3
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
Seeking legal help for a dispute with a shipping company.
They are holding onto our goods because, during the Dubai floods, they were closed and refused delivery. We urgently need legal help to resolve this, as the storage charges are increasing each day.
Can you please advise on how to proceed?

التغطية التأمينية عن الأضرار التي لحقت بالمستودع

1
س: منذ عامين، استأجرت مساحة في مستودع (وليس المستودع بأكمله) لتخزين الأغراض الخاصة بعملي. على أي حال، تعرض المستودع للفيضان في شهر يناير 2020 وتضررت أغراضي بالكامل.
منذ ذلك الحين، استمروا في القول إنهم غير مسؤولين عما حدث، ولكنه، "الحظ". لديهم بالفعل بوليصة تأمين لتغطية ثلث تكلفة البضائع.
ليس لدي عقد موقّع معهم، لكن لدي عرض الأسعار الأصلي والفواتير الشهرية التي أرسلوها. يتضمن عرض الأسعار الأصلي أيضًا التأمين في حالة التلف الكلي، والذي كان في الواقع أحد الأسباب التي دفعتني للتعامل معهم.
لقد تحدثت مع اثنين من المحامين عبر الهاتف، لكنهما قالا أشياء معاكسة تمامًا، وأعتقد أن ذلك يرجع إلى أنهما ربما لم يتعاملا أبدًا مع قضايا مماثلة، لذلك أتمنى أن أجد شخصًا يعرف فعلاً ما ينص عليه القانون ويمكنه تقديم الدعم لي وفقًا لذلك.
لا أمانع البدء في إجراءات رفع قضية، لكنني بحاجة إلى معرفة ما إذا كان القانون التجاري يدعم موقفي وأنهم سيتحملون المسؤولية الكاملة.

The floods damaged my property. Who fixes it and compensates me?




1
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
My property in Dubai was damaged due to floods and is now mostly uninhabitable. The property management/builder is not taking any steps to rectify the situation.
Much of the damage occurred because a water pump in the nearby lake (part of the community) failed. If it had not failed, much less water would have entered the property.
Who can I raise a dispute with to ensure the builder repairs the property and compensates me for the damage?

What can I do if my employment visa got rejected multiple times by CID? 0
Hi Everyone,
I have been working in the UAE since 2019.
Since 31 December 2024, I have been in my home country because my visa was rejected a couple of times.
After waiting for 3 months, I found a new job in the UAE, but the employer told me again that the government did not approve my visa, and that was part of the CID approval.
I would like to know if I can find something to clear my issues, which would allow me again to start my work in the UAE.

Can I hold the delivery of goods to a buyer outside the UAE if he defaulted on payment? 0
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? 0
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?

Terminated for performance issues without prior warning while on vacation. What should I do? 0
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.

Hello,
My landlord issued an eviction notice stating an intention to sell.
He has since sold the property before the eviction date, and now the new owner intends to use the old notice to evict me and re-rent the apartment at a higher rate.
Is this allowed?
