If the Public Prosecution appeals a not-guilty verdict with no new evidence, will it stay the same? 0
Hi Sir,
My husband had a judgment where he was found not guilty, as the misdemeanor court stated that it doubts the charges against the accused and found no conclusive evidence except the statements in the report files.
The court considered this invalid because there was no translator. After this, if the Public Prosecution appeals, will the verdict remain unchanged and be upheld if there is nothing more than this
Can you shed some light from your experience on this issue and say if the result will remain the same?

I bought a villa in Dubai and the tenant did not pay all his bills and rent before leaving. Hot to claim that? 0
I seek advice on a Dubai property case.
I bought a villa in Sept. 2024, which had a tenant with an expired lease in Aug. The sales contract mentioned that the house was tenanted and mentioned August as the lease expiry.
I proceeded to RDC for the case of the tenant not paying the rent. The tenant lost the case. He paid rent and got a retrospective letter signed by the seller saying he vacated Sept 22, 2024, after filing for an appeal.
The RDC ruled in his favor and said the rent owed was only till Sept 22, despite DEWA running till Oct 1.
I want to know if
1. I can appeal to the Cassation
2. Options for action against the seller for selling the villa without disclosing the information about the tenant's eviction
3. The tenant had stayed in the villa beyond Sept 22, as he had maintained his DEWA and domestic helpers confirmed his vacancy to me
4. What is the legal recourse?
5. How much would it cost, including fees to open the case and lawyer fees?
6. How much compensation can be expected?

Are employers required to pay redundancy compensation for terminations due to restructuring? 0
Hello,
A company with entities and employees in the UAE (specifically in Dubai Mainland and JAFZA) terminates employees due to company restructuring initiated for business convenience, and not due to insolvency, financial distress, or bankruptcy.
I understand that, under UAE labour law, the following payments are typically due:
- End-of-service gratuity (in accordance with UAE Labour Law and/or JAFZA regulations);
- Payment for any accrued but unused leave;
- Compensation for the notice period, if waived; and
- Any outstanding contractual entitlements or dues.
The main question is as follows:
In the context of restructuring-based terminations, is there any legal obligation, or prevailing legal or customary practice, to pay a separate “redundancy payment” or severance beyond the items listed above?
I would appreciate it if you could clarify this with reference to applicable UAE Labour Law, Executive Regulations, Ministerial Resolutions, and JAFZA-specific employment regulations, where relevant.

عرض الجميعWhat 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؟

What can I do if the real estate management is not fixing the issue of blocking noise in my apartment? 0
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!

I posted a review for a piercing shop, and they threatened me to file a defamation case against me. What to do? 0
I recently posted a review for a piercing shop, and they threatened to file a defamation case against me. I didn't get it first. Their customer service was rude, and when I posted a review about it, they said they would file a complaint.
I basically said I gave them one star, and I said whenever I have gone to their Instagram page to ask questions, they have been rude to me.
Probably they don't want to answer or they are irritated by my questions for improving their customer service, especially for their clients who paid you for piercings!
This is my review. I want to ask, is this illegal and considered defamation?
Don't I have a right to post reviews?

Am I liable for the previous owner’s unpaid service charges when buying a Dubai property? 0
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?

In the context of restructuring-based terminations, is there any legal obligation, or prevailing legal or customary practice, to pay a separate “redundancy payment” or severance beyond the items listed above?
I would appreciate it if you could clarify this with reference to applicable UAE Labour Law, Executive Regulations, Ministerial Resolutions, and JAFZA-specific employment regulations, where relevant.

عرض الجميعI had pending bank loans and credit card dues. If I apply for a visit visa from outside, will it get approved? 0
I had pending bank loans and credit card dues, and I am outside the UAE.
Surely there will be a police case and also a travel ban.
Under these circumstances, if I apply for a visit visa from outside, will it get approved?

Can I evict a tenant and refuse renewal if rent has not been paid in full? 0
Hello,
I am a landlord. The tenant failed to pay the rent in one full payment as per the contract.
So far, 3 months remain until the expiry date of the contract, and the payment is still pending.
Do I have the right to evict the tenant from the apartment and refuse to renew the tenancy contract?

I bought a villa in Dubai and the tenant did not pay all his bills and rent before leaving. Hot to claim that? 0
I seek advice on a Dubai property case.
I bought a villa in Sept. 2024, which had a tenant with an expired lease in Aug. The sales contract mentioned that the house was tenanted and mentioned August as the lease expiry.
I proceeded to RDC for the case of the tenant not paying the rent. The tenant lost the case. He paid rent and got a retrospective letter signed by the seller saying he vacated Sept 22, 2024, after filing for an appeal.
The RDC ruled in his favor and said the rent owed was only till Sept 22, despite DEWA running till Oct 1.
I want to know if
1. I can appeal to the Cassation
2. Options for action against the seller for selling the villa without disclosing the information about the tenant's eviction
3. The tenant had stayed in the villa beyond Sept 22, as he had maintained his DEWA and domestic helpers confirmed his vacancy to me
4. What is the legal recourse?
5. How much would it cost, including fees to open the case and lawyer fees?
6. How much compensation can be expected?

I posted a review for a piercing shop, and they threatened me to file a defamation case against me. What to do? 0
I recently posted a review for a piercing shop, and they threatened to file a defamation case against me. I didn't get it first. Their customer service was rude, and when I posted a review about it, they said they would file a complaint.
I basically said I gave them one star, and I said whenever I have gone to their Instagram page to ask questions, they have been rude to me.
Probably they don't want to answer or they are irritated by my questions for improving their customer service, especially for their clients who paid you for piercings!
This is my review. I want to ask, is this illegal and considered defamation?
Don't I have a right to post reviews?

Can U.S. debts lead to a UAE visa denial? 0
Hello,
I live in the United States, and I have to travel to the UAE for work.
My visa was revoked, and I was told it was due to outstanding debts here in the US.
Is it true that my debts in the US can cause my visa to be denied?

Will my current pregnancy affect my insurance coverage or status since I am not officially married yet? 0
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.

When can I expect the court of execution to pay my labor dues after winning the case for training cost? 0
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.
