0
Q: Hi
I have a question.
Last week, I settled my debt under the Amicable Settlement Center in Dubai Courts. The plaintiff acknowledged the receipt of the total payment from me.
However, it was also stipulated in the amicable settlement that the plaintiff needed to make sure the travel ban against me had to be cancelled immediately.
However, now one week later, he still hasn’t lifted the travel ban and isn’t responding to my call/message.
As I need to travel, I would like to know:
1. What can I do myself and how?
2. Is there any way I can make sure he honours his part of the settlement with urgency, as I need to travel next week?
Please advise.
Thank you

My brother had a case and cleared it but still have a trave ban. What to do to guarantee him?
0
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 I put a financial guarantee to remove a travel ban in a rental case at RDC?




0
Q: I used to work as a manager in a company, and my name was removed by the Dubai court of execution.
Now, on the paid rent, I got a travel ban, which I objected to at RDC.
The RDC accepted and gave the next hearing date, as I will have all the court papers.
Is there any way to remove the travel ban, as the objections I made at the execution hearing are next month, almost one month?
Is there any way you can put the amount as a deposit, and once the objection case is over, you can take it back?

How can I refund the deposit I paid to a car dealer if the receipt stated it is refundable? 0
Dear all,
I’m seeking legal advice regarding a refundable deposit of AED 1,000 paid to a car trading company around a year ago while considering the purchase of a used car.
The receipt clearly states the deposit was refundable at the time of purchase, but I ultimately did not proceed with buying a car from them.
Despite numerous follow-ups over the past year, I have not received any refund or official response.
Today, a representative informed me that the deposit is non-refundable if no car is purchased, which contradicts what is written on the receipt.
I would appreciate guidance on:
- Whether I have a legal claim based on the receipt wording
- What steps can I take to recover the amount through legal or consumer protection channels
Thank you for your assistance.
Best regards,
M.

Is there a possibiliyt of a travel ban against if my father got a ban due to a legal dispute? 0
I am contacting you to verify whether my name appears on a travel ban list for the United Arab Emirates.
To explain the situation: some time ago, I was in Dubai with my father and our family. Following a dispute regarding a vehicle bill — where the person involved acted, in our opinion, dishonestly and tried to charge us more than agreed — my father received a travel ban.
I would like to know if, as a result of this matter, I might also be subject to a travel ban, even though I was not directly involved in the dispute. We do not wish to pursue legal action, as it would be too costly, but I would like to ensure that I can travel freely to Dubai.
Could you please advise on the procedure or check my status?
I can provide my full name, nationality, and passport number to facilitate the verification.

I have a rental dispute judgment against me to vacate, but the landlord is not fullfilling his obligations. What to do? 0
Hi
I have a real estate rental dispute.
1) My rental dues have been wrongly quoted, and the same has to be corrected with the court and then paid off. I had taken it up with the landlord, but the Landlord's legal department and property manager are just not responding
2) I had been given a decision from the court to clear my items and hand over the custody of the flat, but the Landlord did not adhere to the court order, due to which the eviction happened.
3) The Landlord had paid some amount to the Court for the Items and now had reached out for payment to allow me to take the items.
I have paid the amount to his account directly, but he has now appointed an auction house to auction the items.
I have to take immediate action to stop the same and allow me to obtain the items or claim compensation.
