What happens after somebody gets arrested for having an accident while drunk?
3
Q: Hello,
I would like to ask for advice for my boyfriend who is currently at the police station but tomorrow he will go to court. My boyfriend got drunk while driving and our car had an accident.
He had three friends in the car when the car had an accident the three of his friends ran away immediately while my boyfriend called the police to help him.
But the situation turned upside down instead of helping him they locked him up for two days at the police station and going to court is open.
I feel sorry for my boyfriend as just because of alcohol, he will lose all his dreams if he is imprisoned. In fact, god knows how kind the boyfriend is even if he drinks, he is not a criminal to be imprisoned.
I'm confused about what to do. I always wonder if he is ok in prison and if he is fed properly or not., and whether he is being made a slave within the prison. I hope you can help me with advice.
Thank you very much.

A friend is fined due to drinking beer in the car. Can he get a PPC?


2
Q: Hello,
One of my non-Muslim friends had a minor accident while changing lanes inside the city and both the parties were fined and the issue was resolved.
Then later he had a flat tire on the highway in Abu Dhabi. He called for the pick-up truck and as he was waiting for help and it was getting delayed for like 3 hours, he consumed one beer in the car and slept off.
The police woke him up and took him to the detention center and kept him for 3 days. They took a fine of 20000 and left him. They said he will be notified and he has to appear in court.
He is not sure what case is registered and how serious the issue is. What is the solution? Will he be able to get PCC later?

Thank you.

How can I reach a settlement with the bank for a mortgage of a jointly owned property? 0
I have a jointly owned property in Abu Dhabi. The mortgage was defaulted on as I had to leave the property with my children following an assault by my ex-husband. He left the country in 2018 and never paid the mortgage.
As I was in the country, the bank filed a criminal case against me, and I was sentenced to 3 years. I won the appeal against the bank and then filed another criminal case a few months later in Dubai. Again, I won and paid a fine.
In 2019, the bank started a civil case against me and my ex-husband to have the property repossessed. However, at the time of the purchase of the property, there were no Title Deeds, the bank requires this.
I cannot give them the Title Deeds to sell the property and pay back the amount owed to them as my ex-husband refuses to provide a POA. The bank has filed another criminal case against me only for our jointly owned property.
I wish to resolve this and pay off the bank and receive any money left from the sale. How can I resolve this issue of the Title Deeds?

Can a real estate agency hold a percentage of a property sale until transfer is done? 0
A real estate agency has signed an MOU stating that a 10% security deposit from the buyer and the seller will be kept in the real estate agency and will be released upon transferring the property.
The transfer of the property was blocked due to the court order.
According to my colleagues, the real estate agency is not a trustee and they are not allowed to have taken my security check in the first place, is this correct?
