3 متاح 3 • عرض الجميعHow can I appeal a case if I missed the hearing and defending myself?
Q: I had a misdemeanor case in Dubai last January 28, 2023, then I was released on January 30 after a judge hearing.
Now the judge asks me to submit a translated Arabic appeal letter for my explanation and seek help from the police officers.
Unfortunately, no one can help me and assist me. They just released me the same day right away after the hearing without submitting my appeal.
Then, they told me to wait for a call from Dubai Courts. Unfortunately, after waiting, no one called me so I followed up after a couple of days, but still no one replied to me.
I even mailed the Dubai Police and they just said it was forwarded already to the HQ. I have to wait for a call. 2 weeks ago I received a call from them from Barsha telling me that I have to go to Dubai Courts.
Then when I checked online, I found out that there is already a final judgment of 1 month of jail and deportation.
Ma'am/Sir, I need to defend myself and submit an appeal because I have valid reasons why things happened at that time.

1 متاح 1 • عرض الجميعThe Accused is Innocent Until Proven Guilty
In a criminal proceeding, the standard of proof to uphold a conviction is beyond a reasonable doubt. The prosecution has the duty of establishing the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt in a criminal proceeding. This implies that the prosecution has to persuade the court that the evidence used in the trial cannot lead to any other plausible conclusion.

عرض الجميعTerminated without warning for unsatisfactory performance. What are my rights?
Hello,
I have been terminated by my employer suddenly with the reason of unsatisfactory performance; however, I did not receive any feedback in this area.
In fact, I received an increment last month with no prior warning letters. I am really shocked by this decision, and during the meeting, I was pressured by the line manager and HR Director, due to which I got overwhelmed and signed the termination.
They gave me a 3-month notice period under Article 43. Also, in my EOS calculation, they only included the gratuity but did not add the annual leave pay or the 3-month notice period salary.
It’s my third year in the organization, and I am on company sponsorship under a limited contract. I want to know my rights as an employee and what action I should take in this regard.

Can I cancel the deal if an advertised 2-bedroom apartment is officially a 1-bedroom?
Hello,
I'm in the process of buying an apartment. The apartment was listed as a 2-bed, and when I asked to see the floor plan, it was marked as a 1-bed.
I was told by the agent that this was a mistake/mislabel and that the seller is trying to get it fixed. In the process of obtaining the NOC from the developer, the apartment was again listed as a 1-bed, and when I asked for it to be updated, the developer mentioned that the apartment is officially registered as a 1-bed.
Since it was spacious, it was offered as an internal modification, but the official classification is 1-bed and that can't be changed. I checked with the DLD, and the apartment is registered as a 1-bed as well.
I was not aware of any modifications and was not told any of this by the agent when signing Form F.
Are the above facts grounds for me to back out of the deal, or does the classification not matter in this case?

عرض الجميعWhat can you do if you get arrested for carrying prohibited substances at the airport?
Hello,
My brother's brother-in-law was arrested at Fujairah Airport, as he was carrying 25 bottles (each of 10 Grams) of new shama kamini vidrawan ras.
This is an ayurvedic formulation that promotes sexual wellness. The ingredients help to enhance libido in men.
As he (brother's brother-in-law) informed police that my brother asked him to carry this ayurvedic medicine, as he (my brother) wanted to gift it to his few friends, as this is cheaper in India.
As of now, both my brother and his brother-in-law are arrested by police stating that this medicine contains drugs and is kept in Fujairah Central Jail.
It's been more than 15 days since my brother's brother-in-law (arrested on 26th June), and more than one week since my brother's arrest (6th July).
Now, I don't have any idea or information about what will happen and what the current status is.
Your kind advice and help will be highly appreciated.

Visa cancelled, salary unpaid. How to check if my UAE employer filed absconding?
Hello,
My visa has automatically been closed since I’m outside the UAE. But my company didn’t pay me the final month’s salary and settlement.
I submitted my resignation from outside the UAE, as the company suggested I take a leave instead when I resigned from there.
Now I filed a complaint through MOHRE customer service for the salary, but the response was that they couldn’t find any issue. I’m not sure how the company cancelled my visa without clearing the payment.
How can I check if they have filed an absconding case?

The agent promised me cashback, but he’s left the company and they won’t pay. What can I do?
Hello,
An agent from a company in the housing space promised me a percentage cashback from the brokerage if I booked the house through him.
He sent this understanding via both his company and personal email. After regular follow-ups, he paid a certain percentage but claims the company is not willing to release the remaining amount.
The agent has since left the organization and started his own business, and I am left hanging to deal with the company on my own. I have never visited or had any contact within the company.
Please help or guide me in the right direction, as the amount is my hard-earned lifetime savings and is considerably large.

