Early termination of limited employment contract
1
Q: Hi. I am employed by a DMCC company with a limited contract. I have finished 1 year 3 months to the company and decided to leave. As this is a small company wherein operated by just me and my boss, he doesn't want to release me till we found a replacement. I am serving my 30 days notice period till 21 of this month and on process of finding a replacement (interviews ongoing).
My question is if he wasn't able to find a replacement till 21 of this month, does he have the right to force me to extend my service? He keeps on threatening me that he will file a case and make a problem for me in mediation and labour.
Please help. I am willing to pay the 45 days early termination fine. I just want to leave the company. :(

Canceling my MoU and getting my deposit back due to a low bank valuation and overpriced property 1
Hi,
I wanted to purchase a 2-bedroom apartment in JVC Dubai. I gave a 10% security deposit cheque to the seller. The price mentioned in the MoU is very high compared to other similar apartments in the same building.
The bank’s valuation also came in very low. Since the valuation is much lower, how can I terminate the MoU and get my cheque back? The MoU ends on 1st October 2024.
One of the articles in the MoU states:
In the event that the Buyer fails to make the payments as agreed or fails to complete the transfer on the agreed date due to his own acts or omissions, the Seller has the right to terminate this agreement and retain the deposit, provided that the termination is due to a violation of the agreed terms, unless both parties agree amicably to different dates.
I need help urgently.
