Cancellation of project and reimbursement from the developer

6
Q: I bought an off-plan property & paid 100 % amount, also paid 4 % Oqood by June 2011.
Now, I learnt through DLD that the property is cancelled as the builder could complete half construction & now it shall go for liquidation.
I am stressed whether I will get the full invested amount after liquidation or just minimal. What do the laws say?

Hello,
How can I file a counter-complaint against a person who made a false report about me for public cursing, which I never did?
He made the complaint about three months after we last met. I now have a case because of it, but I never said any bad words to him.
I was stopped at the airport because of that.

How 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!

View allThe breach of contract with a builder and legal action for delay in delivery 0
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.

How to remove the local sponsor of an LLC company and make it 100% ownership? 0
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?

رفع دعوى مدنية بخصوص شيك مرتد ومن ثم التقدُّم ببلاغ لدى الشرطة 0
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.
