Good day! I am currently covered under the [-------] plan with [-----]. My marital status is still listed as single, but I am getting married on August 5. Due to unexpected travel issues, our original wedding date in June had to be rescheduled. I recently became pregnant and have already paid for my antenatal check-up package for the first trimester. After my wedding, I plan to submit my marriage certificate to update my status with the insurer. I would like to kindly ask for advice: will my current pregnancy affect my insurance coverage or status since I am not officially married yet? Could there be any risk of my insurance being canceled or any legal implications because of this timing? I appreciate your guidance and any clarification you can provide. Thank you very much for your support.

How can I lift the arrest warrant in an execution case if I have a criminal case hearing about the same cheque, which is in execution?

I recently won my case at MOHRE regarding the AED 6,000 training cost, which the company was not entitled to. I have now filed an execution request at Al Adheed on July 4, 2025, to claim my pending salary and visa cancellation, which were not provided within the legal 14-day period. As I do not have an Emirates ID yet, the report was submitted using my passport. I was informed I would receive a court fee payment link if the process pushes through. May I kindly ask: Will the execution proceed using my passport? How long does this process usually take? What should I expect next? Thank you for your assistance.

Colleagues, 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). The employee today expressed a desire not to extend the contract. But he didn't serve the required notice (90 days). What can we do in this case?

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?

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

I am writing to seek your legal advice regarding a complex immigration issue involving a person currently overstaying in Abu Dhabi. His visa has expired, and although he received a job offer from a company in January 2025, the new visa process has not moved forward due to outstanding fines. To resolve the issue, he applied to the court in November 2024 to request a reduction in the overstay fine. He received a notification/link in January 2025 to visit immigration, but unfortunately, he could not attend due to serious health issues related to uric acid, which left him unable to walk. Additionally, he was unable to seek medical help due to the lack of health insurance and severe financial difficulties. He is now in a position where he wants to regularize his status in the UAE, clear any pending issues, and find a job to support his family. We kindly request your guidance. We would greatly appreciate your support in helping to resolve this matter in the best possible way. Thank you

“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.

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?

Hello, I am purchasing an apartment in Dubai from a seller who originally bought this flat at an auction. There were outstanding service charges from the building management company prior to the auction. That pending amount was never updated on the Mollak system as a write-off, and until now, it appears as outstanding on the statement of account. When I buy this apartment, an NOC is being issued stating that there are no dues from the owner, and based on that, I intend to finalize the deal. I would like to know if, in the future, I may be asked to clear these pending service charges by the owners' association. The building management company is trying to clear the outstanding amount with Mollak, but it seems it’s taking a lot of time. What should I do?

Hello, I got a judgment from Dubai Court stating that the employer should do my settlement. It’s been years, but I still haven't received the payment in my account. When I checked with Al Adheed Center, they said if the company is not active, it’s not possible to get the money. However, it’s a group of companies, and a few branches are still running. Is there any chance to claim it, or can I appeal directly to the court?

Hello, My landlord vacated the property with 12 months' notice, stating he would live there himself. However, he started renting the property through the holiday homes system. Is a permit issued by the DTC for a holiday home valid proof to prove that he is renting and to claim compensation?

On Jan 2, 2025, one of my close friends did a privacy breach and recorded me and my van in some specific place. On Feb 5, when I called and asked him why he did this to me, he went and gave a complaint that I scolded him and threatened him. The same case was later closed by the PP when we negotiated outside the station and apologized. At this juncture, can I file a privacy breach case against him, which happened on Jan 2, 2025, and on Feb 5 I scolded him only for the privacy breach that happened on Jan 2?

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?

Hello, I hold a UAE residence visa (non-employment). I plan to work remotely from home for an IT company based in Europe, which has no presence or clients in the UAE. This is not freelance work for multiple clients, but a regular job for a single foreign employer. Payments will be sent monthly to my personal account in a Bank (in USD or AED). My questions are: - Can I legally carry out this activity without obtaining a freelance license or any additional permits? - Am I violating any visa or tax regulations in the UAE? - Is there any risk of bank account restrictions or penalties from the bank or UAE authorities? I would appreciate your legal advice. I’m happy to provide more details if needed. Best regards,

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؟

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.

Good morning, I have two kids. Their father is in critical care and is not able to communicate, and we have been divorced for more than seven years. The other side of the family is not communicating with the kids about the father's whereabouts for them to visit him, and they have not been in touch with the kids for the past two weeks due to family issues that took place in court regarding guardianship of the kids. How can I find a way for our kids to know what is going on with their father and his condition without reaching out to them, to avoid any further escalation? My daughter has tried to call them, but there was no response. Please advise!

Hello, What can I do if I was absent from the hearing because of improper information and they gave judgment in my absence?

I am working in the private sector, and currently I am in the probation period. I got a government job, so I submitted a one-month resignation notice. My current company rejected my one-month notice and ordered me to serve a three-month notice (as per the contract). I enquired with One Time Centre, and as per their advice, after one month, I can stop work and register a complaint against my company. For this matter, how will the UAE law help me to solve it?

Hello, The company has a policy allowing employees to work from home once per week. Now, employees are asking if overtime is applicable for those who work from home as well. Could you please clarify? Thank you!
