Amending the parties of a claim to include the real owners of the property

1
Q: I won a real estate case last year and I'm at the final stage of execution against an LLC which has just little assets.
Today, I learnt that this LLC has never been the owner of my ex-property as incorrectly written in my SPA. Instead, all the properties of that project, including the land, belong to 2 individuals who are the real owners as named on the title deed that all buyers received after having paid the 4% of registration.
I would like to know how can I redirect my case towards those persons who still have a lot of assets in the building?

Can I re-open criminal and civil cases for fraud after withdrawing them?

1
Q: I filed criminal charges of fraud against a Dubai resident in 2018 through a UK debt collector. The debt collector told me the criminal case had not been accepted, and so did the defendant. The debt collector may have filed a civil case.
The defendant promised to pay me back and pressured me into withdrawing the civil case. I agreed and signed a waiver to withdraw the civil case. He sent me the waiver to get notarized. I live in the UK.
However, I now suspect that the criminal case may have actually been accepted after all (without my knowing) and that the defendant tricked me into waiving my criminal and civil rights so that the court would be lenient.
What can I do now? I would never have signed the waiver had I known the criminal case had been accepted.
I presume I cannot file the same charges again?
I have evidence in whatsapp chat of him saying there was no criminal case accepted.

How to protect myself from being scammed again when withdrawing a criminal case?

2
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
I want to understand the process of withdrawing a criminal case. I had filed a criminal case against a person (for scamming and impersonating a different identity) with the police.
Now, the defendant's family wants me to withdraw the case and claims that they will repay all the losses incurred. Should I:
1. Take them with me to the police station where I filed my case and sign a document.
2. Tell them to hire a lawyer from their side and clarify how the payment will be made.
3. Is there any other way to resolve this matter easily?
I also want to know what exactly should be written in the document.
I don't want to get scammed again, so I would appreciate your advice.

What can be done if a friend is detained in Sharjah and facing UAE deportation? 0
My friend was detained by the Sharjah Police a few days ago; he had no prior legal issues. Now, it seems he is going to be deported.
How can I find out what the problem is and the reason for his impending deportation? Is there any way to have the deportation order cancelled?
Please help if you can; I have a copy of his ID, and he has no immediate family in this country.

UAE inheritance: should succession for an expat start locally or abroad? 0
My brother-in-law (brother of my wife) has passed away in the UAE. He was the only sibling of my wife, and his mother passed away long ago. He had no children and left behind a widow and father. He had a property mortgaged and one off-plan property. He has a car lease and end-of-service pending with his company.
How and where should we start, and what is the best suitable approach? Should we start a succession certificate in the home country and then present it to the UAE court, or start in the UAE?

Unable to contact my landlord: How do I move out and recover my deposit when the tenancy ends? 0
Hello,
I am a tenant in Shoreline, Palm Jumeirah.
I am currently trying to move out of the property where I have lived for the past two years. However, my landlord has become unreachable, and I have been unable to discuss the return of my security deposit or arrange the move-out process.
I provided the required non-renewal notice two months ago and have made several attempts to contact the landlord via both email and WhatsApp, but have received no response. My Ejari expired two days ago, and the community management has advised that they cannot issue a move-out permit without the landlord's involvement. As a result, I am unable to complete the move-out process or hand over the keys.
Could you please advise what steps I should take in this situation? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
