Q: I have submitted my passport to the Dubai public prosecution for my friend on a bounced cheque case and he didn't attend his hearing.
The judge announced a one-month sentence against him, and now I am unable to contact him and I don't know whether he is in the UAE or not.
How can I get my passport back because I want to travel home?
Is there any option to get my passport by paying a fine or any other possible option?

Claiming your passport from the public prosecution after bailing a friend
4
Q: Hi.
I kept my passport as a guarantee for a friend in the public prosecution more than a year back. He left the country without telling me and hasn't come back into the country so far.
In the meantime, verdicts were declared for his cases and he has to go to jail. So, he refuses to come back or settle the case.
I am stuck here with my passport in court. I have tried setting up meetings with the public prosecutor but every time the online application gets rejected, even for a meeting with the public prosecutor.
This has created a big issue for me and my family. Is there anything I can do to get my passport out?

Releasing the passport of a guarantor in a loan case from police

Q: Hi Sir,
I would like to ask for advice.
My sister has a case with a bank in Sharjah and we found out when she came back to the UAE on a visit visa last year.
She was detained in Dubai Airport and brought to Sharjah police on the same day and was released when I gave my passport in exchange.
We tried to settle an amount yet again they keep asking for more and change the settlement amount and came to the point that my sister needs to leave the country leaving my passport still in Sharjah police custody.
What do I need to do or bring to Sharjah court to release my passport?
I would appreciate your kind advice.

How to renew a passport while there is a sentenced case?

2
Q: Hi attorney,
I have several police cases. One of them is sentenced to 1 month in jail. The other ones have fines indicated. I need to find a job, but unfortunately, I lost also my passport.
For me to sort out all of these cases, I need first to renew my passport, but while doing this, I have to go to the police station and get a police report, but I'm afraid that they will hold me there and send me directly to jail when they find out that I have a sentenced case.
What is the best thing for me to do?

How to claim damages from a dentist for negligence and malpractice 0
Hi,
I went to a clinic for teeth braces to make my teeth straight and they told me that they need to remove 2 teeth and then they will put braces.
So they did the same and on 3rd visit, the other doctor asked me to do an x-ray to check the situation.
She checked my x-ray and told me that sorry we can't do this treatment with the braces because it's a bone problem, so you can go to a surgeon.
Now, I am struggling with pain and even all my teeth are shaking. I want to file a case for a money claim.
Please advise on this.

How to recover the amount of a bounced cheque after a criminal case 0
Dear all,
Greetings,
A company issued me a post-dated cheque but when I went to the bank to cash it, It turned out that there were insufficient funds.
I have reported the case to the Dubai police but still, nothing happened.
What should I do next? Will I get my money at the end? When may I get my money as I really need it?
Thanks in advance

Claim against the car company for denying warranty coverage 0
Good morning,
I had an issue with my car Audi A3 when it gave a signal of gearbox malfunction. This happened during the warranty and it read you can continue driving.
I informed the service advisor of the same which they said it should be some system error and nothing to worry about. It was not even mentioned in the service history.
The next time I got the same error signal was 1 day before the warranty ended and I took the car to repair after the warranty as I thought again it is a system error.
This time they said the mechatronics of the car is spoilt and to replace it will cost 17000. I informed them that this happened during the warranty and should be repaired under warranty.
They said it was given after the warranty so they cannot consider. I repaired the car as I was scared it would breakdown any time.
Can I fight a case against this as they did not provide proper details which could've alerted me to submit the car under warranty?
