3
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
Kindly advise; your response is appreciated.
I'm an HR in a contracting firm with about 300 employees, including 200+ laborers under the company visa.
We are in the process of policy renewal. One of our laborers suffered a heart attack and was taken to the hospital, but his insurance has expired.
The bills amount to 35k, and the hospital is requesting payment. Our boss and company are not ready to pay. The laborer's minimum salary of 1700.
The hospital management mentioned the possibility of legal action if payment is not made.
Please advise on alternative options.

مسؤولية صاحب العمل إذا فقد موظف وعيه تحت تأثير الكحول
3
س: مرحبًا،
في شركتنا، سقط أحد العمال الحرفيين الذي كان تحت تأثير الكحول داخل معسكر العمل لدينا (إمارة الشارقة) من على سريره وفقد وعيه.
تم نقله إلى مستشفى خارج نطاق التغطية التأمينية بواسطة سيارة إسعاف بسبب عدم توافر مكان في المستشفى الحكومي. كما أخبرتنا شركة التأمين أنه نظرًا لأن هذه الحالة متعلقة بإدمان الكحول، فإنها غير مشمولة بالتأمين.
لعدة أشهر، لم تتحسن حالته والمبلغ المتراكم بسبب فواتير المستشفى كبير.
استفساري هو؛ إذا تسبب الموظف في إصابة نفسه وكان هذا الفعل غير مشمول بالتأمين، فهل صاحب العمل أو الكفيل مسؤول قانونيًا عن دفع الفاتورة أم أنها مسؤولية الموظف في المقام الأول؟

An employee is hospitalized and unconscious for more than a month. His basic medical insurance covers his medical expenses.

يندرج تحت الإصابة الشخصية الإصابات الجسدية والنفسية والعقلية. يحق للمُصاب أن يطالب بالضمان في حالة تعرُّضه لإصابة بسبب خطأ شخص آخر. كما يجوز للمتضرر إقامة دعوى ضد الشخص الذي تثبت إدانته في قضية جنائية أو ضد شركة التأمين الخاصة به إذا كان المتسبب قد شَمِل نفسه بالتأمين. يسمح القانون المدني الإماراتي بتقديم مطالبة بالضمان عن أضرار الإصابات.

عرض الجميعHow can I refund the amount of online tickets in Dubai for fraudulant misrepresentation? 0
Last Friday, I was booking tickets for the Miracle Garden on some Dubai tickets website, and on the OTP page, it showed 225 to be paid on my phone. The otp was added automatically, and I couldn't read the message properly. It turns out 4,225 got deducted from my account.
I immediately called the bank, and they said they can't reverse the transaction, fill out the dispute resolution form, etc. Even tho the transaction was in process today, the transfer shows complete.
Is there a way to get it back?
I registered an online complaint with the Central Bank and cybersecurity. I really need the money with my rent coming up, please guide me.

What to do if someone impersonated an employee in the company I own and got mobile lines and phones? 0
Someone impersonated an employee in the company I have owned since 2012 and extracted 18 mobile lines in addition to several iPhones.
I was surprised that the company cut off our landline and mobile communications on the pretext that he was monitoring a debt of 167,000 dirhams.
This person was arrested, tried, found guilty, and sentenced to deportation. However, the telecommunications company is still demanding from my company and pursuing me because of this debt that we are not to blame for.
How can this matter be resolved?

How long does it take for a bounced cheque case to be closed after a settlement? 0
Hello,
I had a cheque bounce case filed against me in Dubai, but I’ve now settled it with the complainant. The case has been with the Public Prosecution, and I’ve already submitted the notarized settlement documents.
It’s been 5 days since submission, and when I checked with the legal team, they couldn’t give me a clear timeline on how long it might take for the case to be withdrawn and for me to receive clearance.
Does anyone here have experience with this process? How long did it take for your case to be closed after submitting the notarized withdrawal request? Should I expect it to be done in a few days, or could it take longer?
Thanks in advance!

How can victims file a group case for fraud, bounced cheques, and misuse of credit cards? 0
Hello,
I would like to ask for legal advice regarding a fraud case in Abu Dhabi involving multiple victims. The suspect issued bounced cheques, received AED with a promise to exchange it into IDR but failed to deliver, misused other people’s credit cards, and operated an unlicensed travel/tour business.
Many clients paid for Umrah or vacation packages that never happened. The total loss is significant, and many victims have evidence such as WhatsApp chats, bank transfers, and bounced cheques.
We believe this involves a breach of trust and embezzlement. We would like to know if we can file a group case, what legal steps to take, and the cost of legal representation.
Thank you!

عرض الجميعHow can I remove a travel ban or avoid arrest if I left the UAE with an unpaid rent case? 0
In 2018, I was involved in a dispute concerning unpaid rent related to a property managed by [-----] under the jurisdiction of the Land Department. [----] proceeded with legal action, resulting in a civil case and the imposition of a travel ban.
A civil case had been reported in an Arabic-language newspaper. Not being fluent in Arabic, I missed the Land Department hearing, and the obvious outcome included an order for payment and a travel ban, but I had already left the country by that time.
questions:
Statute of Limitations: After how many years does such a civil case expire under UAE law, thereby allowing me to legally return to Dubai without facing arrest or enforcement actions?
International Travel: Am I currently at risk of arrest or extradition if I travel to non-GCC countries like India or Pakistan?

How can my kids learn about their father's condition without contacting his family? 0
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!
