Q: A judgement issued today in a criminal case for stealing has resulted in a jail term of three months.
An appeal application hearing has been made, in order to turn the jail term into a fine.
The appeal date has been set for January 2018, and we were informed that we can make an application to have the appeal heard earlier, is this possible?
We would like to convert and pay the fine as soon as possible, in order for the subject to be closed and the accused to have his passport back.

Forced confession by coercion

0
Q: I was terminated from my company on the accusation of theft. My company said that they have a CCTV footage which they did not present during the committee meeting. There was no money or goods retrieved from me by my company security. They only have my admission.
Since they were telling me that they will send it to the police if I won't admit that happened on 19 March, the committee meeting which was supposed to investigate was held 2 days after.
My company kept me suspended until the 5th of April and handed me the termination letter, which states that I am terminated from the 19th of March.
What are my chances on this? I am so confused right now and I really need help.

False accusation of theft
12
Q: Hi,
My business partner has on numerous occasions falsely accused me of theft of company property. These accusations were made by email and in a legal notice from his lawyers, and I have proof of all communication as well as my innocence. As well as that all of his accusations are without any proof whatsoever.
There is already an ongoing criminal case between myself and him as he physically attacked me a few weeks ago.
I want to know what I can do to stop him from constantly sending me emails accusing me of theft and threatening me. Can I take out a case against him for false accusations?
Thanks

الطعن بتهمة تزوير وتبديد لعدم حياد الخبير
1
س: السلام عليكم،
لدي صديقان إخوة تم اتهامهم بالتبديد وتزوير محضر وحكمت محكمة الجزاء على المتهم الاول سنتين وإبعاد والثاني 6 أشهر. تم الاستئناف، ولعدم ثبوت التزوير خفضت التهمة إلى سنة وإلغاء الإبعاد وتأييد الحكم على المتهم الثاني.
قيمة الأموال تقدر ب 800 ألف درهم وتم في محكمة الجزاء ندب خبير محاسبة والذي وضع كل طلبات جهة الادعاء مع تجاهل أي طلب للمتهمين من شهود وأوراق قدمت للخبير. تم الطعن في القضية.
الأسئلة:
كيف يتم إقناع قضاة الطعن بضرورة مراجعة القضية لعدم حياد الخبير؟
وكيف ستكون إجراءات القضية المدنية فيما بعد؟ وهنا أقصد في حالة التبديد هل سيتم دفع المبلغ كاملاً أو على دفعات شهرية كما هو الحال مع الشيكات؟
أرجو الافادة

متى يسقط الحق في الشكوى بعد وقوع السرقة؟
3
س: متى يسقط الحق في الشكوى بعد السرقة؟
مع العلم أنه يوجد اعتراف خطي بالسرقة. هل يسقط حقًا بعد 3 أشهر؟ أريد أن أفهم هذه الجملة.
إذا كان زوجًا للجاني أو أحد أقرانه أو فروعه لأنني لا أعرف السارق شخصيًا.
هل هذا الشرط لا ينطبق ويمكنني تقديم شكوى في أي وقت؟
أرجو الرد!

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؟

كيف يمكنني الاستعلام عن قضية إبعاد أمني ومحاولة العودة إلى الإمارات؟ 0
السلام عليكم،
أود الاستفسار بشأن قضية إبعاد زوج خالتي من دولة الإمارات العربية المتحدة. زوج خالتي كان مقيماً في الإمارات وكان قد وُلد وترعرع هناك.
في عام 2013 تم إبعاده من الإمارات، وكان ذلك نتيجة لسياسات حكومية كانت تستهدف مجموعة من المقيمين في تلك الفترة، وهو لم يكن قد ارتكب أي مخالفة في ذلك الوقت وكان يُعتبر ضحية للسياسات المتبعة.
أرغب في معرفة الإجراءات التي يجب أن أتبعها حالياً من أجل رفع هذا الإبعاد وتمكينه من العودة إلى الإمارات.
أرجو أن توضح لي كيف يمكنني مساعدته في هذا الموضوع.
شكراً جزيلاً.

My previous organization has not yet released EOSB because I contacted a client. Is this legal? 0
I recently joined a new organization in the Hamriyah Free Zone, and my previous organization has not released my end-of-service benefits.
The HR has instructed the finance team not to do so because I had contacted one of their clients.
In my DMCC contract, there is no Non-Compete clause, but the offer letter has one, and now they are not releasing the end-of-service.
Is this legal? What are my rights?

How to file a case against my former company for unpaid salary I was not on their visa? 0
Dear Legal Advice Middle East,
I hope you are well.
I am seeking legal advice regarding an unpaid salary issue with my former employer, [-----]2 LLC. I was employed with them from December 4, 2024, to January 7, 2025, on a monthly salary of 5,000 AED.
However, I only received a partial payment of 2,473 AED on February 24, 2025. The remaining 2,527 AED is still unpaid.
I submitted a complaint to MOHRE on March 2, 2025, but I am unable to proceed further through their official channels.
This is because I was working under the visa of my previous employer, [---] LLC, and not under [----]’s sponsorship.
As a result, I do not meet the criteria to file a labor complaint via the MOHRE app or hotline.
Given this situation, I would appreciate your guidance on how I can legally pursue the recovery of my remaining salary, considering the complications related to my visa status during the employment.

Does filing an online rental dispute by a landlord lead to a travel ban on the tenant? 0
Hello,
Does the initiation of an online rental dispute case by a landlord in Dubai automatically lead to the imposition of a travel ban on the tenant?
This is not related to bounced cheques; the dispute concerns wear and tear versus damage claims by the landlord.
