1
Q: Hi,
In a commercial case filed against me by my partner, an expert report has been issued against me, as the expert neglected my documents, even though they were critical evidence in the dispute.
I have submitted a memo to the court outlining my objections to the report. What are the chances of the judgment going against me?
Is there a possibility that the judge might return the report to the expert or appoint another one?
Lastly, if the judgment goes against me and I file an appeal, would the appellate court appoint a new expert?

I filed a case against a person but the court ordered the payment of a smaller amount. Can I appeal?




0
Q: I filed a case against a person who took my money and the court assigned an expert but the expert ignored more real evidence and reported to the court even though I sent a comment to the expert that I did not accept it.
Anyway, the court has given a decision and I won the case but for a smaller amount.
My question is can I appeal this judgment to get a correction on the amount or it is better to make a civil case for the amount again?

Can I file a complaint against my company for discrimination between employees? 0
I am working in the UAE and facing issues of workplace favoritism and possible discrimination.
Despite being a consistent top performer with many years of experience, I was rejected for a promotion that was instead given to someone with less experience and weaker performance.
When I asked for feedback, I was given contradictory and false reasons, including being told that HR rejected me based on “how I sat in the interview,” even though it was an audio-only call.
I was also told that promotions are not based on performance but on whether I had the “manager’s blessings.”
In addition, I have observed:
- Promotions are repeatedly going to people from the same community or close to managers.
- Most of the management team belongs to one community.
- Shift schedules are being changed after release to favor certain individuals.
This has created a toxic environment with no fair career growth opportunities.
My question is, under UAE labor law, do I have grounds to challenge this type of favoritism?

How to enforce a catch order on a tenant back in Dubai despite a travel ban? 0
Good morning,
I am a landlord in a case against my tenant, who has been evicted due to non-payment of rent. The court has already issued the eviction order and provided me with a list of the tenant’s furniture. I also applied for a travel ban and license blocks against the tenant.
However, I recently found out that the tenant is currently in Dubai. Since I already have a catch order from the court, could you please advise me on the following:
1. How is it possible for the tenant to re-enter the UAE despite the travel ban and catch order?
2. What is the procedure for me to follow up and activate the catch order now that the tenant is in Dubai?
3. What further steps can we take to ensure the payment settlement is enforced?
I would appreciate your urgent guidance on this matter.

Can an employee leave without notice during probation if the salary is delayed? 0
Hello,
I understand that if salary is pending for more than two months, an employee can leave the company without serving the notice period. Please correct me if I am wrong.
If an employee resigns in such a scenario (due to two months of pending salary) during probation and joins another company, can the previous employer claim reimbursement of recruitment and visa expenses from the new employer?

What to do if you received judgment in absentia of fine and jail in a case after obtaining Tanazul? 0
What does “Dispositioned” mean in a UAE - Abu Dhabi case?
We have a Tanazul, but the case status is showing Judgment Done, with a 15,000 AED fine and 6 months' prison reserved. Does this mean he will go to prison?
We missed one hearing on 28/08/2025. After that, we thought we had Tanazul, so we went to collect the passport, as I am the surety for my father. However, at the police station, they stopped him, saying he had a Tameem.
Please help and advise what will happen. We have Tanazul, but the judgment is already done, and no appeal has been filed yet.

I was misled during the purchase of my off-plan apartment in Dubai. Can I claim compensation? 0
I believe I was misled during the purchase of my off-plan apartment in Dubai.
The sales manager strongly emphasized that the unit had a lagoon view and Burj Khalifa from the side, which was a key factor in my decision.
This lagoon view was even shown on their internal sales system, but it was never written into the official Sales and Purchase Agreement (SPA).
After the handover, I discovered the apartment has no such view. I have supporting evidence, including WhatsApp messages, voice notes, and brochures that clearly mention the lagoon view.
This misrepresentation caused me financial loss, since when I tried to resell, the value was much lower without the promised view.
My questions are: based on these facts, do I have a strong legal case for misrepresentation?
Can I realistically claim compensation or a partial refund?
What steps and documents are required to evaluate the case properly?
Also, would like to know an estimate of the cost and expected time for such proceedings.

My brother was arrested in a car for possession of only 2g of drugs. What is the maximum penalty he could face? 0
Dear Sir/Madam,
I need help, please!
My brother was arrested in a car for possession of only 2g of drugs. The police charged him with possession and usage in Umm Al-Quwain.
The transaction amount was only 400. But my brother did not have any possessions; he had only borrowed money.
Another charge is that he helped a friend use drugs, but he did not help anyone. That friend is older than my brother.
May I know if this is also considered an offence, and what is the maximum penalty he could face?
He is also a first-time offender in a drug case.

