Obtaining refund from the developer for project delay


11
Q: I booked an off-plan studio in R.E.P. DIP. The developer posts to me the contract to sign. I signed the contract and posted it back to their address.
The texture property In Dubai has been dealing and I transferred 10% to reserve the unit in June 2015. I have paid over 30% until the end of Dec 2016.
I stopped paying the rest of instalments because after viewing 0% construction report through DLD website and neither developer has provided me Oqood.
There is still no construction as per the DLD report for project number 1514. I am considering to get a refund.
The total price of the studio is AED 330000. 10% at the outset, 36 equal instalments during construction, 20% on handover and 18 equal instalments after the handover.
I have paid 10% and 18 equal instalments out of 36 during the construction as per contract. Total AED 109,973.94 paid: AED 109,973.00
What are the possibilities to get a refund from the developer? How much would it cost?

How to terminate the SPA of a property and claim refund for delay

1
Q: I have purchased an off-plan property from a Dubai based developer. The project is delayed and not yet completed and the DLD App is showing 85% progress.
As per the SPA, handover date is Q2/2018. I've sent 2 delay notices already during the last years, to the developer as per the SPA.
The developer verbally informed me that the Building Completion Certificate is planned in November and completion notices due on December 2020. This cannot be trusted as last year they informed the same.
Further, the developer's agent is just saying now I can't terminate the SPA since the progress achieved is more than 85% - as per the UAE property Law. This is not in line with the SPA as per my understanding.
40% of the apartment amounts are paid timely and in full together with 4% DLD Fees. Balance 60% is due only at the handover.
Currently, I want to terminate the SPA and obtain a full refund. Please advise legally how to take action on this requirement?
Thank you and waiting to hear from you.

View allCan the landlord request the tenant to pay the chiller in the middle of the contract? 0
I live in Dubai Marina, and the landlord claimed that according to new Dubai Land regulations, the chiller now has to be paid by the person occupying the apartment.
Even though my contract says that the landlord should pay the chiller, they want to implement this mid-contract.
I understand that the terms upon renewal will be renegotiated, but on what grounds can they implement the change mid-contract?
Does a new DLD regulation precede a tenancy contract? Moreover, I am receiving a disconnection notice from the chiller company due to non-payment.
What can I do if this happens?
Please advise.

Cleaner's resignation with 30-day notice in incomplete contract 0
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.

The ownership of a code of a web application 0
Hello,
I represent a tech-based marketplace company registered in a Freezone, in the UAE.
This is in regards to the UAE's law regarding the ownership of code when there is no clause mentioned in the agreement. One of our products (web application) is being developed by an agency in the UAE.
While we do have agreements in place, there is no clause regarding ownership of code. In the situation mentioned above, I've heard that the ownership of code either goes to the author or the agency that employed the author. Is this true?
Your assistance and help would be of great help.
