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؟

View allHow to file an online defamation case from the Philippines against someone in Dubai? 0
Hello,
I'm currently looking for legal advice regarding an online defamation case. I am a Filipino citizen currently residing in the Philippines. The person I want to file a complaint against is also a Filipino citizen and is currently based in Dubai.
I have already sought legal consultation, but it cost me a lot for just a simple session. Unfortunately, I don’t think I can afford to proceed with the fees required for sending a warning or demand letter to the person I’m complaining about.
I would really appreciate any help, guidance, or information about possible free or low-cost legal services.
Thank you for your time!
