Q: Dear Sir/Madam, Is it possible for license partners to give power of attorney to another person to manage the business without the consent of the owner?

Q: Asalamu Alaikum, I have a question about one partner who took over all the business and blamed the main partner of the business who started this business with his investment. The partner lied and used a fake signature to trap him. He threatened him with jail. The main partner gave him a power of attorney in his absence. But he needs to use it with the approval of his main partner. He has purposefully kept his company in the red for the last eight months. We need legal assistance in this case to get out of this situation.

Q: I am seeking urgent guidance regarding my current visa status in the UAE. I was previously employed by a company that has now shut down, but my visa is still under that company. During my tenure, I held Power of Attorney (POA) for all financial matters. However, after a cheque issued by the company bounced, the owner revoked my POA without my knowledge. The company officially closed last year, and the owner (a lady) has been missing since the case emerged. No one from the company is responding, and I am currently stuck in Dubai due to a travel ban imposed on me related to this case. I need clarification on the following points: How can I cancel my existing visa under this closed company? Will I be able to obtain a new visa under another company despite the travel ban? Are there any legal blocks or restrictions affecting my visa or employment options? What legal steps can I take to resolve this situation? I would appreciate your guidance on the next steps and any possible solutions.
