4
Q: We have a partnership owned LLC company in Dubai - 60% shareholder in Qatar, 20% me & 20% another sleeping partner (we both are signatories in Dubai).
Recently, the sleeping partner holding the same share 20% has accused me of fraud in the company. He stopped my monthly remuneration and asked me to give away my phone and car.
Now, he went to telecom and complained about a missing SIM, the number I have been using for more than 5 years.
I have been a working partner for more than 12 years, and now I am suddenly sitting in my office forcefully.
How can this be stopped legally?

Suing a partner for mismanagement of funds and causing losses
3
Q: I'm a partner in a company.
My partner who is also a manager ruined the company. There's a big load of debts in the market which also crossed the capital.
Is there any way, according to the law, by which I can sue him for mismanagement of funds and get my investment back?
If the capital is gone and further losses are more than the capital, what are my legal rights in this situation?

س: السلام عليكم،
كنت أعمل في شركة خاصة وبعد حدوث مشكلة عمالية مع صاحب العمل، رفعت دعوى عمالية وكسبتها الحمد لله.
رب عملي استحوذ على دفتر الشيكات الخاص بي وحرر شيكًا لصالحه ووقّع على دفتر الشيكات. التوقيع لا يمت لي بأي صلة وقد ارتجع الشيك بسبب إغلاق الحساب.
حصل على قرار بدفع المبلغ بأمر الأداء وفتح ملف تنفيذ ضدي.
ماذا أفعل؟

Can a debt agency access AECB reports without consent for a 15-year-old closed case? 0
Dear Respected Lawyers,
Subject: Request for Legal Advice Regarding Unlawful Practices by a Debt Collection Agency
I would greatly appreciate your advice and guidance regarding a troubling issue my colleague is facing with a collection agency.
The company has been contacting the employer, urging them to ask my colleague to get in touch with them regarding a supposed liability.
This claim is related to a 15-year-old closed dispute with a bank credit card, and the issue seems to stem from outdated and inaccurate information on the AECB report.
Our main concerns are as follows:
Unauthorized Access: The company is accessing her AECB report without her consent. She has never given permission for them to retrieve or view her personal financial information.
How is it possible for a third-party agency to openly access and track AECB reports, especially for a dispute that was resolved 15 years ago?

I was evicted from my apartment to be sold but it was gifted and rented at a higher price. What can I do? 0
I was evicted from my apartment after living there for five years. My landlord informed me a year in advance that the lease would not be renewed because he intended to sell the property.
Prior to this, he attempted to impose a rent increase that was not compliant with RERA regulations, which I refused to accept. He then served me with an official Dubai Court eviction notice, citing the need to take back the property for sale.
Five months after I moved out, I discovered the property was rented out at a much higher price. Upon further investigation, I found that the ownership was transferred as a "Gift" rather than a sale.
This makes it seem like the eviction was only to raise the rent rather than a genuine need to sell.
Do I have a valid case for wrongful eviction against my landlord?
Also, under Dubai law, does transferring ownership as a "Gift" hold the same legal grounds as selling in justifying eviction?

I invested money in a business but my partner is removing me out from partnership. Can I pursue legal action? 0
Hi
I'm an Irish citizen and a resident of the United Kingdom. I got investment fraud in Dubai. I invested money into a business with a Pakistani national guy in March 2024 via bank transfer into his business account.
Now he's giving back the money which I invested in business after 9 months. He's preparing a letter from a local lawyer to kick me out of the business. I do not have any other option than to take out at least my money.
But it's unfair to me that he used my money in business and took all the advantage.
Some people say to me that if you claim money or take legal action against him, it will take too much time and I need to travel to Dubai to appear in court because it is a civil matter. But I'm not a resident.
How can I follow the civil case there?
That's why my partner knows that I can not do anything and this case keeps running long time and in the end nothing happens. But I'm thinking that I will submit a complaint through my embassy and I also have a solicitor in the United Kingdom.
