3 متاح 3 • عرض الجميعIs it possible to convert a deportation order to a fine in a theft case after serving sentence?
Q: Hi,
Someone has a theft case with a sentence of 3 months and deportation then the sentence is already served and finished and the person tried to appeal but the judgment remained the same.
What are the chances of requesting a deportation order to be converted into a fine so the person can pay a fine instead of being deported, and remain in the country?

س: أهلاً بك،
لقد حُكم علي بغرامة 5 آلاف والترحيل. ومع ذلك، فقد تغير القانون الآن وأرغب في إلغاء ترحيلي لأنها قضيتي الوحيدة في الإمارات منذ 7 سنوات.
هل يمكنني استئناف القضية إذا كانت في عام 2020 وليس الآن؟

How can I appeal a case if I missed the hearing and defending myself?
Q: I had a misdemeanor case in Dubai last January 28, 2023, then I was released on January 30 after a judge hearing.
Now the judge asks me to submit a translated Arabic appeal letter for my explanation and seek help from the police officers.
Unfortunately, no one can help me and assist me. They just released me the same day right away after the hearing without submitting my appeal.
Then, they told me to wait for a call from Dubai Courts. Unfortunately, after waiting, no one called me so I followed up after a couple of days, but still no one replied to me.
I even mailed the Dubai Police and they just said it was forwarded already to the HQ. I have to wait for a call. 2 weeks ago I received a call from them from Barsha telling me that I have to go to Dubai Courts.
Then when I checked online, I found out that there is already a final judgment of 1 month of jail and deportation.
Ma'am/Sir, I need to defend myself and submit an appeal because I have valid reasons why things happened at that time.

عرض الجميعDoes unpaid leave include weekends if they fall within the leave period?
Hello,
If I take unpaid leave and a weekend falls in between, will the weekend also be counted as unpaid leave, meaning I will not receive a salary for those weekend days?
Thank you!

Terminated for performance issues without prior warning while on vacation. What should I do?
Hello Sir,
I am facing an issue with my employer. I work in the private sector in the UAE, and my employment visa expires in June 2025.
After two years, I traveled to my home country for vacation, and one week after my arrival, the company sent me an email terminating my employment due to performance issues.
However, I was never given any prior warning or written notice. The termination email also did not mention any notice period or other details.
I would like to know my rights and what I should do in this situation.

Changed my mind before signing the lease agreement. Are my post-dated rent checks at risk?
Hello,
I recently found an apartment for rent and agreed with the agent to make payments in three installments.
I provided the agent with post-dated checks for the second and third payments and planned to transfer the first payment, deposit, and agency fee to the agent’s account once the lease agreement was finalized.
However, the lease agreement has not been finalized yet, and I have since found a better place. Since I have not signed any lease agreement, should I be concerned about the landlord cashing the checks for the second and third payments? Is it legal?
Additionally, the agent requested an extra 2,000 dirhams beyond the amount he intended to include in the lease agreement.

I hired an agency to close my free zone company but failed to do so. What can I do?
I hired an agency to close my free zone company in October last year and paid them already.
However, I have now been informed by the FDA that the company has not been closed, and I am required to upload a renewed license (which I do not have), otherwise, I will face a penalty.
The agency I hired is not responding to my messages.
What can I do?

عرض الجميعIs the compensation for notice period deducted on the basis of full salary or basic salary?
Hello,
I understand that if anyone wishes to resign without serving their full notice period, they are supposed to compensate the employer for the remaining time that they didn't serve the notice, also known as "notice Compensation".
Is this notice compensation deducted based on the full salary or on the basic salary?

Can I hold the delivery of goods to a buyer outside the UAE if he defaulted on payment?
I, as a UAE-based Seller, entered a sales agreement with a KSA-based Buyer. The Buyer defaulted on the LC payment, breaching the contract.
The goods are stuck at the port as they need original documents, which I am holding to recover the outstanding balance.
They later made a partial payment but now threaten to cash the PBG (UAE bank) I provided if don't release the document.
The contract mandates DIAC arbitration but lacks a governing law clause. I need advice on:
1. Which law applies to this dispute?
2. Where can I seek an injunction to prevent PBG encashment, given the Buyer’s bad faith and breach? Or should I send a letter to their bank with the brief above?
Kindly advise.

I purchased a rented apartment in Abu Dhabi. Can I evict the tenant immediately if there is no Tawtheeq contact?
I recently purchased a rented apartment in Abu Dhabi and agreed to honor the existing lease. After the transfer, I discovered that the lease is not a Tawtheeq contract, meaning it is not officially registered.
Since I am not receiving rent (as it was a non-refundable arrangement with the seller), I prefer not to issue a new Tawtheeq. I also want to avoid a formal notice to vacate to prevent disputes, as I plan to move in.
However, I have already informed the tenant that I will not be renewing the lease. I need legal advice on the implications of proceeding without a Tawtheeq contract.
What are my risks, especially if the tenant refuses to move out?
What legal actions, if any, can the tenant take in this situation?

What can I do about constant noise from my upstairs neighbors?
Hello,
My neighbors on the upper floor are causing noise throughout the day, almost 24/7. They keep dragging furniture, dropping heavy objects, and slamming doors.
The property manager was not very helpful, and I cannot sleep or take power naps. I sleep when they do and wake up when they wake up.
Also, there are 6 family members in a one-bedroom apartment in Dubai.
