Q: My father had a case of a bounced cheque of AED 450k against him filed by a supplier.
He was detained at Al Riffa Police Station and proceeded for Public Prosecution in Barsha where he was sentenced to 3 months in an outer jail.
We did not want to prolong this so we made a settlement with the supplier who filed the case to provide us with Tanazul (Clearance/ NOC), stating that they wish to withdraw the case and settlement has been made.
Is this sufficient to have my father released from jail? What other procedures are involved?

Q: I got a call from Jebel Ali police station as I have a bounced cheque there for 60k with FGB and they want me to go there this morning.
I have been told there is a new policy that allows bounced cheques cases to be resolved at the police station. When the police officer called me he assured me that it can be resolved there within the day.
Is that true? What will happen when I go there?

Q: I have a question regarding a cheque I wrote and bounced on September 25. The bounced cheque was reported to the police.
My question is, how long will it take before the police call me as I’m trying to arrange the funds in 2 weeks?
Would that be realistic or will I be called immediately after the bounced cheque is reported?

رفع دعوى شيك بعد مضي ستة أشهر وتخلف المدين عن السداد


3
س: السلام عليكم،
سلَّفت شخصًا مبلغًا بضمان شيك صادر من شركته الخاصة وموجه لاسمي. بعد تخلُّفه عن أداء الدين، ما استطعت اتخاذ أي إجراء لأنني أضعت الشيك في محيط المكتب ولم يكن لدي صورة أو رقم مرجعي وطبعًا المدين رفض التعاون وأنكر السلفة.
مؤخرًا وجدت الشيك ولكن مضى 6 أشهر. ما الحل الأنسب في هذه الحالة؟ وهل الأفضل توجيه الادعاء ضد الشخص نفسه أم ضد شركته الخاصة؟ وهل أستطيع أن أطالب بالتعويض؟
علمًا بأنه تسبب لي بضرر مادي لعدم إرجاع الدين.
شكرًا على حسن التعاون!

What are the rights of employee in case of redundancy due to COVID-19? 0
I was terminated from employment in June 2021 after receiving and working 1 month's notice. I was on an unlimited contract.
I am still waiting for 2 months' salary, gratuity and leave payment which my employer accepts is due but still not paid.
I have raised a complaint with MOHRE and have the approval to go to Court. However, I was terminated as a result of the employer citing that due to COVID-19 they need to reduce salaries by 30%, letter dated 22nd Apr 2021.
As I refused to sign, I was then terminated, via a letter dated 3rd May 2021, which stated "due to restructuring", my position had become redundant.
The question is - Am I able to claim Arbitrary Dismissal for up to 3 months salary for the unfair termination?

نفقة وحضانة الأبناء في حالة الطلاق للضرر 2
السلام عليكم،
أشكركم على هذه الخدمة الجليلة ووقتكم الثمين!
رفعت زوجتي قضية طلاق للضرر في محكمة الشارقة الشرعية وخسرتها (لم يثبُت الضرر) واستأنفت و خسرت أيضًا.
الآن رفعت قضية جديدة وعيَّنت المحكمة حكَمين وأتوقع أن تكون توصيتهم بالطلاق.
سؤالي يتعلق بالأبناء، لدي ابن وابنة: الابن عمره 14 سنة و8 أشهر مقيم في الإمارات والابنة عمرها 17 سنة و5 أشهر وغير مقيمة في الإمارات وتدرس في الجامعة خارج الدولة.
أسئلتي كالتالي:
- هل للمحكمة ولاية على ابنتي بالرغم من أنها لا تملك إقامة في الإمارات؟
- هل يمكن للزوجة طلب الحضانة للابنة مع أنها تقيم في الإمارات بعيدًا عن الابنة؟
- هل في العادة تحكم المحكمة للأب بحضانة الابن فوق الـ11 سنة أم ستسأل الابن كي يختار مع مَن يقيم؟
- عند الطلاق لن يكون للأب زوجة، فهل يؤثر ذلك في حضانة الابن بالنسبة للأب؟
- ما النفقة المتوقعة إذا كان راتبي 17500 درهم شهريًا؟
