Q: Dear Sir,
I have my friend in detention in Al Barsha police station for accidental death in a construction site. His team on site had employed fewer labours for work and one of those guys died in an accident.
The police had detained my friend as he is the owner of the company. The police case report number is only available and they have not still transferred it to the public prosecution.
Is it possible to get bail before the case being transferred?

Worksite accident and clearing the case at the court
5
Q: Hi Sir,
Respected,
My case is running in the Dubai Courts for one construction worksite accident that happened to one of our workers who fell down by his own mistake and hospitalized in the emergency.
The case is running for 1 and a half year and the person who fell down is okay now, but the prosecution is saying it's 100% disability.
For the victim, we had paid all the medical bill of AED 92000 + given all salaries till date, and due to a long time, we are in full stress and want to close the case from the victim and from my side.
What is the procedure for giving Tanazul (clearance)?

Amir Suhail

Should a production company have a safety team and safety manager? Or is it optional?
My second question is:
Is night allowance mandatory for the employees; I mean production workers? Or is it according to the wish of the employer?

View allDisputing tenant's refusal to accept old landlord's rent increase notice 0
Hi,
We recently bought a villa in Dubai. We are looking for an advocate for legal advice.
Even though the old owner gave the tenant a 90-day notice about the new rent, the tenant is not agreeing to the notice because it didn't come from us.
Since the renewal is in October and we bought the property in September, we don't have 90 days to notify the tenant of the new rent.
The tenant agreed to the new rent in an email with the old owner 90 days ago. Can we dispute this?

We had an accident. Can I claim the treatment costs paid to hospital from the insurance? 0
My family and I had an accident. The incident occurred the very next day of their arrival in the UAE on a residence entry permit and their visa//health insurance was still in process.
With gods grace, everyone was discharged from the hospital on the 3rd day after many tests and keeping us under observation. We were slapped with a hefty bill as my family was not holding any health insurance.
What are the chances that I could claim the medical expenses through the vehicle insurance, as it covers co-passengers as well?

What can I do if a company hired me then changed their mind? 0
I am working in a company and their management is the worst. They made an interview in India and called me.
After calling me here, they again made interviews and made me work for 1 month. And now, they're telling me I am not capable of work and they are mentally torturing me.
I have given them 1.5 lack in office in India and here they are not paying me any salary. I am going into depression as I am not getting any solutions.
The only solution coming to my mind is a suicide, I don’t have any other options left. I have taken money in interest and people are daily coming to my house for money.
Please guide me in a proper way on what I can do.
