Q: Hi Team,
I would like to ask.
I'm an agent in the UAE, and my receivable commission has been delayed by my agency which is above AED 1 million. However the company is not running well lately, and it has a risk of insolvency.
If it really happens, who should I claim my commission from?
If there are still commissions not paid by the developer to the company, can I claim that part from the developer directly?
Many thanks.

Can the brokerage company of the property buyer withhold the commission of the seller's company?
Q: I am writing to seek your legal expertise and advice on a pressing issue concerning a property sale transaction that my brokerage company has facilitated.
Here are the details:
Our brokerage company represented the seller in a property sale where the property was sold with an existing rental agreement in place.
As per the terms of the agreement, the rental balance was supposed to be given to the buyer, who is now the new owner of the property.
In this transaction, our company is entitled to a 40% commission, and the buyer's brokerage company is entitled to 60%.
However, the buyer's brokerage company, which has complete control over the buyer's funds, has transferred the entire 100% commission to their own account.
They are currently withholding this commission, stating that they will release it once the rental balance is paid to the buyer.
Unfortunately, we have lost contact with the buyer, as he has blocked the seller's agent, making it impossible for us to fulfill this condition.

كيفية مطالبة العميل بفواتير لم يدفعها
س: إن شركتي (التي يقع مقرها في دبي) مدينة بمبلغ 140,000 درهم إماراتي لتوفير خدمات القوى العاملة لدعم عمليات تقديم الطعام لمكتب رئيسي تجاري يقع في دبي في أبو ظبي.
لقد فشلوا في دفع فاتورتي منذ سبتمبر 2017، ونحن نلاحقهم جميعًا ولكن الإدارة تغيرت ولم يكلفوا أنفسهم عناء الرد على أي رسائل بريد إلكتروني أو مكالمات.
ما أود فعله هو استرداد أموالي مع رسوم التأخير وجميع الفوائد القانونية. لقد مضى وقت طويل الآن. إنها مجموعة شركات مرموقة ويبدو أنها ليست على استعداد للدفع.
يرجى ملاحظة أن جميع المستندات موجودة مثل الاتفاقية والفواتير ومذكرات التسليم.
سأكون ممتنًا لتقديم النصح والمساعدة بهذا الشأن.

I bought a property and the seller sent the tenant an eviction notice but he refuses to leave. What to do?
I bought an investment property last year on the condition that the landlord serve the 12-month notice specifically for the purpose of selling the unit and gave the tenant the notice.
The landlord sent a court notice of 12 months for selling the property which was sold to me.
Plus at the time of renewing the lease with the new landlord (myself) during these 12 months. It was mentioned in the contract that the landlord will not renew.
It was also mentioned that the validity of the contract is until the date of court notice.
The landlord sold the property as per the notice.
The tenant got their 12 months. Now the tenant is refusing.

Is a 3-month notice for non-renewal of our warehouse lease valid?
Hello,
We would like to ask for legal advice. Our company is currently renting a warehouse, and our contract ends in June. We have just received an email from the landlord stating that they do not wish to renew our contract once it expires.
Please note that we were informed through a regular email, not via an Emirates Post registered email or Dubai Courts. They mentioned that they will use the warehouse for their own purposes.
May I know if this is allowed, considering we were given only three months' notice?
As I understand, a one-year notice is required for eviction. Does our case fall under eviction?
I look forward to your response, as we would like to explore our options.

Can I request reopening a civil case if the judgment was in my absence due to sending notices to the wrong address?
Lawyers misunderstood my question. Please read carefully and then guide me.
Case Type: Civil Case
Claim amount: 400,000
Paid: 65,000
Reason: Commercial agreement of supply
Emirate: Ajman
This case was registered in 2022. The judgment was in my absence, as notices were sent to the wrong address.
I was sent to jail. I made a down payment, bailed, and paid some more amount as installments. The total paid amount is AED 65000.
Now, again, an arrest warrant is issued as I did not pay the remaining 335,000 of the claim.
According to me, I had to pay only this amount because the executioner made a wrong claim, not as per the genuine claim.
So I want to reopen the case file.
I want the court to reinvestigate and start the case from scratch.
1) How can I make that request?
2) What documents are required?
3) Chances of reopening of case?
4) Cancellation of arrest warrant
Please guide me in detail, as I will do everything myself, as I cannot afford a lawyer right now.

If a bank has filed an execution cheques case through the Dubai Courts. Is a travel ban automatically applied?
A bank has filed an execution cheques case through the Dubai Courts due to nonpayment of a personal loan and credit card.
Is a travel ban automatically applied?
I looked on the Dubai Courts website, and it says the judge has issued a “reserved” order for my case.
Furthermore, when the bank emails, they threaten me with a travel ban. So I am assuming there is no travel ban issued (but I don’t know). I haven’t received any notice of a travel ban.
If there is a travel ban, how do I find out?
I have checked the Dubai police app, and there are no financial crimes against me.
Please advise if you know.

My company has filed a case against a client for failure to pay and bounced cheque. How to follow up?
Hello.
My company has filed a case against a client for failure to pay and a bounced cheque. The client's company is registered as a virtual office in the Creative City Free Zone in Fujairah, so our case is filed there.
The client basically purchased some equipment from us, and his payment via bank transfer did not go through and was rejected. Then, when we deposited his security cheque after multiple attempts to contact and no answer, the cheque bounced.
The company is under his wife's name, and we have filed a case on the same.
The court has accepted our application, however, they have instructed the execution bureau to get the Emirates ID of this authorised signatory. The bureau is asking us to get it, and we have no way to do so, unfortunately.
Without the Emirates ID, the court cannot freeze the bank accounts or put a travel ban, etc.
What are our options here?

I secured a mortgage from the bank and the broker kept delaying until the MOU expired. What to do?
Hi,
I need some guidance regarding a property transaction that is not progressing as expected.
My broker initiated a manual Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between me (the Buyer) and the Seller, with an expiry date of 01/02/2025. Within this period, I successfully arranged the bank mortgage, property evaluation, and NOC.
However, the broker started giving excuses, such as the seller being hospitalized. Later, the broker attempted to arrange a Power of Attorney (POA).
However, after that, they started ignoring my messages and calls. It now seems like they no longer intend to proceed with me, and the MOU has already expired.
Meanwhile, my bank EMI has already started, and I have paid two monthly installments. The broker is still unresponsive. I have raised multiple complaints through DLD RVS against the broker, but the response has been very slow and unsatisfactory.
I’m feeling stuck and financially burdened.
Please advise

My husband is taking a loan to get married again while my daughter and I live in a shared accommodation. What are my rights?
My husband has a girlfriend/fiancée. He is Muslim now, but when we got married, we were both Christians. So I know that he will not have another wife because it's not allowed in our country and religion.
Do I have the right to tell him that it's illegal?
Also, we have loans here and in our country, and he wants to get a loan just to marry his girlfriend and find a flat for her. While my daughter and I only live in a room with shared tenants.
What are my rights?
Thank you so much!
