Can my employer charge me training fees even if I didn’t receive any certification?

Q: 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?

I purchased a unit and the seller did not tell me about the tenant security deposit. How to make the seller pay it back?

Q: I purchased a unit that had a tenancy contract. During the transfer, the agent calculated the remaining rent and got that from the previous owner and transferred the money to me. However, no one mentioned anything about the security deposit. Around 10 days after the transfer, I asked the agent about the deposit, then she started to contact the previous owner, but no answer. Now, the tenant is asking me for the deposit, and no one is able to contact the previous owner. What can I do?

Can a Muslim revert woman in the UAE obtain a Sharia divorce and remarry?

Q: Dear Legal Advisor, Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh, I recently reverted to Islam, and my marriage was solemnized in a civil court in the Philippines. There is no divorce law in the Philippines, and even if there were, it would take a significant amount of time and money. Could you please advise if I can file for divorce in the UAE through the Family Court or Sharia Court? What are the chances that my divorce will be granted? If the divorce is approved, am I permitted to remarry in the Sharia Court? Thank you for your kind attention to this matter!

I bought a villa in Dubai and the tenant did not pay all his bills and rent before leaving. Hot to claim that?

Q: 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?

Q: 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.

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

My brother had a case and cleared it but still have a trave ban. What to do to guarantee him?

Q: 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?

Can declaring bankruptcy protect civil company partners from rent-related travel bans?

Q: 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?

Can I legally work remotely from the UAE for a foreign employer without a freelance license?

Q: 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,

What can you do if the bank filed a case against despite paying the loan by insurance after losing job?

Q: 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 got limited supervised visits for my kids befor divorce and I want increased visitation. What to do?

Q: Last year, I filed an urgent petition for child visitation in Abu Dhabi Court before the divorce, when my wife left home. The divorce was then finalized 6 months later & for the past 15 months, I’ve had limited supervised visits of 6 hours every Saturday. I`m now seeking increased visitation (may be 2-3 days), including overnights, given my consistent payment of child alimony and the strong emotional bond I share with my child. As per Federal Law No. 41 of 2024, Article 121, Clause 1, the other parent may request overnight visitation, and if there`s no mutual agreement, the court will decide based on the child`s best interests. I need to know whether I should file a petition, order a case, or an FIC case to request expanded visitation rights. (I understand that both types of cases go through the FG procedure).
