Refund of money paid for purchasing a beauty salon that never happened
0
Q: Hi,
We are planning to buy a beauty salon and we have given the owner a deposit of AED 20k. After a week he asked for another AED 50k as he has dues that need to be settled with the landlord.
He gave us a cheque for AED 50k which bounced because the account has been closed a long time back as per the bank. It’s been 49 days and the transfer is not done yet. Can we file a civil case and ask for moral damage as we lost a lot of money since the business is not operating yet? Can we still get our AED 70k that we had given to him?

How to combat a court judgement in favor of client for incurred losses


1
Q: We had a commercial case from our client after he breached the agreed completion period. He claimed more than what he has paid as an advance and we have proved that the work is done close to the advance received.
The court has given the judgement to pay back part of the advance received against the work completed but we are not happy with the judgement as we have incurred losses due to the extended execution period.
During the court sessions, we have defended ourselves for the claims made by the client and we haven't been to the court of cassation.
Referring to the res judicata, can we open a new case for the damages incurred along with the loss of profit for the termination of the contract as he delayed the project beyond the agreed execution period?
We have even delivered the required materials to the site for execution. He has blocked our license and in the interim, can we request the court to settle the payment to the client in small monthly instalments?

View allHow to liquidate a free zone company after the death of one partner 0
I am a company owner In Shams free zone of 50 per cent share and have a partner visa. My partner was a Russian who went to Russia and died.
When I went to the free zone to cancel my visa and close the company, they have asked me to get his attested death certificate and NOC from his heirs.
The problem I am facing is his family doesn’t want to give the death certificate nor they want to give NOC. Now my resident visa validity is over and I am on fine every day.
Neither the free zone is cooperating nor the partner's family. What is the other way I can cancel my visa and close the company?
Can someone guide me, please?

How the objection of a client be dealt with after being notified for termination by DLD? 0
I have been notified by DLD that I am in breach of an off-plan sales agreement, and the developer wishes to terminate the agreement.
The date on the notice is March 9, 2021, and I received it from the developer on March 11, 2021. The notice says I have 30 days "from the date of being notified" to make the outstanding payment.
On the termination notice from DLD, a list of objections is present. One of the objections states that the developer must hand over the final SPA to me.
In this case, I have not received the final SPA from the developer. I made an objection in writing to the DLD pointing this fact out and sent it via email, and received a confirmation of the same from DLD by return e-mail on April 6, 2021.
30 days from March 9th is April 8th, or from March 11th is April 10th. Does the developer have to respond to my objection before the DLD will allow them to terminate the agreement?
In this case, will the time I have to make the payment be extended by any period?

Closing a business while the local service agent is not reachable 0
Hi,
We have a professional services license (2 partners) + 1 local service agent registered with DED, Dubai.
The partners wish to close the business because of unavoidable circumstances. We wish to proceed with all the necessary paperwork for cancellation.
Unfortunately, the local service agent is not available. We have been trying to connect to him multiple times but have not been able to reach him.
The due date for the renewal of the company is coming up and we want to proceed with all the paperwork for cancellation prior to that.
Kindly advise us about the options if the local service agent is unavailable.

Returning to the UAE to run business after being convicted with a crime 0
Hi,
I want some information regarding my uncle. He was arrested in November 2015 and was in prison until 13 June 2016 when he was deported to Pakistan.
The reason for the arrest was that my uncle had his own business in Sharjah and he was involved in a case where his employee accused him of attacking him and other allegations. He was arrested and convicted.
He needs to reenter the country as he has his business in Sharjah but I believe he is blacklisted/banned. How can I find out if he is blacklisted/banned and how can it be removed to allow my uncle to reenter the country and take over his business?
Is there any way of helping to resolve this issue?
I know that if he enters on a visa, he could be arrested at the airport, and don’t want that to happen.
Thank you!
