Hello, Is there any restriction on a diplomat buying property in the UAE, where he works as a diplomat at his country's consulate?

Hi. One of my friends joined a Telegram group. They said, "We will transfer some amount to your account, and your task is to transfer this amount to another account. Once the task is completed, you will get 30 or 50 AED per task." He completed 3 to 4 tasks, but he realized it was not good, so he stopped. After one week, when he opened his account, it was blocked, and the bank said, "We are conducting an investigation; after this, we will let you know." After some days, he had an accident and went to his home country. He then received a call from a landline number, which was from the Abu Dhabi police station. They said, "We have received a complaint against you; come to our investigation department." However, due to his surgery and treatment, he could not go. After some time, his bank account was reopened, and he did not receive any further calls. I want to know, if he comes back to the UAE or goes to any other GCC country, will he face any problems? If someone has a case in the UAE, can they travel to another GCC country? Please advise!

Hello, What legal action can I take in case the employer refuses to pay my salary and I don't have a contract with them?

I currently live in Sharjah and have a UAE residence visa but I am not a UAE or GCC national. I want to open an online shop (Etsy or Shopify) to sell handmade items, such as crocheted goods, bookmarks, greeting cards, etc. Do I need a license to open an Etsy shop? If so, which license do I need to sell my products online, including UAE and worldwide? How much would it cost me? Can I keep my residence visa (sponsored by my father) and not change it?

Hello, I am seeking your legal advice regarding a friend who was previously imprisoned in Abu Dhabi. His case there is now closed, but he has another ongoing case in Dubai. Currently, we have lost contact with him and are unsure of his whereabouts. How can we check where he is or access any other legal facility? Are there legal procedures to locate a person with an ongoing case? What steps should we take to get more information about his status and legal position?

Hello, I'm currently looking for legal advice regarding an online defamation case. I am a Filipino citizen currently residing in the Philippines. The person I want to file a complaint against is also a Filipino citizen and is currently based in Dubai. I have already sought legal consultation, but it cost me a lot for just a simple session. Unfortunately, I don’t think I can afford to proceed with the fees required for sending a warning or demand letter to the person I’m complaining about. I would really appreciate any help, guidance, or information about possible free or low-cost legal services. Thank you for your time!

Hi, I have issued a blank cheque for my EMI, and now the company is using my blank cheque and putting any amount to deposit it.

Thank you.

السلام عليكم، أنا من فلسطين ومقيم بالإمارات ومتزوج من أردنية موجودة بالأردن. أرغب في الطلاق وهناك مهر متأخر قدره أربعة آلآف دينار. أسأل عن متطلبات وكيفية إنهاء عملية الطلاق وهل هناك متطلبات ألتزم بها؟ وشكرًا!

As a restaurant, we have the same price for our food items on dine-in, delivery menu, our website, and all other social media platforms like Google, FB...etc., wherever we are selling directly. But when we are selling through a 3rd party platform, they charge a minimum 25% to 30% commission, and that is incurring losses. We want to keep our prices 20% higher on 3rd party platforms to pay for the margin. Salespeople from these 3rd party platforms claim that it is not allowed by the UAE government under consumer protection law; Federal Law No. (24) of 2006 On Consumer Protection. However, I read the law myself and it doesn't mention anywhere that a restaurant can't have a different price on their own website /dine-in menu via 3rd party platform. A lot of other restaurants have different prices on their own website and a higher price on a 3rd party platform. Can you please give us legal advice if we can have a 20% higher price on 3rd party online platforms? Thanks!
