Cancellation of project and reimbursement from the developer

6
Q: I bought an off-plan property & paid 100 % amount, also paid 4 % Oqood by June 2011.
Now, I learnt through DLD that the property is cancelled as the builder could complete half construction & now it shall go for liquidation.
I am stressed whether I will get the full invested amount after liquidation or just minimal. What do the laws say?

Filing a case against the developer for cancellation of project


2
Q: I bought a property in a project and paid the full amount to the developer directly, not in the escrow account.
The property was not complete as promised and it was cancelled by the Land Dept last year.
We reached the Land Dept to make a complaint then we came to know it's not registered under my name.
Please help me to process it and get my money back. I made a complaint in Dubai Courts too but no update.

Filing criminal and civil cases against a company for cheque bounce 0
Hello,
I hope you're all doing well during this tough time.
I have a question in regards to bounced cheques, specifically corporate cheques.
I have a cheque for AED 800,000, and it has bounced. The owner of the corporate has asked for a month to pay back. However, I am worried he will leave the country and not honour his obligation.
My questions are fairly simple:
1) Am I to put a case on the individual who signed it or the corporate?
1) If I put a criminal and civil case on the corporate right now and he's unable to settle amicably, can I put a travel ban on the owner (who signed) as it is a corporate case?
2) Does the new insolvency law as of late 2019 also apply to corporates?
3) Is the owner personally liable if the company doesn't have assets or cash?

View allالضمانات التي تحصل عليها شركة التمويل مقابل إعطاء قرض 0
حصلت على قرض شخصي وكريدت كارد من مؤسسة للتمويل بإجمالي ٥٠ ألف وتعثرت لفترة والآن يطالبونني بدفع مبلغ ٢٠٠ ألف درهم بالفوائد وكنت أعطيتهم شيك بقيمة ٤٢ ألف وقتها.
سؤالي:
هل يوجد سند لأمر داخل عقد القرض (الأبليكيشن) الخاص بالشركة التي وقعت معها في البداية؟
أم لا يملكون ضمانًا آخر يُمكِّنهم من مقاضاتي به سوى الشيك الذي أعطيته لهم فقط؟
مع جزيل الشكر!

هناك مشكلة مع مقاول إذ اتفقنا على بناء ملحق داخل منزل خاص ووقعنا العقد واستلم أول دفعة.
