Q: Hi,
I lived in Dubai about 9 years ago and I left an unsettled credit card bill, not a huge amount but I figured I wasn't going back for any reason.
Then over time, I completely lost track of it. Since then, I got a police clearance certificate from Dubai Police for immigration purposes in another country.
I was wondering if this meant that my record was clear and if I landed in Dubai I would not be put behind bars or anything of the sort.

Q: Hi,
I am outside of the UAE.
I had a previous case for a bounced cheque with a bank in Dubai, going in front of the judge I was ordered to pay a fine, which I did and the case was cleared and I left the UAE.
I have applied for an online police clearance certificate but it was rejected, does this mean there is an open case or due to the old case?

Q: Dear sir/madam,
I currently live in Canada. I worked in UAE (Abu Dhabi and Ajman) from 2013 to 2016. I want to acquire a Police Clearance Certificate for immigration purposes (to Canada). I've tried online twice but have failed.
I would like to know where there is any court case against me. In 2016, I left the UAE without informing my employer, bank, lessor, etc. since my wife was in a bad medical condition in Sri Lanka at that time.
Then I never returned to the UAE. Can I please get some help in this process?

يلعب الشيك دوراً مهماً في الحياة اليومية سواء في ميدان المعاملات التجارية أو في ميدان المعلامات المدنية باعتباره أداة وفاء والتزام تحل محل النقود في التعامل بين الافراد. ونظراً لهذه الأهمية فقد أصبح أكثر الأوراق التجارية انتشاراً وتداولاً بين الناس، على الرغم من حداثته نوعاً ما. فالشيك لم يبق كما كان في بداية عهده أداة لسحب الودائع المصرفية لحساب الساحب ذاته، بل أصبح أداة وفاء تحل محل النقود سواء على النطاق الداخلي بالنسبة للمعاملات التي يقوم بها الأفراد داخل الدولة فحسب وزادت أهميته.

How do I resolve a year-long pending police complaint to lift the travel ban? 1
Hello,
I need help!
A year ago, my previous employer filed a complaint at the police station accusing me of abuse. He did this because I had taken him to the labor court for not paying my salary.
The labor court case was resolved, and I received my salary. However, the police complaint is still pending. Initially, the police took my statement and informed me to wait for a court summons.
It has now been a year, and I have not received any summons. The case is still under police investigation. They have also informed me that there is a travel ban against me.
How can I remove this case from the police station?

After 11 months of work, how many leave days is an employee entitled to? 0
Hello,
I want to inquire regarding my leave privileges. I am now 11 months in my company. How many leaves am I privileged to?
Based on Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021 regulating labour relations and its executive regulations, you are entitled to a paid weekly rest for not less than one day, as specified in the work contract or the work regulation.
The Council of Ministers may increase the weekly rest day stipulated in this article. The Decree-Law and its executive regulations also stipulate that you are entitled to an annual leave with full pay as follows:
- Thirty days for each year of your extended service.
- Two days per month in respect of any employee with more than six months and less than one year of service.
- Leave for parts of the last year of your service in case it is terminated before you use your annual leave balance.
Now my question is: do I have 22 days I can use? Can someone explain to me in detail?
Thank you!

مدافعة دعوى طلاق للضرر رفعتها الزوجة أثناء وجود الزوج خارج البلاد 0
رفعت زوجتي قضية طلاق للضرر ضدي وقت سفري للخارج وذلك بالضغط من أهلها، وقالت في لائحة الدعوى أنني هجرتها ولم أنفق عليها ولا على طفلي الاثنين وأنها استأجرت سكنًا خاصًا بعد أن تخليت عنهم، وهو لم يحدث جملة وتفصيلاً، وهناك ما يُثبت.
تركت لهم المصروف الخاص بالبيت وهناك رسائل واتساب تشهد بذلك قبل السفر.
ولكن لظروف مرض كورونا المنتشر حاليًا، لا يمكنني العودة بسبب إغلاق المطارات؛ ومع ذلك لا توجد مشكلة في إيجار السكن ولا المدارس وهناك مصروف لهم يكفي لمدة سنة.
هل إن رجعت وقدمت ما لدي من مستندات تفيد بأنني أخبرتها بسفري لرؤية الوالد، ولدي عقد إيجار للسكن صالح لآخر سنة ٢٠٢٠، وحتى رسوم المدارس تُخصَم من حسابي في البنك مباشرة، يرفض القاضي طلب الطلاق للضرر؟
لقد أعدت حجز الأبناء في المدارس عن طريق الإنترنت للسنة القادمة ٢٠٢٠/٢٠٢١، هل هذا يكفي لرفض طلبها؟
مع العلم أن الزوجة لم ترفق أي ورقة في الدعوى تُثبت إدعائها بأنها قامت باستئجار سكن. أنا أملك تلك المستندات باسمي وجميع الرسوم المدرسية والسكن وقد أبلغتها عن طريق الواتساب بغرض السفر.
مع العلم بأني مقيم في إمارة دبي.
