My nephew has been allegedly arrested by the Ajman Police because his work colleague accused him of stealing his money.
We have paid the money to the complainant's parents back in our home country per the agreement we had with the complainant, yet he said that the case has been pushed to the court and my nephew has been remanded till 28th of February 2020.
I kindly seek your assistance to verify if what the complainant is telling me is true or not so I know the necessary action to take.

Q: Hi,
I just want to confirm regarding a travel ban.
I have checked in a Dubai police station and found that 2 cases have been filed of a total amount of AED 25000 in Abu Dhabi which leads to a travel ban.
Please advise, what is the procedure to lift the ban? If I pay the fine at court will it be enough to lift the ban?

Can unpaid credit card debt lead to a travel ban in the UAE?
1
Q: Dear Lawyers,
I have a credit card from a bank on which I used AED 20k and stopped paying 3 years ago. Now, third-party agents are approaching me to pay back, and the principal amount is AED 27k.
I said that I used only 20k, so why should I pay 27k? They said it’s the minimum interest for AED 20k.
I agreed to pay 15k with a down payment of 5k and the rest 10k in EMI installments, but they did not agree and are forcing me to pay 27k or a lump sum of 20k.
Now, my question is: is there a possibility of a travel ban for this case, or what action can they take against me?

Terminating an employee after sick leave and claiming compensation 2
Hello,
My employer fired me under Article 44 for not showing up for work for 7 days in a row. But that’s not the case at all. I was sick and the management was aware and they let me go.
I went to another country to get treatment because it’s expensive in Dubai. My employer did not pay me my salary for the month I worked and fired me.
I have official sick leave from another country and there is correspondence where my employer sent me to another country for treatment.
The problem is that the employer says that he will take compensation for the training that was specified in the contract, but I did not undergo training at all; I immediately started work from the first day of work and there was no training.
Does my employer have the right to charge me such a fee and not pay my salary?

How to cancel the MoU to buy an apartment with the broker if the bank did not approve the loan? 2
Hi,
I have a situation where I signed an MoU and gave my security deposit to the seller's agent. However later, the bank valuation of the property is lower than the selling price.
On my MoU, it has a clause that “the buyer has a right to cancel/negotiate if the bank valuation is not the same as MoU.” I tried to negotiate, however, we didn't agree on the price so I asked to cancel.
Now the agent is threatening me that they will not cancel the MoU and that will deposit my cheque. Later I also came to know that the person I am dealing with is not the same person whose name is mentioned as a broker in the MoU.
The agent I am dealing with is constantly messaging me with threats. I decided not to speak to him and instead, I wrote an email to the broker whose name is mentioned on the MoU but received no response.
I am on a very tight timeline as I need to vacate my apartment in 3 weeks, I found another unit but I don't know if I can pursue this while the initial MoU still not canceled.
Please, I need advice.
