The applicable law on a case filed by a company registered with a civil license

1
Q: I have a professional company with a civil license. It is formulated as per the UAE civil transactions law and special artisan act of Dubai. I have a court case in Dubai courts and it was registered as a commercial case. There are some differences between the commercial company law and civil transactions law.
For example, a partner of a commercial company cannot make agreements and contracts with any family relative without the approval of all partners, but the civil transactions law does not mention any such restriction and only states that a partner can give work to anybody.
Which law is applicable to a civil company in a commercial case?
Is there any advantage or difference in requesting the court to re-file this case as a civil case since the company has been formulated under civil transactions law?

Cleaner's resignation with 30-day notice in incomplete contract 7
Hello,
Good afternoon!
My friend works as a cleaner for a cleaning company and she now wants to resign with a 30-day notice. However, she has not completed the two-year contract and has only served for 16 months.
Additionally, she has not taken any vacation leave. The sad part is that when she signed the offer letter, she did not receive a copy of it and only signed it.
I would be very grateful if you could let me know if she would have to pay or if her boss has the right to not accept the resignation if the notice period mentioned in the offer letter is more than a month.
Her boss has not provided her with any kind of proof that she can use in the future if anything happens.

العميل سدد المبالغ التي استخدمها ورفض دفع مبالغ الفائدة البنكية. هل يجوز ذلك؟ 2
السلام عليكم،
هل يحق للبنك في إمارة دبي أن يرفع دعوى جنائية أو مدنية ضد عميل لم يسدد مبالغ الفائدة بل سدد فقط المبالغ التي قدمها البنك أصليًا (مبلغ القرض فقط)؟
منحه البنك بطاقة ائتمانية بحجة أنه "قرض حسن بدون فوائد"، وبعدما استخدم العميل البطاقة الائتمانية بفترة زمنية قصيرة وفجأةً تم إرسال رسالة إلى العميل تفيد بأن هناك مبالغ متراكمة بسبب الفائدة البنكية بقيمة ٤٠٪ من القرض الأساس المُقدم إليه.
علمًا بأنه تم تزويد العميل بالبطاقة الائتمانية عن طريق البريد السريع لعنوان منزله بدون طلب رسمي من العميل بذلك، بالإضافة إلى أنه لا يوجد أي من المستندات التالية بين البنك والعميل:
١- عقد. ٢- اتفاقية. ٣- شيكات كضمان. ٤- سند أو شريعة أو قبول خطي أو غير خطي أو توثيق يتضمن أي توقيع من الأطراف؛ بمعنى آخر، لا يوجد أي اتفاق على الإطلاق.
العميل سدد المبالغ التي استخدمها ورفض دفع مبالغ الفائدة البنكية المضافة سالفة الذكر.
الرجاء الإفادة ولكم جزيل الشكر!
