if the company cuts my salary by 60% without my consent? 0
Hello,
I'm a Malaysian and have worked with a company registered in Dubai. I'm based in Malaysia and have been working with them since 2008.
Recently, the company has been facing financial trouble and offered me a 60% pay cut, which I did not agree to. I offered them two options: to temporarily cut my salary by 20%, or to pay me retrenchment compensation based on my contract (which is based on Malaysian law).
Please advise me on my next course of action if the company cuts my salary by 60% without my consent.

What legal action can a company take to recover an amount from a non-paying customer? 0
Hello,
We are a building materials trading company based in the UAE. We supplied materials worth AED 50,000 to a customer around 8 months ago, but despite repeated follow-ups and reminders, no payment has been made to date.
We would appreciate guidance on the following:
1. What legal action can we take to recover the amount?
2. What documents should we have ready (e.g., delivery notes, invoice, emails)?
3. How long does the legal process typically take in the UAE for such cases?
4. Is there a recommended timeline or deadline after which legal steps should be initiated?
Thank you in advance for your advice!

هل يمكن الزواج من إماراتي عسكري متقاعد عالمعاش بدون تقديم موافقه من جهه العمل؟ 0
السلام عليكم
هل يمكن الزواج من إماراتي عسكري متقاعد عالمعاش بدون تقديم موافقه من جهه العمل؟
وإذا تم الزواج فعلاً، هل يتاثر الزوج أو يتعاقب؟
وفي حال لم يقل الزوج مكان عمله، هل المأذون له طريقه ليعرف جهه العمل؟
هل يمكن الزواج عن بعد إذا كان الولي (الأخ) خارج الإمارات ولا يحمل هويه إماراتيه؟
وهل يجب فقط الشهود من نفس جنسيه الزوجة؟ هل هذا شرط ؟
واذا لم يتوفر، لا أستطيع تقديم طلب نهائي من شهود جنسيات أخرى مع العلم أن الزواج خارج المحكمة مع مأذون في عجمان.
مع العلم أن الزوج إماراتي متقاعد والزوجه أردنية (مطلقه مع شهادة طلاق صادرة من وزارة العدل بينونة كبرى) وشهادة وفاة ولي الأمر (والدي) من الإمارات، وفحص طبي من الإمارات.
