Q: A person living in Sharjah took the fake degree to the foreign office of Pakistan in Sharjah for attestation. All the attestation in Pakistan were forged, however, the foreign office in Sharjah only object the UAE embassy stamp, and handed over the person to Police. Then he was presented to the court.
Now the court orders that person to present the duplicate degree with the original stamp of UAE embassy. The problem is that the degree is fake, how can a duplicate be obtained and how the original attestation can be done?
Passport of the person is confiscated by the court. Any advice how can he be free. The person is not educated and he only did this act to obtain a good job, although the act cannot be excused whatsoever the reason was.

Issue with an online degree
1
Q: I recently did an online degree from a university in the USA. All the documents were verified and attested which took almost 2 years. Now only MoHE found out that the university is not on their list of accredited universities here in the UAE and now the document needs to be registered at a different university in the USA.
That will cost me a lot of money which I don't have. They said if I don't I will go to jail. I need some advice, please.

Non-payment of share value and claiming the shares back 0
My company is located in Dubai as an LLC. We have two shareholders,
1. UAE national shareholder with 95%
2. A foreign shareholder with 5%
The UAE national shareholder transferred this 5% shares to the foreign shareholder through a share sales agreement, which was notarized at the notary public in Dubai and submitted it to the DED to amend the trade license etc. This happened in 2014.
But till this date, the foreign shareholder did not pay the value of 5% shares to the UAE national shareholder or to the company.
Also, the foreign shareholder was not actively involved with the company's operation and as per Article 17 of the Commercial Companies Law:
"2. The partner may not contribute in work rendered unless he is a joint partner. The contribution of the partner may not consist of his having reputation or influence."
Under these circumstances, is it possible for the UAE national shareholder to request from the court to cancel the 5% shares of the foreign shareholder and transfer back to him?
