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?

I settled and paid my debt in Dubai Courts but the travel ban is still acitve after one week. How to lift it?


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

Q: Asalamualekum,
Please help me understand how much time it will take for the Dubai court to lift the travel ban once my cheque execution case is dismissed.
I have paid almost 70% of the loan amount and am ready to settle with the bank by paying some amount, but the bank wants me to pay 200,000 when the loan amount was only 148,000.

Can I change jobs while a work site accident investigation is ongoing and I am the manager? 0
Good day
I am involved in a police investigation due to an accident that happened at work.
I was not on the site; however, because I am the region manager, I am automatically involved in the case.
I potentially got an opportunity to work for a different company.
My question is, can I change jobs while the investigation is still ongoing?

Legal advice needed on out-pass exit permit & spouse visa process 0
Subject:
Hello,
My name is M. R. F. Z., a Sri Lankan national currently in Dubai. I urgently require legal guidance regarding my immigration status and next steps. Briefly:
An out-pass was issued without my knowledge due to visa complications.
I need to exit the UAE on this out-pass and explore options to return on a visit visa, then adjust status to a spouse residence visa (by status change).
I am uncertain whether it is mandatory for me to fly back to Sri Lanka, or if I can exit to a nearby country such as Oman or another GCC country and re-enter for the spouse visa process.
Due to family circumstances, it is very difficult for me to travel to Sri Lanka at this time, so I would strongly prefer the nearest country option if legally possible.
Could you please let me know if your firm handles such cases?
If so, what is your consultation fee and availability for an initial discussion?

My roommate assaulted me and tried to strangle me then she called the police claiming I attacked her. What to do? 0
I fought with my roommate. She started the fight by banging my head against the wall and strangling my neck.
I was unable to breathe and remove her hands, so in order to save myself, I bit her hand. I was new in the UAE and didn’t know how to call the police.
But she, being well aware of this, called the police, and the police are accusing me that you hit her, saying she had wounds.
But my right eye is under treatment, and I can’t see properly from that eye. My face has all wounds.

The previous landlord gave us a notice of eviction and sold the property. Do we still have to vacate on time? 0
Let me rephrase my question.
The previous landlord gave a notice of eviction in November 2024, according to all the rules. I received it by SMS and email.
Now we have a different landlord, do we still have to move out of the rented accommodation in November 2025?

My husband's family want to send me and my kids back to my country. What to do? 0
Hi
My husband is working in his uncle’s company in Dubai with a salary of AED 8,000 monthly. I am not earning. During the 12th board, they told us to go to India, but we said we did not want to go.
Before, one time we went, so my husband’s uncle told him not to pay the rent, saying once they come to the road, they will go to India. My husband kept on saying he would pay the rent.
One day we came to the road for not paying rent, and we stayed the whole night in the car, then went to a hotel. After that, the uncle’s family took us to their house to talk.
The kids did not want to go to their house because, for the last four years, they have threatened to cancel our visas.
So they stood on the road waiting for me and told me that if I didn’t want to go to India, then he would pay rent only for one year, and other than that, I should not ask him for anything.
He told me to write and sign that everything else I have to handle. I refused, and the uncle was yelling at me. I came out and waited for my husband for a long time, but he did not come, so we went to a hotel.
Now it has been 8 months, he is not giving any money for our expenses, and he took my savings of 25,000 AED by cheating.

I got involved in a bar fight and wrongfully accused of assault and other charges. What to do? 0
I have a misdemeanor case under investigation. What can I do and what can I expect?
I got involved in a bar fight when my friend was punched in the face by the complainant. When I was about to approach him to ask him about it, he shoved me in the head.
I lost balance and I grabbed him, and we both fell down, then my friend and his colleagues started beating him.
CID called me for an interview, telling me that the guy complained about his watch, which I didn't steal. Then he also complained about the harassment. Which I didn't do as well.
Now, the report is saying that I have charges of indecent assault, public intoxication, causing a riot, and public cursing.
Please help me decide what to do!
I'm considering hiring a criminal lawyer to help me with this.
