How can I complain about a salon with no license?
Everything in the salon is not clean, not sterilized, and they also keep one staff member without an ID.

I recently won my case at MOHRE regarding the AED 6,000 training cost, which the company was not entitled to.

My brother had a case and cleared it but still have a trave ban. What to do to guarantee him? 0
Hi,
My brother had a case, and he cleared it by settling all the dues in court and got the clearance paper as well.
However, a travel ban seems to exist now because of a small amendment that has to be made on his end.
In the meantime, he has to travel back home for a week for an emergency.
What can I do to lift the travel ban temporarily if I want to be the guarantor?
How to file the application for this?
Should the debtor also authorise this application even though his dues are paid, but only an amendment to their trade license is not initiated at this point, based on the actual judgement?

The situation is as follows:
The contract expires on August 14, 2025. However, the contract includes the following clauses:
1. (The “Term”) commencing on August 1, 2023. The contract shall automatically and repeatedly renew for periods of 2 years unless either Party notifies the other in writing, not less than 90 days prior to the expiry date of such period, of its desire not to renew the original or any renewed period.
2. This contract may be terminated by either of the Parties prior to the end of the Term, provided that the terminating Party serves the other Party with advance written notice of 90 days (minimum 30 and maximum 90 calendar days).

Bankruptcy of Civil Company in Dubai – Impact on Partners and Landlord Execution Case
I am a partner in a civil company in Dubai that has accumulated rental dues of over 1 million. The landlord has obtained a judgment and filed an execution case that includes travel bans, arrest orders, and licence freezes against the company and its partners.
I want to understand the legal and practical implications of initiating bankruptcy proceedings for the civil company under UAE law:
Can a civil company file for bankruptcy in the UAE, or must the partners do so individually?
What is the impact on existing execution cases—the one filed by the landlord to recover unpaid rent?
Will travel bans and arrest warrants issued against partners be lifted automatically upon filing or approval of bankruptcy?
Is bankruptcy advisable in cases where the only major creditor is the landlord pursuing rent recovery?
Are all partners jointly and severally liable even after bankruptcy is filed?

What can you do if the bank filed a case against despite paying the loan by insurance after losing job? 0
Hello Sir,
My friend had a large personal loan and paid installments for 1.5 years before losing his job.
A criminal case was filed in 2019, but he was cleared with a fine as the judge accepted that job loss insurance covered the loan. Funds were credited (shown in the statement & SMS), and customer service confirmed twice that the loan was cleared.
He also paid AED 10K+ interest for the insurance. A year later, a cheque case was filed by a debt company and bank—he won with the same documents. Now, in Jan 2025, the bank filed a commercial case.
The court appointed an expert, but the expert ignored his evidence. he showed that a key page of the contract (stating job loss insurance) was missing from the bank’s submission.
The bank told the expert the credited amount was a “loan write-off,” but gave no proof. The expert never investigated his findings.
I need advice on whether this verdict can be appealed and whether it’s worth pursuing further. My friend is in India now

تقدمت لاستخراج شهادة بحث الحالة فظهرت قضية قديمة في سجلاتي. كيف يمكنني إزالتها؟ 0
مرحبًا، السلام عليكم،
لقد تقدمت للالتحاق بـالقوات المسلحة الإماراتية، وعند استخراج شهادة بحث الحالة الجنائية/شهادة حسن السيرة والسلوك باسم جهة الطلب (وزارة الدفاع)، ظهرت قضية قديمة لي.
القضية هي جنحة بسيطة عندما كنت حدثًا، وتم إيداعي بموجبها في دار الملاحظة. استخرجت صورة الحكم الخاصة بها، والصادرة بتاريخ 2012، ونحن الآن في 2025.
فبعد مرور أكثر من 10 سنوات، لا تزال القضية موجودة في سجلي الجنائي، رغم صدور كفّ البحث، وكوني كنت حدثًا، ومر على الواقعة أكثر من 5 أعوام.
كنت أتساءل:
هل من الممكن محوها بأي طريقة، واستخراج شهادة نظيفة؟
عندما ذهبت إلى مركز التسهيل لتقديم طلب شطب، أخبروني أن الخيار الوحيد المتاح هو تقديم طلب رد اعتبار.
الحكم الصادر هو:
بالنسبة للقضيتين رقم [-----] جزائي الأسرة، بمعاقبة المتهم بالإيداع في دور التربية والإصلاح.
أخبرني الضابط المسؤول عن شهادات حسن السيرة والسلوك أنه لا يمكنه استخراج شهادة من أجل طلب الشطب لمحكمة بني ياس، ونصحني أن أبحث عن عمل خاص وأنسى موضوع العسكرية.
كيف يمكنني استخراج شهادة للمحكمة؟