Am I entitled to full 3 months’ pay with benefits plus EOS gratuity after sudden termination? 0
Hello,
I have been working at a company in DMCC for nearly 5 years. I work in sales with varying annual results, ranging from overachieving to underachieving in a difficult market.
This year, my manager gave me a very high target and lower targets to my colleagues. Our sales are mostly achieved in the last 3 months of the year when companies finally spend their annual budget.
Now, my manager has suddenly decided to terminate me without any warning because of performance issues. They are offering to pay the minimum end-of-service gratuity plus 3 months’ basic salary and unpaid leave days.
Am I entitled to 3 months’ full pay, including benefits, in addition to the End of Service gratuity and unpaid leave days?

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?

How to enforce a catch order on a tenant back in Dubai despite a travel ban? 0
Good morning,
I am a landlord in a case against my tenant, who has been evicted due to non-payment of rent. The court has already issued the eviction order and provided me with a list of the tenant’s furniture. I also applied for a travel ban and license blocks against the tenant.
However, I recently found out that the tenant is currently in Dubai. Since I already have a catch order from the court, could you please advise me on the following:
1. How is it possible for the tenant to re-enter the UAE despite the travel ban and catch order?
2. What is the procedure for me to follow up and activate the catch order now that the tenant is in Dubai?
3. What further steps can we take to ensure the payment settlement is enforced?
I would appreciate your urgent guidance on this matter.
Thanks!

My brother was arrested in a car for possession of only 2g of drugs. What is the maximum penalty he could face? 0
Dear Sir/Madam,
I need help, please!
My brother was arrested in a car for possession of only 2g of drugs. The police charged him with possession and usage in Umm Al-Quwain.
The transaction amount was only 400. But my brother did not have any possessions; he had only borrowed money.
Another charge is that he helped a friend use drugs, but he did not help anyone. That friend is older than my brother.
May I know if this is also considered an offence, and what is the maximum penalty he could face?
He is also a first-time offender in a drug case.

How can I make an offer and deposit for a returned rental cheque? 0
My cheque has been returned. RDC informed me that I can make an offer and deposit for the returned cheque.
Does anyone know how this works?
They said it is different from the offer and deposit you do prior to renewal, where you wait 5 days.
With this type of offer and deposit, you can hand over the cheque to RDC.
Please advise.

My bank accounts were blocked in the execution of cheque criminal cases. How to unblock them? 0
I urgently need legal assistance in Dubai.
I'm facing multiple execution cases, a criminal complaint for a bounced cheque, and several personal debts under agreements. The total amount is around AED 500,000.
Due to execution orders, my UAE bank accounts are blocked, some with negative balances from cheque enforcement, making it impossible to use them for settlements.
I do have international accounts and can withdraw up to AED 35,000 per day, of which I am ready to allocate AED 30,000 daily for settlements and legal fees.
I am looking for a licensed lawyer or firm that can represent me in all these cases, negotiate with creditors, assist in making payments (either via courts, banks, or through your office), and provide a clear roadmap to resolve everything.
I also need guidance on how long banks will take to unblock accounts and clear negative balances after settlement.
If I pay the bank directly, will the accounts be immediately restored and cases closed? Please share your fee estimate.

Can I file a complaint against my company for discrimination between employees? 0
I am working in the UAE and facing issues of workplace favoritism and possible discrimination.
Despite being a consistent top performer with many years of experience, I was rejected for a promotion that was instead given to someone with less experience and weaker performance.
When I asked for feedback, I was given contradictory and false reasons, including being told that HR rejected me based on “how I sat in the interview,” even though it was an audio-only call.
I was also told that promotions are not based on performance but on whether I had the “manager’s blessings.”
In addition, I have observed:
- Promotions are repeatedly going to people from the same community or close to managers.
- Most of the management team belongs to one community.
- Shift schedules are being changed after release to favor certain individuals.
This has created a toxic environment with no fair career growth opportunities.
My question is, under UAE labor law, do I have grounds to challenge this type of favoritism?

I was misled during the purchase of my off-plan apartment in Dubai. Can I claim compensation? 0
I believe I was misled during the purchase of my off-plan apartment in Dubai.
The sales manager strongly emphasized that the unit had a lagoon view and Burj Khalifa from the side, which was a key factor in my decision.
This lagoon view was even shown on their internal sales system, but it was never written into the official Sales and Purchase Agreement (SPA).
After the handover, I discovered the apartment has no such view. I have supporting evidence, including WhatsApp messages, voice notes, and brochures that clearly mention the lagoon view.
This misrepresentation caused me financial loss, since when I tried to resell, the value was much lower without the promised view.
My questions are: based on these facts, do I have a strong legal case for misrepresentation?
Can I realistically claim compensation or a partial refund?
What steps and documents are required to evaluate the case properly?
Also, would like to know an estimate of the cost and expected time for such proceedings.

Hi,
My vehicle was involved in an accident, during which another car collided with mine. The occupants of the other vehicle sustained severe injuries and were hospitalized.

As I am not aware of the status of this court order, could you please advise me on how to obtain this information and whom I should contact regarding the matter?
