Non-renewal of a limited contract coming to an end
5
Q: I was on maternity leave. Upon the completion of maternity leave, I extended my leave which was approved by the management.
Though I wished to join back after a month, due to the nature of work I was given a leave until the end of the school term ending in June which I consented to.
My limited contract ends on 31 Aug 2018 and I have now received a notice for non-renewal of my employment contract.
Is this legally binding?

View allA property is subleased without landlord's consent. How to evict subtenant? 0
Dear Consultant,
Good morning!
I have a rented property in Dubai. In March 2024, when I went to visit my flat, I found a subtenant inside. He informed me that he rented from "my tenant" and is paying on a monthly basis.
This occurred without my consent, and his cheques return unpaid. I have heard from my friend about many options to vacate my unit and sue the original tenant.
I would appreciate your advice on the subject matter as a consultant.
Many thanks!

إلغاء الاتفاق واسترداد المبالغ المدفوعة لشقة قيد الإنشاء 0
أود الاستفسار عن رسوم مقاضاة مطور عقاري اشتريت منه وحدتين عقاريتين.
تم دفع 30% من قيمة العقار + جميع رسوم دائرة الأراضي والأملاك ولكن منذ 7 أشهر يماطل المطور في تسليمي العقد. ولا أعتقد بأن المبالغ المدفوعة تم إيداعها في حساب الضمان.
أيضاً، المشروع متأخر والثاني لم يبدأ بعد مع أنه من خلال نموذج الحجز مذكور بأن عمليات الإنشاء بدأت والتسليم في ديسمبر 2019.
أريد رفع دعوى لفسخ العقد وإرجاع جميع المبالغ المدفوعة. هل الدعوى مضمونة؟
لا أريد تضييع الوقت في تقديم شكاوى لدائرة الأراضي والأملاك.
وأنا من إمارة أخرى وليس لي الوقت للذهاب إلى دبي للشكوى ومراجعتهم. أريد توكيل محامي مختص للانتهاء من الأمر.

The possibility of appealing a jail sentence for bounced cheques 0
Hi,
I needed to know if the court issues a judgment of 2 or 3 months jail term in cheque bounce case, is there a way to reverse the judgment or avoid the sentence? Possibly if the creditor withdraws the case?
I have received a judgment of a jail term of 2 months for AED 1 Million security cheque bounce against a loan that is 75% paid off and a 3 months jail term for multiple cheques to a single supplier valued at AED 48,000.00 approx.
What can I do avoid jail terms and wondering how AED 48k cumulative value would result in jail term?
Appreciate a solution for this.
Thanks.
