Good day, Sir, I have received a message from the Dubai Court stating that a bank has filed a civil case against me. The loan has been pending since February 2019.

Dear Lawyers, I worked at a bakeshop here in Dubai. I resigned exactly one year ago. Now they want me to pay for visa charges, as stated in the offer letter.

Hi, My company in DMCC is planning to shut down. They are not willing to pay us the gratuity. They have offered the remaining staff, including me, to be transferred to a new company they are opening soon. Is there any way we can get a continuation of the contract in order not to lose our gratuity in the long run? We have all been in the company for more than 8 years now. Many thanks,

We have an enforcement order against our company due to a commercial case in Dubai courts filed by one of our creditors and the office is sealed by the court. The Ejari for the office has expired, in the meanwhile, the real estate is asking me to hand over the office or face another rental case as we are still liable for the rent. The civil case matter is involving a large sum of money which the company is not in a position to pay right now but does not want to be liable for another court case. Is there a way for the landlord to get their premises back? How long would the court keep the premises sealed until their next step?
