Filing a civil case against a company for denying partnership investment

Hi,

I want to get advice on what I should do with a company based in Dubai, which is not adding me as a partner even after payment of 100% my share money.

I have even paid double by investing all my salaries of 16 months. I am out of the UAE now.

Please advise.

Many thanks.

Dear Sir

If you have a proof of payment, then you can file a civil case in the court.

Best regards,

Thanks, Madam, for the quick response.

Yes, I have all the evidence with me.

I am little confused as I think this is like a fraud case, then why should I go for a civil suit?

Further, if you can share with me the procedure, required time and aligned costs, it would be much helpful for me to proceed.

Regards,

Sajjad

Dear Mr Sajjad

It's not a fraud case but a civil dispute. You need to engage a law firm that will provide the consultation.

Hello,

Firstly, I would like to know more, as in do you have any documents to prove that this was your money?

Secondly, do you have an agreement with them or any sort of understanding signed by all the parties involved?

In the absence of all of the above, you should at least have some emails and bank transfers or cheques to prove a commercial relationship.

We can send them a legal notice from the notary public as a start, and try to reach a settlement with them on your behalf.

However, the chances of that working are usually low if they have already refused. Then after that, a civil case in Dubai court is the only option.

If you would like to further this, please contact me at yousif@alsaffar-legal.com to discuss details in private, and I can tell you about your available options.

Regards,

Thanks, Yousif, for your kind reply.

Yes, I have all the proofs in the form of receipts on company Letterhead, some bank transactions directly to the CEO/Manager personal account for this purpose.

I also have a signed employment and partnership agreement as active salaried director while there has been no legal addition they made for me as a partner.

So I have given them a verbal option that either they should act as per the agreement or they have to pay back all of my investment if they are not going to include me as a partner like they promised.

Please guide me and also share the cost they will incur if I opt for either the legal notice from the notary public or after refusing settlement and filing a civil suit.

Best regards,

Sajjad
