Q: Hi.
Good day,
I just like to ask if I can go out of the country for a vacation, even without the approval of my employer since my vacation is just two days and I will be back as soon as possible.
In my contract, there is nothing saying that I can't travel during my contract. Is it okay, because I really miss my family?
Thanks in advance.

The bank wants to take a property as collateral for an unpaid loan. What to do? 0
Hello,
I took out a loan in the amount of 4,000,000 DHS, and I repaid the principal amount but I refused to pay the interest which was 800,000 DHS, I still own a property in Dubai and the value is around 3,000,000 DHS.
The bank wants to take the whole property as collateral for my debt. Can the bank do this? Or do they have to sell the property, take what I owe them, and pay me the rest? Or will they be taking the whole property? Are they allowed to do such a thing?

Possibility to terminate the SPA and claim refund for handover delay 0
Hi,
I purchased an off-plan property in Dubai that had an estimated completion date of August 31, 2020.
I received an email that due to a delay, my completion date has been pushed forward to April 30, 2022. The email they sent for the delay did not say what was the reason for the delay.
Since the developer has violated the SPA by delaying the project past 12 months of the completion date, can I request that the contract be cancelled and get what I have paid back?
Do you believe that the developer could utilize Covid-19 as Force Majeure as a reason for not following the contract?
Regards
