Terminating the SPA of an off-plan property due to delay and COVID-19

I have 2 properties bought off-plan. Both are overdue. Both are above 90% completed & approximately 6-9 months overdue.

I lost my job due to COVID-19 & can no longer fulfil my financial obligations. The properties are with [--------] & [-------].

Is it possible to win a case, cancel the SPA & get my money back?

Dear Questioner,

Regarding for COVID-19, the federal government and the local law in Dubai made a new decision which considered that COVID-19 is an act of god which allows terminating all contracts in general.

So if you prove to the court that you lost your job, you can terminate the contract. But you need to search for an additional reason to add in your case to make it stronger.
