Q: I have been terminated from my unlimited contract after working in a company for 15 months with no notice period.
They say it's because the upper management has found that my performance is not good enough. I have not received any paperwork or warnings that I need to improve otherwise I will be terminated.
I have also been promoted in January of this year for exemplary performance. What are my rights under the UAE law and articles 120 and 123?

Consequences on signing a termination letter of redundancy
0
Q: Claiming of benefits after being terminated.
My company asked me to sign a termination letter last August 1, 2019, without any reason in the letter.
My manager just verbally said that they don’t have money anymore to continue the opening of the main branch but the branch 1 will still function though.
By September 1, 2019, there comes the new management. I just want to ask if I am entitled to 3 months salary compensation aside from the pending salaries I need to get.
I am on an unlimited contract.

Landlord's right to ask the tenant for overstay if he terminates tenancy without notice 0
Dear Mr Malalla,
I would like to get your opinion on an incident that I am going through at the moment with my previous landlord.
After staying in the same apartment for 4 yrs as a tenant, on 8/2/21, only a week before the renewal term (15/2/21) and after having a written agreement on a mutually agreed condition as well as sending us the contract, our landlord declared to us that he changed his mind and would apply the old contractual terms.
After having back and forth emails with our landlord's agency, on 23/2/21 we received the final email about his decision from the agency. As I did not want to stay in his place, we moved out on 6/3/21.
On 14/3/21, we received a quotation from the agency in regards to maintenance, which we mutually accepted on 15/03/21.
2 days ago, when I was waiting for my security deposit, I received a final calculation from the agency charging me the period between 15/2 to 5/3 as overstay. We reminded him many times of the rules and regulations but he does not care.

Steps to get the settlement amount from developer after cancelling a property 0
Dear Sir
I have cancelled the purchase of a property in Dubai and the developer has agreed with my decision. The developer committed in writing to refund the agreed settlement amount “within 90 days “.
I have kept consistent follow-up records and everything in writing between the developer and me. However, 1 week before the 90 days expiry period (due to my constant and persistent follow up in writing) the developer has stated it will take another 90 days for them to refund me the monies, sighting COVID-19 as “ the “ reason.
Am I able to enforce the email agreement between the developer and me to recover the agreed settlement within the 90 days and latest at the 90-day deadline?
I look forward to hearing from you, I would also be pleased to engage on the tel with you if you feel this would be more useful. I currently reside in Kenya.
Thanks.
Regards,
S.

اختصاص المحكمة في حالة وجود المدعي خارج البلاد 0
هل يجوز لمحاكم الإمارات الحكم بنفقة أطفال انتهت إقامتهم في الدولة قبل تاريخ رفع دعوى النفقات وبناء على إقامتهم مع الأم خارج الدولة؟
ألا يعتبر ذلك تعديًا على الاختصاص المكاني للمحكمة والأصل رفض الدعوى وإرجاعها إلى المحاكم المختصة في دولة إقامة الأطفال؟
شكرًا مسبقًا للرد!
