Hello sir, We have an employee who was under probation period on a limited contract and with our company visa. The performance is poor and it is found that he is working for another company (his old work) while working with us. So the management decided to terminate the contract. Apart from the salary, do we have to pay his ticket fare?

I recently purchased a property in Springs which is rented till September. I need legal advice on the procedure to send an eviction notice to my tenant as I need to occupy the property for personal use. As far as I read in the RERA legislation Page 108-110, Article (25) - Section - 2, if the landlord wants to occupy the property for personal use, 90 days notice is sufficient. But the tenant insists to have a 12-month notice. What are my options and is it possible to send a legal notice to the tenant to vacate the premises at the end of the rent contract? Kindly advise

Greetings, The property was supposed to be delivered in June 2018 and is still not delivered. If they actually deliver by June 2021, what are my rights to the compensation? At the time of purchase, it was a 50-50 payment plan. I paid the 50% at the time of purchase and in September 2019 they came back to me with an offer of a discount of 16% in the final settlement amount. I accepted and paid the remaining amount as well. Therefore as of September 2019, I have paid 100% of the property value. With all the financial challenges the delay has brought me into, I want to know what compensation is my right as I am assuming they will not be offering anything or if they do they might offer some waiver in service charges (for 1 or 2 years). And I am worried if they give this waiver of service charges to everyone, will the property be actually taken care of or no?

Hello, I am originally from the UK and relocated to Dubai in 2004 when my company established a new office. I originally joined the same company in 2001, based in the London office. Since then, I have grown with the organization and am in a middle management role. Recently, the company announced they would downsize the Dubai office, and affected staff would be offered to relocate back to an office in their home country (India) or to the new office being established in Spain. I have been advised that my present role will be made redundant in Dubai but have been offered a new role in Spain. The new role is seen as a promotion but there are little to no benefits and it's a major drop in salary (basic salary would drop by 40%). There are no additional allowances. Currently, I receive basic salary + allowances. I have been in the UAE since 2004 and my options appear to be limited to accept redundancy or a new role with a significant drop in salary. Would this be considered constructive dismissal?

Dear Lawyer, We are 18 landowners 200 yards each entered into a development agreement with a builder on 2/2014. Then conditions are that the builder in his share of 50:50 can construct flats and sell. With a GPA fraudulently obtained, 18 months time with a grace period of 6 months to complete and handover fully furnished the flats. In case of delay, a rent of 6000 per month and 3 lakhs refundable deposit are to be paid to each landowner. The builder neither handed over the flats (60% built) nor paying rent or deposit of 3 lakhs. Electricity meters are fixed on our name and we are all paying minimum charges. The builder is not responding to our phone calls nor attending meetings whenever called for. The builder sold his share of flats. Please advise me the best. L.

In accordance with the new FDI law in UAE - Dubai, what is the (steps/cost/requirements/time frame) to remove the 51% shares local sponsor holder, and make it 100% foreign ownership? Additional info for accurate answer: - The foreign owner and the foreign manager are out of the UAE, and the only physical - available person is the PRO person. - The local sponsor is a company with 4 partners, So, I wonder if ALL of the partners will be required to attend physically for the procedure of the 100% foreign ownership transfer, or only the PRO and the POA person will be enough? - The concerned company is an LLC Japanese company for water equipment trading, so it will be under the UAE cabinet positive list, right?

I would like a quote for the following documents: - IP Assignment Agreement - Software Development Agreement - Independent Contractor Contract - Client Agreement

هل هناك مانع من رفع دعوى مدنية بخصوص شيك مرتد ومن ثم التقدُّم ببلاغ لدى الشرطة؟ أي هل سلوك الطريق المدني لا يُسقِط حقي في توقيع العقوبة على الشخص الذي وقَّع على الشيك؟ سبب السؤال أن الشركة التي أصدرت الشيك بدون رصيد صدر قرار من الدولة لوقف اتخاذ إجراءات جزائية ضدها مؤقتًا؛ لذلك أريد أن أسلك الطريق المدني ثم الجزائي لاحقًا.

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?

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?

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.

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!