Can I get my overstay fines waived after a case was recently closed?
Hi,
I would like to seek legal assistance. I am currently overstaying due to a complaint registered against me last year, which was not closed even after it was settled.
Only today, I received a letter from Dubai Prosecution about the lifting of my travel ban and the closure of the case. Is there any way I can file to claim a waiver for my fines or at least a fine reduction?
I only came to know about this case/complaint when I was trying to renew my visa last April, and due to this, I was not able to renew it on time.
Please assist.
Thank you!

Can a CEO sue for defamation just because I reported his misconduct to HR?
Hello,
I work in Abu Dhabi in a non-managerial position. I got into an argument with the CEO of the company, as he was blaming me for something that was not my fault or within my control.
He then proceeded to tell me I would be written up for it. My immediate manager is on leave, so I informed him and went to HR to file a complaint of wrongdoing.
He then immediately terminated me and told me that he would sue me for defamation. How is it defamation when I only brought the incident to the notice of the two people who are supposed to be involved anyway?
Who do I speak to, and can I take him to court?

They gave me a 3-month notice period under Article 43. Also, in my EOS calculation, they only included the gratuity but did not add the annual leave pay or the 3-month notice period salary.
It’s my third year in the organization, and I am on company sponsorship under a limited contract. I want to know my rights as an employee and what action I should take in this regard.

Can I appeal to recover the fines paid for hiring an employee on a visit visa?
Hello,
I have received a fine of 50K as an owner for appointing an employee on a visiting visa, and the employee received a 10K fine. It has been paid.
Please advise if there is any possibility of getting this money back by appeal.
This is my first fine ever, and the employee’s visa has now been stamped.

Can my employer charge me training fees even if I didn’t receive any certification?
Hello,
The Second Party shall be obliged to pay back the value of the training (which is estimated at AED 10,000) if they terminate the employment contract of their own free will within one year from the date of commencement, without prejudice to the First Party's legal or contractual obligations. (The amount agreed upon for the value of the training period must be commensurate with the employee’s period of employment.)
I have that clause in my labour contract regarding the training fees, but despite completing 359 days of service with the company, I have not received any such certification from them.
Now, the company is refusing to cancel my employment and is demanding that I pay AED 10,000. In response, I filed a complaint with the Labour Department requesting the cancellation of my labour card.
However, the process is being delayed, and meanwhile, the company has filed a counter-complaint against me, demanding the full AED 10,000.
What can I do?

Is it legally acceptable to give birth in the UAE if the mother is single?
Hello,
Is it okay to give birth in the UAE if the mother is single and the father is married?
Will there be any problem with that, as long as the parents declare that they are the biological parents to obtain the child's birth certificate?

If acquitted by the appeal court, is the travel ban and wanted status automatically removed?
Hello,
If acquitted by the appeal court, is the travel ban and wanted status automatically removed? I mean, an innocent verdict was issued by the first instance court, then it was appealed, and after that, the travel ban was there.
Now, the appeal court has issued an acquittal from all charges; so is the travel ban still there, or is it automatically removed after the judgment is issued?

عرض الجميعWhat can you do if you get arrested for carrying prohibited substances at the airport?
Hello,
My brother's brother-in-law was arrested at Fujairah Airport, as he was carrying 25 bottles (each of 10 Grams) of new shama kamini vidrawan ras.
This is an ayurvedic formulation that promotes sexual wellness. The ingredients help to enhance libido in men.
As he (brother's brother-in-law) informed police that my brother asked him to carry this ayurvedic medicine, as he (my brother) wanted to gift it to his few friends, as this is cheaper in India.
As of now, both my brother and his brother-in-law are arrested by police stating that this medicine contains drugs and is kept in Fujairah Central Jail.
It's been more than 15 days since my brother's brother-in-law (arrested on 26th June), and more than one week since my brother's arrest (6th July).
Now, I don't have any idea or information about what will happen and what the current status is.
Your kind advice and help will be highly appreciated.
Thank you.

Visa cancelled, salary unpaid. How to check if my UAE employer filed absconding?
Hello,
My visa has automatically been closed since I’m outside the UAE. But my company didn’t pay me the final month’s salary and settlement.
I submitted my resignation from outside the UAE, as the company suggested I take a leave instead when I resigned from there.
Now I filed a complaint through MOHRE customer service for the salary, but the response was that they couldn’t find any issue. I’m not sure how the company cancelled my visa without clearing the payment.
How can I check if they have filed an absconding case?
