Q: Dear Sir
I am a Dubai resident.
Last month, Mashreq filed a criminal case against me for credit card cheque bounce of AED 60000. I paid the fine and got released from the police station.
Now, they called me again and said they are going to file a civil case against me. If they file a civil case, will there be any immediate travel ban?
Also, advise if the police can arrest me on the basis of this civil case immediately.

Can I cancel my house sale contract without extra fees after personal plans changed? 0
Dear Lawyers,
I signed a Form F with a buyer for the sale of my house as we were planning to leave the country. The contract was signed about a month ago, but the handover is not until August.
Due to personal circumstances changing, we are no longer leaving Dubai and would like to cancel Form F.
The Form F contract stipulates that we have to pay the buyer 10% of the purchase value. The real estate agent is now claiming that we also have to pay the buyer's real estate commission and the conveyancing fee.
Our understanding is that the 10% penalty is the only penalty. Which is correct, and what are the next steps to dispute this?
Also, is there any way to dispute the 10% itself under the law due to personal circumstances changing?
