Can I travel to GCC countries if I have an unresolved credit loan in the UAE?

Q: Hello Everyone! I have a credit loan of around 40,000 AED in the UAE, and due to being jobless, I was unable to pay the installments. If a travel ban is imposed on me in the UAE because of this, will I still be able to travel to Saudi Arabia in 2025? I am very serious about paying and clearing my loans so I need clarity on whether the UAE travel bans extend to traveling to other GCC countries.

Can my employer extend my notice period without my consent?

Q: Hello, I am serving my notice period with my current employer, and the day after it ends, I am supposed to join the new company. However, my current employer is telling me they will extend the notice period due to pending work. The reason I`m resigning is that I have to work 12-14 hours a day on a 9-hour shift, and there has also been mistreatment from the supervisor. Can they extend my notice period without my approval?

Q: I`m on a UAE-dependent visa and have a consultancy contract for a global organization based out of the USA with no office in the UAE. Would I need a work permit in the UAE and if so, what type of permit? As I see all the permits seem to be relevant if the employer or supplier is UAE-based.

What to do if the partner you add on your license changes the terms without your consent?

Q: My wife has a license in Dubai. Later we took one partner for 50% of her license. My wife signed the MOU in Amer Center without reading the changes made by him in terms that were not agreed upon. Later when we checked the copy of the MOU, we found that he had removed her name as a manager and put his name. He mentioned 50% shareholder for each partner in the company but in profit and loss, he mentioned 75% for him and 25% for her and bank account authority also he took solely. We asked him to change the terms as we never discussed or agreed on those terms. But he has now full control of the license and is not ready to change the MOU terms. Is there any legal way to compel him to change MOU terms?

Can a black-and-white trademark registration provide protection for all color variations of a logo?

Q: We are currently reviewing trademark registration strategies for the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and seeking expert confirmation on a specific matter. It is generally understood that registering a trademark in black and white in the UAE provides protection across all color variations of the logo. This approach aligns with international norms. While the UAE’s Federal Decree-Law No. 36 of 2021 on Trademarks does not explicitly state that black-and-white registrations cover all colors, this practice is widely accepted and typically adhered to by the UAE Ministry of Economy’s Intellectual Property department. Could you please confirm if a black-and-white trademark registration in the UAE indeed provides protection for all color variations of a logo, specifically regarding the broad protection scope covering the mark’s shape, design, and layout?

Can Dubai Courts take steps to ensure that I see my child as per the joint custody order?

Q: I have shared joint custody orders issued in France for my child, which are recognized and enforced by Dubai Courts. Unfortunately, I haven`t been able to see my 3-year-old child for several months due to the mother’s non-compliance with the handover arrangement, despite fines being imposed for these violations. The police are assisting in supervising the handover process; however, because it takes place in the presence of the mother, it has become challenging. At only 3 years old, the child is too young to form an independent opinion about these arrangements and is currently under the mother’s influence. This raises concerns about ensuring the custody orders are effectively implemented. To my understanding, the police are limited to a supervisory role and may not have the authority to enforce the physical handover. Can Dubai Courts take steps to ensure the handover is carried out as ordered? If so, how would this process be enforced to uphold the custody arrangement?

Can I use someone else's account to issue a manager's cheque for a property purchase?

Can I then present that cheque while completing the transfer by physically attending myself?

How can an investor exit the UAE with unpaid Free Zone fines and limited funds?

Q: Dear Lawyers, I am an investor and have a fine exceeding 10k. I applied for an exit permit under the current amnesty, but it was not approved. I was advised to cancel the facility card. To do so, I need to cancel the license and pay the immigration card fine, which has been expired since September 2023. My company is a Free Zone company in Shams with three visas under the license. I am willing to return home with an exit permit. However, I don’t have enough money—only a small amount that is not sufficient to cover all the fines and visa cancellation fees. Free Zone costs are much higher than those in the mainland. Please advise on the best option I should follow to exit.

Am I obligated to settle compensation for the rent difference after evicting a tenant at their request?

Q: Dear Lawyers, I served an eviction notice to the tenant at his own request for repossession of my property. Unfortunately, due to my medical condition, I had to rent my property to a new tenant. My former tenant is claiming compensation, which I am ready to settle, but I feel his claim is unfair. He is claiming the difference between the old rental amount he was paying and the new rental amount contracted by me with the new tenant for my property, in addition to the moving expenses. I believe it is only fair to pay the difference between the old rental amount and the new rental amount the former tenant is paying for the new property he has leased with his new landlord, plus the expenses he incurred for moving into his new property. Please advise which of the above amounts I need to settle!

How can I maintain a travel ban on an LLC manager in a labor case despite claims of independence?

Q: Dear Lawyers, A labor case has been in the execution phase for the past eight months. I have pursued various enforcement actions, including blocking bank accounts, placing inquiries and holds on properties, and blocking the traffic file. I’ve also requested inquiries and holds on trade licenses. However, the defendant did not respond. Eventually, I requested a travel ban on the manager, which the court approved. This prompted the defendant to argue that, as an LLC, the court cannot impose a travel ban on the manager, citing independence issues and similar arguments. Now, the court has asked me to respond. Could you advise me on how to argue to keep the travel ban in effect? The manager’s personal accountability as a representative of the LLC and the prolonged non-response from the company. Evidence showing that the defendant’s non-responsiveness justifies such measures to ensure enforcement. Legal precedents or arguments demonstrating that the travel ban is a legitimate enforcement action under similar circumstances.

Can I sue my landlord if he cuts off DEWA and forces me to leave before my non-Ejari contract ends?

Q: Dear Lawyers, I rented a studio on a monthly basis, and my rent included all utilities and bills, with a contract that isn’t Ejari. Now, the landlord has cut off the DEWA and is asking me to vacate the unit and take the rest of my rent three months before the contract expires. Is there any legal action I can take against him?

My landlord increased my rent more than RERA Index and refused my offer and deposit. What to do?

Q: Good morning, My landlord notified me 90 days before my contract’s end of a 15% rent increase, raising it from AED 55,000 to AED 63,250. However, according to the RERA index, the maximum increase should be 5%. I tried to negotiate, but they refused. On October 15, I made an offer and deposit of AED 57,250 (including the RERA-approved increase). The judge accepted it, but the landlord rejected it, claiming their other 1-bedroom units rent for AED 75,000. My contract expired on October 31, 2024. Recently, the landlord emailed saying I’m now staying illegally and will be charged AED 100 per day for not signing a new contract. Last week, I requested a new contract based on the RERA index, but they responded by refusing my offer and deposit, demanding full payment. My question: Should I be concerned, or should I let them pursue a case? Or just wait and see? Thank you for your assistance.

The landlord insists on increasing the rent more than RERA Index. What can I do?

Q: Hi everyone, I’m facing an issue with my rental situation and would appreciate any advice. I purchased a company in July that’s renting a shop space, and the tenancy contract (under the company’s name) is ending on November 22. The landlord is insisting on a 40% rent increase, even though the RERA Index clearly indicates a 0% increase for this area. I’ve informed the landlord that this increase isn’t in line with RERA regulations, requested a new contract, and asked him to come by to collect the cheques—but he’s been unresponsive. To protect our position, I filed an offer and deposit with the rental dispute center, but it was automatically closed because the landlord didn’t respond. My question is: what should I do next? Filing a case for renewal will cost 5% of the rent, which is a significant amount right now. Are there any alternatives to proceed without incurring that cost, or any other steps to ensure the landlord adheres to the regulated rental terms?
