Q: Hi,
I took a loan from a bank in the UAE in 2014 for an amount of 22,000 AED, but I have to pay 33,000 AED.
I paid almost 23,000 AED to the bank, but I lost my job in 2016 and was unable to pay the remaining loan amount. The bank filed a police case against me, which I cleared by paying a fine of around 2,200 AED.
Since then, the bank has not contacted me in the last 4-5 years, even though I have told them that I already cleared the police case and do not have the money to pay the remaining loan amount.
Yesterday, I received a call from my home country, Pakistan, and someone told me that I must pay the bank loan at any cost in the UAE, otherwise, I will face serious consequences.
My question is, since I am still in the UAE, can any agency or department from my country call me or force me to pay the amount? Can they take any action against me?
Please give your valuable comments.
Thanks!

Will I be arrested in my country if I paid the first installment for a bank loan settlement in the UAE then stopped? 
Q: Hello Legal Advice,
I had a loan amount of AED 240K and after paying some installments, the amount came down to AED 170K. I got laid off from my job in the UAE due to company acquisitions, and now I am jobless in India.
After discussions with my bank, they sent a settlement letter for AED 150K and I paid AED 25K as a downpayment by selling gold and borrowing money from my friends.
Now I cannot pay the remaining amount because of being jobless and I am the sole breadwinner.
My query is will there be any legal problem if I don't pay the remaining amount after signing the settlement letter?
Will case execution be implemented in India also?
Will I be arrested in India or will they do anything legally to me in India?
Looking forward to your valuable response.
Regards
S.

Landlord cashed my rent but won’t renew Ejari unless I accept a higher deposit. What should I do?
Hello,
I had a rental dispute case with my landlord. Based on the judgment, I paid the entire rent to the landlord, which the landlord has already cashed.
He is not issuing the Ejari because he wants to increase the security deposit by 10% every year, which I am not accepting. I have already given the 5% security deposit.
The landlord is not accepting it. He is forcing me to sign a new agreement, otherwise he will not renew the lease agreement.
Please let me know what I should do.

Is it obligatory to issue an invoice for my customer to process his down payment?
Hello sir,
Is it obligatory to issue an invoice for my customer to process his down payment?
Our system doesn't allow us to issue an invoice unless the goods exist in our inventory. We also require this advance or down payment as confirmation of his order.
My customer is insisting on issuing him an invoice and says that this is required by UAE laws.

I lost the appeal filed by my landlord. What can I do if he illegally keeps my last cheque and deposit?
I got RDSC judgment in my favor awarding termination of my lease from May 2024 to May 2025. The landlord made an appeal and lied about my request for termination on 4 December.
My lawyer didn't give any response so the landlord won the appeal. Recently, the Landlord asked for the keys back and said I have overstayed since 4 Dec for not returning the key.
He said he could cash my last rent cheque and wouldn't return the deposit. I gave him my friend's address and said to pick up the key from there but to return my deposit and last rent cheque but he does not agree.
He wants to keep the deposit.

عرض الجميعI purchased a tour voucher from a holiday agency in Dubai and could not use due to a visa issue. Can I still claim it?
I purchased a tour voucher from a holiday agency in Dubai in 2023 worth AED 4239.00, but was not able to use it due to a visa problem.
I have constant email and communication through phone with them, and they informed me back then that my voucher will be available and has no expiration date that I can use anytime I want.
Now I wanted to use it, so I called them last Saturday, 31st May 2025, and they told me it has already expired due to the new policy.
Can I still claim and ask for my money back?

عرض الجميعCan I file a case against a friend for privacy breach if he claimed I scolded him for his act?
On Jan 2, 2025, one of my close friends did a privacy breach and recorded me and my van in some specific place.
On Feb 5, when I called and asked him why he did this to me, he went and gave a complaint that I scolded him and threatened him.
The same case was later closed by the PP when we negotiated outside the station and apologized.
At this juncture, can I file a privacy breach case against him, which happened on Jan 2, 2025, and on Feb 5 I scolded him only for the privacy breach that happened on Jan 2?

How can I obtain the new Ejari as proof if the owner re-rents the property?
Good afternoon,
Ramadan Kareem!
The owner of the property I’m renting has sent me an eviction notice so he can sell the property. According to the notice, I am required to leave. My questions are:
1. If the owner rents the property again, how can I obtain the new Ejari as proof that the property has been rented?
2. Do I have the right to ask for compensation? On what basis is compensation determined?
3. I currently have a signed tenancy contract with the owner. Do I need an Ejari to raise a case?
Thank you!
Wish you a great day ahead.

Request for legal guidance regarding employer harassment and premature asset retrieval demand (1)
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.
Since receiving the notice, however, her sponsor has been repeatedly contacting her via WhatsApp and phone calls, pressuring her to immediately return the company laptop and office cabinet keys, despite the agreed-upon handover date.
In addition, she has been verbally accusing my friend and making threatening remarks, creating a hostile environment, and causing her emotional distress.
To clarify her legal position, she contacted MOHRE, who advised her to reshare the termination notice to the lady employer about the handover date (20th June 2025) as she outlined in the (Cont-1)

Hello,
My previous employer filed a case against me for embezzlement and imposed a travel ban. I know for myself it was all a lie, but since the case is already filed and the police investigation is still ongoing, I need to find a job.
However, first, I am worried that my new employer will come to know I have an active case. Second, I am worried that I cannot get an employment visa.
Can someone help me?
