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?

As-salam Alaikum, My labor execution case number is {.....}. Al Adheed center asked me to get back after 21 days. More than 21 days are completed, but they are still asking me to wait till June 01. It is still in process. I need to know how long will it take to get my settlement from the company? Kindly advise me! Thanks & Regards,

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?

Hello, I have signed an MOU where the buyer failed to complete the transaction as per the date of transfer plus the extension. Thus, the MOU expired. I have requested from the agency the 10% deposit cheque signed by the buyer. They refused to give it to me and requested an extension without any penalties or price increase despite the market appreciation by 10%. What can I do to get the cheque legally from them? I am already in a big issue because I already bought a bigger unit having in mind that my unit is sold. They are asking for an MOU extension but the prices went up and I request the fair price as per the market and they are refusing to pay the increase. Appreciate it if somebody can provide me with feedback on these two points: 1- Can the agency hold the cheque and not give it to me? Aren't they violating the law here? 2- What can be done in this case and what would the next steps be? Thanks in advance, Regards,

Hi, good morning, I’m an Indian residing in the UAE and want to apply for a divorce. My husband and I have been living separately for more than 3 years, and he has been living in India since our separation. We are both Indians and Christians (non-Muslims). We have a son who is 8 years old now. Can you please let me know the divorce procedure if we want to proceed in the UAE, both with and without mutual consent? Additionally, please advise on how to proceed with custody, as my son currently resides with me. Thank you!

A company is registered in a free zone (Dubai South) and had 4 shareholders. But now one of them passed away and the successor is a very old lady, who is not cooperative and will not be able to sign any document at all (and she lives in another country). We have no idea who will be a successor after this old lady and these people will in fact never be interested to do anything with this company. The company is financed and managed by only one shareholder, who is willing to continue. What can be done in this scenario to keep this company and continue operations? How to transfer the shares of the deceased shareholder (buyout, shares transfer)? Is there any court procedure where if no one claims their rights after some time, the shares will automatically be transferred to the company itself or the third parties? Thank you. A.

Hello, I got an offer letter from another company. I want the immediate cancellation paper before 20th April. I don't have time to submit my notice period registration. What should I do? Please give me the best advice!

Hello, During the notice period, is an employee allowed to take sick leave? If not, can the employer deduct the sick leave from the employee’s end-of-service benefits? Additionally, what is the legal basis for this? Specifically, which law or ministerial decision governs this matter?

Lawyers misunderstood my question. Please read carefully and then guide me. Case Type: Civil Case Claim amount: 400,000 Paid: 65,000 Reason: Commercial agreement of supply Emirate: Ajman This case was registered in 2022. The judgment was in my absence, as notices were sent to the wrong address. I was sent to jail. I made a down payment, bailed, and paid some more amount as installments. The total paid amount is AED 65000. Now, again, an arrest warrant is issued as I did not pay the remaining 335,000 of the claim. According to me, I had to pay only this amount because the executioner made a wrong claim, not as per the genuine claim. So I want to reopen the case file. I want the court to reinvestigate and start the case from scratch. 1) How can I make that request? 2) What documents are required? 3) Chances of reopening of case? 4) Cancellation of arrest warrant Please guide me in detail, as I will do everything myself, as I cannot afford a lawyer right now.

I booked a hotel stay for Eid through a travel agency two weeks before Eid. The travel agency confirmed the booking on payment. One day before Eid, the agency reached out, saying they had an issue with the supplier/hotel and the booking would be cancelled. They offered alternative hotels that didn’t match the original property. I suggested some properties, and they couldn’t arrange them, or they asked for further payment, so I didn’t book anything through them. What are my rights to a refund and compensation, as I had to book other arrangements separately at a significantly higher cost due to the last-minute prices? It also caused significant emotional distress, less than 24 hours before the holiday. To which authority can a complaint be made in case of an unsatisfactory outcome? Both the agency and the hotel are in Dubai.

Hi, I have been here for 3 years now and paid the increased amount (as per the agreement) for the 4th year. However, the landlord did not send me back the signed contract, although I have both made the payment for the full year via bank transfer and sent my signed contract to him. I need to renew my Ejari; however, how can I do it without the landlord's signature? I have all the previous contracts signed by both parties, along with the Ejari for those contracts.
