Q: I issued a general power of attorney to my friend who was supposed to take care of some things while I was away.
When I came back I found out that he sold my cars and all properties to himself.

Misusing the power of attorney by a partner of joint property
2
Q: Dear Sir/Madam
I issued a General Power of Attorney to someone for renting our property. (He and I own a property together in Dubai).
Since he took the POA, He hasn't paid my share of rental and doesn't even answer my calls anymore!
I don’t even know what has happened to our property or even to my share. (I think that he has stolen my share).
I have sent several emails to agents that do business with him and asked them to give me all copies of tenancy contracts and all other documents about my property, but they haven't replied to my requests yet.
I like to mention that He has taken all the copies of the POA and Deed of Property and I don’t have any copy of the Deed or POA.
What shall I do?
Thanks

Liability of the power of attorney holder
2
Q: I have been appointed as a POA holder on behalf of my boss/owner of my company to act on his behalf.
He told us that he would help us in all financial aid from USA (where he is residing) and we just need to run the operations here in the UAE.
However, it's been quite a while where we have not received any support/financial assistance from him and there are a lot of unpaid bills pending here.
I would like to know if I cancel my POA, can I get away with this mess or will I still be liable to pay and be penalized?

Can I charge my friend with breach of trust for not sending money from my property sale?




1
Q: Hello,
I gave an online POA to my friend, who has a UAE residence visa, to sell my property. I gave another online POA to his brother to receive money on my behalf. I do not have a residence visa.
They did not provide me with a copy of the POAs. He sold my property in JLT, and his brother received the money, but they did not send the money to me.
Can I now open a case against them with the charge of "breach of trust" or any other charge that suits this case?
Thanks a lot!

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!
