2
Q: We invested in a clinic venture (LLC) as a 25% partner with an investment totalling approx. AED 600k.
The starting date of the clinic was supposed to be 31 December 2018 as per the sale and purchase agreement. 9 months have passed, and even the basic inspection to activate the license has not been done.
I want to file a case against the original investors whose scope of work includes the activation of the clinic license, as they are currently deceiving me and creating excuses not to start the clinic.
They haven't shown till date a breakdown of expenses and where my investment has gone as the condition of the clinic has worsened.
Additionally, they are now asking for more money or threatening to close down the clinic as they haven't paid the rent for 5 months and have informed me only this week.
Kindly help me in this case. What can I do?

Protection of investment in LLC business
3
Q: I did partnership in LLC business with one Indian last year. Recently I asked him to return my investment as he was not giving any reward of my investment. He agreed to return it. But now he is absconding because he owes some amount to an old partner who filed a police case against him.
What should I do now to protect my investment or to avoid further loss?
My 2nd question is: which percentage of shares will apply in case of loss? Trade license shows 15% my shares.

Rights of a 50% partner when managing partner withholds financial information


1
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
I am a 50% partner in a civil company and my partner is the managing partner.
I live abroad in Europe and the managing partner is not providing 6 months of interim accounts, invoices proof, expenses, and sales generated upon my requests.
Although this request is not part of any agreement, the refusal on my partner's behalf raises further concerns due to funding a business that is making losses and I am solely funding the business.
What are my rights? And what action can I take to get the necessary information?

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!
