What’s the risk if my number was misused in a cybercrime with no victim or complaint?
Q: Hello,
What is the punishment for misdemeanor cases in cybercrime when there is no victim or complaint, and someone else used my number on a fake website without my knowledge?
I even have a complaint copy from my home country. What could be the worst-case scenario, considering the main person is not in the country and has not attended the court hearing, while only I am attending?

A client tricked into transferring funds to a fraudulent account. What to do?
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
Unfortunately, I have fallen victim to cybercrime.
One of our clients received a suspicious email containing a forged letterhead with a photoshopped signature and stamp, as well as an unauthorized IBAN (International Bank Account Number) that does not belong to us.
As a result, the client transferred funds to that fraudulent account without confirming with us.
Regarding our legal rights to recover the payment, it is essential to seek advice from a qualified attorney who is familiar with cybercrime and financial fraud. They will be able to guide us on the best course of action.
Depending on the jurisdiction and circumstances, we may explore options such as initiating a legal case against our client to recover the funds.
However, it is essential to have proper legal counsel to ensure that we take the appropriate steps and protect our rights throughout the process.

القانون لا يحمي المحتالين
تطرَّق قانون العقوبات الإماراتي مثل سائر القوانين لجريمة الاحتيال بنص المادة 399 من قانون العقوبات الاتحادي، حيث نص بأنه يعاقب بالحبس أو بالغرامة كل من توصل إلى الاستيلاء لنفسه أو لغيره على مال منقول أو سند أو توقيع هذا السند أو إلى إلغائه أو إتلافه أو تعديله، وذلك بالاستعانة بطريقة احتيالية أو باتخاذ اسم كاذب أو صفة غير صحيحة متى كان من شأن ذلك خداع المجني عليه وحمله على التسليم. فجريمة الاحتيال تتطلب وجود الركن المادي بالاستيلاء على مال الغير، والركن المعنوي المتمثل بالمناورات الاحتيالية.

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?

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.
