Q: Hi Dr Amira,
I am a Hindu Indian expat living in the UAE. My husband and I have legal cases going on in India and we are living separately in the UAE.
My husband filed disobedience case against me here and I won the case in the Court of First Instance, but he filed an appeal and he won it in the Appeal Court.
The judgement says I did not provide enough evidence, while I have provided all attested court documents from India.
How can I get the court to re-look at the documents?
Until when do I have time to file the appeal?
I used legal support from a law firm but they have not helped much.
Can you let me know how I can get the court to re-look at the documents, please?

Q: Hi there,
I used to live in Dubai till Jan 2015. However, I traveled overseas to get married but I had an accident due to which I was bedridden and now am in a wheelchair.
I can't work because of my health and also I suffer from anxiety and depression. I had a loan from a bank and the cheque was bounced for 89k and the Sharjah court gave a verdict of 6 months imprisonment in absentia. My question is:
Can this imprisonment be changed to a fine?

إيقاف أمر الضبط والإحضار الصادر رغم تقديم طلب تأجيل لعارض صحي

2
س: مرحبًا،
صدر بحقي حكم غيابي جزائي وقمت بمعارضة الحكم وقبل يوم واحد من تاريخ جلسة المعارضة، قدمت طلب تأجيل جلسة عن طريق موقع النيابة الاتحادي لعارض صحي ولكن جلسة المعارضة أقيمت وصدر الحكم فيها وطبعًا بدون حضوري، وحالة طلب التأجيل إلى الحين يشار إليها بـ "أُرسلت للمحكمة".
هل يوجد حل لتخطي الحرمان من المعارضة؟ وهل المعارضة أو الاستئناف على الحكم تحفظ الأمر الصادر بالضبط والإحضار لحين آخر؟

هل آن أوان إعادة النظر في بعض القواعد الإجرائية؟ 40
بطبعه وطبيعته، كان القانون وما زال كائناً متطوراً وجسداً متجدداً، ولولا هذه الصفات فيه، لما حقق الغرض الذي من أجله خُلق ووُضع. وسمات التطور والتجدد ليست قاصرةً على فرع دون آخر، أو نوع من بين الأنواع، بل هي سمات ملحوظة في القانونين العام والخاص، وفي المجالين، الموضوعي والإجرائي.

Cleaner's resignation with 30-day notice in incomplete contract 7
Hello,
Good afternoon!
My friend works as a cleaner for a cleaning company and she now wants to resign with a 30-day notice. However, she has not completed the two-year contract and has only served for 16 months.
Additionally, she has not taken any vacation leave. The sad part is that when she signed the offer letter, she did not receive a copy of it and only signed it.
I would be very grateful if you could let me know if she would have to pay or if her boss has the right to not accept the resignation if the notice period mentioned in the offer letter is more than a month.
Her boss has not provided her with any kind of proof that she can use in the future if anything happens.

العميل سدد المبالغ التي استخدمها ورفض دفع مبالغ الفائدة البنكية. هل يجوز ذلك؟ 2
السلام عليكم،
هل يحق للبنك في إمارة دبي أن يرفع دعوى جنائية أو مدنية ضد عميل لم يسدد مبالغ الفائدة بل سدد فقط المبالغ التي قدمها البنك أصليًا (مبلغ القرض فقط)؟
منحه البنك بطاقة ائتمانية بحجة أنه "قرض حسن بدون فوائد"، وبعدما استخدم العميل البطاقة الائتمانية بفترة زمنية قصيرة وفجأةً تم إرسال رسالة إلى العميل تفيد بأن هناك مبالغ متراكمة بسبب الفائدة البنكية بقيمة ٤٠٪ من القرض الأساس المُقدم إليه.
علمًا بأنه تم تزويد العميل بالبطاقة الائتمانية عن طريق البريد السريع لعنوان منزله بدون طلب رسمي من العميل بذلك، بالإضافة إلى أنه لا يوجد أي من المستندات التالية بين البنك والعميل:
١- عقد. ٢- اتفاقية. ٣- شيكات كضمان. ٤- سند أو شريعة أو قبول خطي أو غير خطي أو توثيق يتضمن أي توقيع من الأطراف؛ بمعنى آخر، لا يوجد أي اتفاق على الإطلاق.
العميل سدد المبالغ التي استخدمها ورفض دفع مبالغ الفائدة البنكية المضافة سالفة الذكر.
الرجاء الإفادة ولكم جزيل الشكر!
