Hello, What happens if a person does not show up at the first instance of a divorce hearing?

Hello. I went to a very well-known and professional salon (or so I thought) for a normal hair dye. The guy who did my hair left the dye on my hair for over an hour when it was supposed to be on for a maximum of 30 minutes. He wasn’t paying attention to me walking around the store talking to everyone and also doing another customer's extensions. Now my hair is potentially damaged, my skull burns, and is flaky (meaning the dye wasn’t ammonia-free which is extremely unprofessional for such an expensive salon). I didn’t even get the outcome that I wanted and the dye color doesn’t even show. I talked to him about it but he shut it down so fast and gaslit me the whole time and made me feel like I was the wrong one and I was ‘complaining about something so light’. Please let me know what I can do legally about this. Thank you.

Dear Lawyers, I need your advice regarding a non-compete clause in my contract. I left my former employer last September, and they were a free zone company. I have since started a similar business online with a Tajer license. However, my ex-employer is sending me emails daily, threatening to take legal action if I don’t close my business. Can you advise on my rights and the best course of action? Best regards,

Hello, I am writing to clarify the situation regarding my resignation. I officially resigned on December 31st, 2024, and according to my understanding and the initial agreement, my notice period was to end on January 31st, 2025. However, my contract was amended a few months ago to reflect a two-month notice period. I would like to emphasize that I have not signed this amendment, and the employer is blaming me for not signing the amended contract and will take action against me. Please let me know how you would like to proceed, as I am eager to ensure a smooth transition and complete all required handover tasks within the original notice period. I have already completed my notice period, but the employer is still forcing me to serve one more month, which I cannot do as I have another company to join on February 14th. I can't afford to lose this opportunity. I am currently working in the aviation industry in Sharjah, and my visa is a freezone visa. Your prompt response will be highly appreciated.

Hi, My tenant was not paying rent, so I filed a case and won it. The court has given a bailiff eviction date of 7th July. The tenant also has outstanding rent plus court fees to pay. The tenant called me and proposed an out-of-court settlement. She is offering to hand over the keys today, along with her furniture, to compensate for the outstanding rent. I don't trust the tenant as she has lied many times. She's asking me to come visit the apartment to look at the furniture and take the keys. 1. Please advise if it's ok to visit the apartment and take the keys and furniture without involving the bailiff. Do I need to report the furniture adjustment against the rent due to the court? 2. Can she create any other problem on my physical visit, although I have WhatsApp messages of her request? 3. Can she request payment installments from the court if I don't agree to take her furniture? 4. Can I write down the settlement with her on a plain piece of paper with her signature?

Good afternoon, My company terminated my contract today, 26 June, alleging misappropriative conduct, and this needs to be appealed because I didn't commit a fault. However, since June 2024, the company has not paid me 10 months' salary (I already filed a case in MOHRE the last 19 June). My questions are: 1. Can I claim the WPP insurance, even with the letter of termination? I understood that this insurance is for unpaid wages. 2. ILOE, I do not know if I can claim ILOE with this letter, because the allegation will take time to get a new termination letter, but I need some income to support me and my family. Thank you for your answers.

Hi, I rented an apartment 4 months ago, it is managed by a real estate company. I am going through a technical issue in the unit; the balcony door does not block the noise, and I live near a couple of construction yards. The property manager sent his team several times to fix the issue, and it only got worse (they replaced the original brushes with weaker ones). The balcony is attached to the bedroom, and I cannot use the bedroom for sleeping due to outside construction noise, especially during the night. Even earplugs do not help with the strength of the noise. The property manager is currently ignoring my requests to fix, saying that they cannot get a refund for the wrong fix, and according to them landlord does not agree to pay for another brush replacement. We have had an email exchange with the property manager for this issue for 3 months already. I don't want to go through the DLD route, which is expensive (3K AED to register a case) and probably slow too. What are my options? Thank you very much!

Hello, A customer based in Dubai booked a public experience online on the website of a reputable business based in Dubai. The customer came to the business location, the team was ready to provide the experience as per her booking. The customer started to shout loudly, claiming that she was expecting a private experience. She refused to do the experience and left. Then she started calling the Management claiming a refund. The Management explained that as per the T&Cs, experiences booked online are public. The Management offered as a goodwill gesture to refund the customer after deducting the cost of preparations that were paid by the business to set up the experience. The customer refused. The customer used her Instagram account and as an influencer + Google review to launch a campaign against the business reputation, inciting her audience/people not to use the business services. She used signs of alert/warnings. Is there a law that punishes such public incitement in the UAE?

I need help drafting a cassation memo for submission to the Abu Dhabi Court in a family case. I already have all the documents. Since there's no hearing at this stage, I don’t need full legal representation—just memo drafting. My ex-wife is claiming 2024–25 school fees, though child support is already granted. First instance rejected her claim, but the appeal overturned it and ordered me to pay 16,000 AED. I want to file a cassation due to legal errors and flawed reasoning in the appeal judgment. My budget is limited.

Hello, I had a cheque bounce case filed against me in Dubai, but I’ve now settled it with the complainant. The case has been with the Public Prosecution, and I’ve already submitted the notarized settlement documents. It’s been 5 days since submission, and when I checked with the legal team, they couldn’t give me a clear timeline on how long it might take for the case to be withdrawn and for me to receive clearance. Does anyone here have experience with this process? How long did it take for your case to be closed after submitting the notarized withdrawal request? Should I expect it to be done in a few days, or could it take longer? Thanks in advance!

“The guarantee is valid until 24.11.2021 and shall, before expiry, be automatically renewed until advised by you that the contract has been fulfilled. We have received an email from the Dubai Government Authority stating that the Original Bank guarantee has been misplaced, along with the reason that, due to the COVID period, many staff were working remotely at home, and the Dubai Government Authority has sent NOC for the release of the bank guarantee stating that" “Kindly release the bank guarantee No..... as the supplier has fulfilled the condition of the contract without any claim.” Further, the applicant has provided an undertaking cum indemnity to cancel the bank guarantee and release the underlying cash margin. So in the above case, the applicant has given the undertaking cum indemnity and beneficiary also confirmed by email that they have lost the guarantee so in such case. What further action does the bank need to take? Being the government authority, the bank may get less support in terms of documentation, so please advise.
