حق بائع العقار في مقاضاة المشتري والسمسار لتقديمهما مستندات مزورة

مرحبًا،

لقد وقعت مؤخرًا عقد بيع لعقاري من خلال وسيط في دبي. كان من المفترض أن يقوم السمسار بإيداع 10٪ في صورة شيكات.

عندما طلبت نسخة من شيكات الإيداع ، أدركت أنها من طرف ثالث.

أثناء إجراء فحص وتدقيق عن شركة الجهة الخارجية، اكتشفت أن الشركة التابعة لجهة خارجية لديها رخصة تجارية منتهية الصلاحية (قدمت تواريخ صالحة على الرخصة التجارية، مما يعني أن وثيقة الترخيص التجاري الحكومية مزورة) والآن تقترب تواريخ اتفاقية البيع من نهايتها؛ ليس لدي شيكات مديرين ولا شيكات إيداع صالحة.

المستندات الوحيدة التي أمتلكها هي إيداع الشيكات المقدمة من طرف ثالث، وخطاب ضمان من شركة الطرف الثالث (مع توقيع مزور مُلصق بنسخة وبدون ختم، ورخصة تجارية مزورة لشركة الطرف الثالث).

ماذا بإمكاني أن أفعل؟

Dear Questioner,

From your statement, I understand that you are acting as the seller of your property and there was an MOU signed between you and the buyer (which is an individual).

The security deposit cheque collected by the broker, was issued by a company and not by the buyer itself, and based on your checking, the company's license expired.

The broker provided you with a copy of the company's trade license which shows that the company license has been renewed and you suspect that this license has been forged.

If my understanding is correct, then you can file a criminal complaint about the forged document(s) and after the expiry date of the MOU, you can deposit the security deposit cheque. If the cheque gets bounced, you can file another criminal complaint against the signatory of the cheque.

Moreover, in the meantime, you can start a legal action against the buyer for the guarantee that he is supposed to issue, to the relevant authorities mentioned in the MOU.

If you need my assistance, please feel free to contact me at my email.

Best Regards,

Raluca Gatina.

Correction* the broker provided me with a copy of the trade license, however, upon checking the online government portal, it shows that the company's trade license has been expired since 2019.

If I was to proceed with filing a criminal complaint against the buyer for both fraud documents as well as bounced cheque, what are the procedures to follow through?

What are the costs that I will be facing? Will my asset be frozen while the court case is ongoing?

Also, what responsibilities does the agency take since they provided me with the buyer's fake documents and never provided me with legit deposit cheques till today?

To respond your questions: you have to deposit the cheque to the bank. If the cheque get bounced you can file criminal complaint through the Dubai Police system and then you will have to go to the police and submit the original cheque. For the fraud and forged document, you will have to approach directly the police station. However, I recommend you to hire a lawyer to run all the process. The asset will not be frozen.

If you have evidence that the broker acted in bad faith, you can take legal action against them too.

Dear Questioner,

From what we understand, we advise you to visit the relevant economic department to first ensure that the License is indeed forged.

Once it has been established that the License is forged, you need to file a criminal complaint against the buyer and the real estate agency.

We would also need to review the MOU to advise you.

You can file a civil suit for the breach of contract and claim damages.

We would however need more information to provide you with appropriate legal advice.

You can contact us on our phone to discuss this in detail.

Regards.
