Clearing a bounced cheque for a loan after paying the fine
0
Q: Good day!
Please reply ASAP.
Actually, I have cheque bounce case recently up to AED 51000 from Duniya Finance but I’m out of the UAE for 1 year due to my family mishap. Now, I want to visit the UAE again to search for a job!
What is the procedure now? Will they arrest me or I have to pay a fine? If I pay the fine, will I be free of the claimed amount or I have to pay the amount to the bank after paying the fine?

Can an employer post an employee’s photo on social media without their consent? 0
Hello,
Can an employer post an employee's photo on social media, LinkedIn or Instagram, without the employee's consent?
Secondly, the employer is forcing the employee to update the company details in the employee's profile.
I believe LinkedIn and Instagram are personal profiles and one cannot be forced to update the details. This photo was taken in the office.

Agreement with the employee to get an advance payment on gratuity 0
Dear Legal Advice ME
I own a company in DIFC which is struggling due to the current crisis and employees were given three months notice because the company will probably be forced to close.
One employee is asking if he can take his gratuity early as his wife has lost her job due to COVID-19. Can I legally give him a loan against a percentage of his gratuity?
He has worked for me for 16 years.

استرداد العربون بسبب مخالفة بنود العقد لاتفاق المشتري والمطور 0
دفعت مبلغ حجز لمطوِّر قبل توقيع أي عقود رسمية لشقة، عند معاينة شقة العرض للمشروع قام البائع بإبلاغنا بأن رسوم الخدمات ١٤ درهم وبأن الشقة سيتم تسليمها بنفس تفاصيل تشطيبات شقة العرض وأن العقد غير جاهز حاليًا وسيتم تجهيزه بعد يومين.
تم هذا كله أمام أحد الوسطاء العقاريين الرسميين، وعند طباعة العقود تبين أن رسوم الخدمات ١٧.٥ إلى ١٨ درهم والتفاصيل التي ذكرها البائع بشأن بعض التشطيبات كما بشقة العرض غير مذكورة بالعقد، وعند العودة الى البائع تردد وأنكر وبعد مخاطبة شركته، لم يتعاونوا معي أبدًا ولم يُعيدوا مبلغ الحجز.
كيف يمكنني استرجاع المبلغ علمًا بأنه يوجد لدي فقط وصل مختوم بالمبلغ المدفوع وشهادة شركة الوساطة العقارية؟

Termination of off-plan apartments' contract without sending written notice 0
I purchased 2 off-plan hotel apartments in 2016; both ACD Q2, 2018. One is 100% paid, the other is 30% as per the SPA.
According to SPA:
"Without prejudice to the Seller's rights under Clause 21 in respect of a Force Majeure Event and/or Foreign Delay Events, the ACD may be extended by the Seller, in its absolute discretion without cause, by written notice to the Purchaser for a period or periods of up to a total of twelve (12) months."
No written notice was received, despite requesting it on 21/09/2018 by email (no reply).
After several misleading communications and changing completion dates, they are now saying that because I did not exercise my entitlement to send written notice requiring completion of building works within 1 year from ACD ("Remedy Period"), I am not entitled to terminate.
I didn't send this notice as I was waiting for them to send theirs as per SPA obligations. Current RERA status is 61.59% (due 30/06/2020)and 84.54% (due 31/05/2020).
Is this a good cause for termination?
