Q: I am seeking compensation for damages from a company that used my name in fraud.
I have finished the case until the appeal court and the execution court has ordered that the company assets and accounts be attached until they pay the sum required as per the judgement.
The company has been closed since last year and has no more money left in the bank.
If there are no more assets of the company I could go after since the company no longer exists, how else can I get justice aside from the words written on a few sheets of my case judgement paper?
I've spent a lot and exerted a lot of effort seeking justice for myself, and when it is time to collect what the judge has determined what I should have, apparently there is nothing left.
Is there any other legal recourse?
Thanks

After winning the RDC case, the tenant refuses to vacate or pay. What now?

2
Q: Hi,
After winning the first instance in RDC, I filed for execution against my tenant, who refuses to pay and vacate the property.
Upon checking the portal, it showed that the writ notice had been given to the tenant, but there is no scheduled hearing, and the Case Activity is listed as "Case Activated."
Will there be any hearing scheduled, and do I need to make additional requests? Also, when will the eviction date be set?
What steps should I take if the tenant continues to refuse to vacate the property?

What's next if a tenant won't pay or vacate despite winning the case in RDC court?




2
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
The tenant didn't pay rent for over 7 months. I filed a case, and finally won; the RDC court verdict is to evict the tenant and for them to pay all rent and legal fees.
I contacted the tenant, who refused to move out or pay. What's the next step? Do I file for execution via RDC, or will it be automatic? How much does it cost, and how long does it take?
The tenant is arrogant and said he will not pay until I proceed with execution from RDC, and then he will ask for a one-year payment plan!
The whole procedure is very unfriendly to the landlord, with the tenant risking nothing while the landlord incurs lawyer fees, interest losses, and significant time and effort.

Cleaner's resignation with 30-day notice in incomplete contract 7
Hello,
Good afternoon!
My friend works as a cleaner for a cleaning company and she now wants to resign with a 30-day notice. However, she has not completed the two-year contract and has only served for 16 months.
Additionally, she has not taken any vacation leave. The sad part is that when she signed the offer letter, she did not receive a copy of it and only signed it.
I would be very grateful if you could let me know if she would have to pay or if her boss has the right to not accept the resignation if the notice period mentioned in the offer letter is more than a month.
Her boss has not provided her with any kind of proof that she can use in the future if anything happens.

العميل سدد المبالغ التي استخدمها ورفض دفع مبالغ الفائدة البنكية. هل يجوز ذلك؟ 2
السلام عليكم،
هل يحق للبنك في إمارة دبي أن يرفع دعوى جنائية أو مدنية ضد عميل لم يسدد مبالغ الفائدة بل سدد فقط المبالغ التي قدمها البنك أصليًا (مبلغ القرض فقط)؟
منحه البنك بطاقة ائتمانية بحجة أنه "قرض حسن بدون فوائد"، وبعدما استخدم العميل البطاقة الائتمانية بفترة زمنية قصيرة وفجأةً تم إرسال رسالة إلى العميل تفيد بأن هناك مبالغ متراكمة بسبب الفائدة البنكية بقيمة ٤٠٪ من القرض الأساس المُقدم إليه.
علمًا بأنه تم تزويد العميل بالبطاقة الائتمانية عن طريق البريد السريع لعنوان منزله بدون طلب رسمي من العميل بذلك، بالإضافة إلى أنه لا يوجد أي من المستندات التالية بين البنك والعميل:
١- عقد. ٢- اتفاقية. ٣- شيكات كضمان. ٤- سند أو شريعة أو قبول خطي أو غير خطي أو توثيق يتضمن أي توقيع من الأطراف؛ بمعنى آخر، لا يوجد أي اتفاق على الإطلاق.
العميل سدد المبالغ التي استخدمها ورفض دفع مبالغ الفائدة البنكية المضافة سالفة الذكر.
الرجاء الإفادة ولكم جزيل الشكر!
