I invested money in a business but my partner is removing me out from partnership. Can I pursue legal action?
Hi
I'm an Irish citizen and a resident of the United Kingdom. I got investment fraud in Dubai. I invested money into a business with a Pakistani national guy in March 2024 via bank transfer into his business account.
Now he's giving back the money which I invested in business after 9 months. He's preparing a letter from a local lawyer to kick me out of the business. I do not have any other option than to take out at least my money.
But it's unfair to me that he used my money in business and took all the advantage.
Some people say to me that if you claim money or take legal action against him, it will take too much time and I need to travel to Dubai to appear in court because it is a civil matter. But I'm not a resident.
How can I follow the civil case there?
That's why my partner knows that I can not do anything and this case keeps running long time and in the end nothing happens. But I'm thinking that I will submit a complaint through my embassy and I also have a solicitor in the United Kingdom.
You can give us a POA and initiate legal action against him. We need to know the case details to advise you properly.
If you were a partner in the business, then he cannot remove you as a shareholder.
Please send us an email or call us for detailed discussion and assistance.
Dear Client,
Thanks for your question!
I hope you are doing well. I will assist you in this matter.
If you’ve been a victim of investment fraud in Dubai, you can file a criminal complaint with Dubai Police or pursue a civil lawsuit to recover your money.
Your presence in Dubai may be required for court proceedings, but hiring a UAE-based lawyer can help represent you and reduce travel.
Collect all evidence, such as bank transfers and agreements, to strengthen your case. Embassies can provide guidance but cannot intervene legally.

Thanks & Regards,

Hello dear,
The questioner who told you this is not truthful. You can file a civil case to claim your money and profits and fair compensation for any damage you have suffered, whether material or moral.
It is not a requirement to be in Dubai. We can file a civil case for you under a power of attorney.
For further discussion, please share your WhatsApp number.
Dear Questioner,
Good morning.
We understand your situation regarding investment fraud in Dubai. Here’s how you can proceed:
1. Recovering Your Investment:
Accepting repayment of the initial investment can be a practical step, but ensure the agreement explicitly states that your rights to further claims are not waived.
A letter from the partner's lawyer should be reviewed by an independent legal consultant before signing.
2. Legal Action in Dubai:
Filing a civil case for fraud or breach of partnership terms is possible. Yes, civil matters in Dubai may require your presence at hearings unless represented by a lawyer.
However, you can notarize a Power of Attorney (POA) remotely from your location to allow us to represent you in court and act on your behalf. This will enable us to pursue your legal rights without you needing to travel to Dubai.
3. UK Solicitor's Role:
A UK solicitor may assist in coordinating with a UAE legal consultant but cannot litigate in Dubai courts.
Next Step:
To proceed effectively, we would need to review the documents related to your company and investment. Please send all relevant documentation to help us fully assess your case and provide the best advice moving forward.
For legal assistance, please contact us by phone or email.
Dear questioner
For a civil case, it will take 2 to 3 months to get judgment. If you entrust your case with a lawyer then your physical presence is not required in UAE.
We can handle the matter and then get the profits of the capital that you had invested, kindly share your WhatsApp number to proceed.
Investment disputes in the UAE are civil matters. To avoid traveling to the UAE, you can issue a power of attorney to a UAE lawyer.
This authorizes them to represent you in court, gather evidence, negotiate, and handle all aspects of the legal proceedings on your behalf.
Your lawyer will keep you updated on the case's progress. We can handle the dispute on your behalf.
Kindly share your WhatsApp number to discuss further about the procedures.
As an Irish citizen dealing with investment fraud in Dubai, you should document all relevant information.
Consult with your solicitor about your options, consider filing a complaint through your embassy for assistance, and engage a local lawyer if you choose to pursue legal action in Dubai to recover your funds.
Under UAE law, if you have a contract with your Pakistani partner and were defrauded in your investment, you can take legal action to recover your money.
In such civil cases, the process may take time, especially if you are not a resident of the UAE.
However, you can file a complaint in civil court through a licensed lawyer in the UAE, and you can also follow up on the case through a legal representative.
While submitting a complaint through your embassy is an option, it is also advisable to hire a local lawyer specializing in fraud and investment cases in the UAE to handle your matter effectively.
Hello, First, it is necessary to clarify whether there are any commercial contracts for the investment between you and him.
In the absence of contracts, criminal action will be taken, which involves filing a complaint for fraud and deception.
This does not require your presence in the country; you can issue a power of attorney to a lawyer while you are abroad, and the lawyer will handle everything.
In case there are contracts between you, please provide them so that we can evaluate your legal position and offer the appropriate legal advice.
