I had given a cash loan of 1.2 million to a restaurant owner in Dubai for 1 year, on a PDC security. They served me some profit for almost a year, and when the date of repayment came, he started giving me different dates. I bounced the cheques and complained in Dubai police, the police have opened a case and put a travel ban on the signing authority. While running out of the country, the lady who was the signing authority was arrested and sent to the police station and from there to the public prosecution. They used some links and skipped out of the country although the company and other partners are still in Dubai. Please advise me what should be done to recover the amount, as the signing authority ran away.

I want to divorce my husband; my concerns are as below; If the divorce proceeding is under Sharia Law, what are my chances when it comes to; 1. Child Custody & guardianship - I believe I will get the custody until age 11. My question is if the husband is unemployed for 6 months now, can he still be considered as guardian since he can't provide for the family? And if I can show that he has never been a provider for the family (basically, I pay ALL the bills since we got married) & I have a proof that he had an affair a year ago, can I get the guardianship as well & full custody? Can the child get an opportunity to choose where he wants to live with when he reaches puberty? 2. DIVISION OF ASSETS - Since I got a land inheritance from my parents, is he entitled to get 1/2 of the property? Obviously, he has no house/properties in his home country as well as savings and I am worried he will get everything. I own 50/50 in which he didn't sweat a dime on it. Awaiting your advice.

Can I be held financially/legally liable for any actions of my ex-partner after exiting the business by share transfer?

Hi Sudhanshu, Hope you are well. What are my rights for establishing an e-com business meant for trading outside the UAE. 1) Do I still need the UAE trade license? 2) Can I receive payments in the UAE banks through international online business since I live in the UAE and would be here for some more time? Best regards, A.

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?
