Procedure for filing a criminal complaint against an assault

Q: I caught a girl urinating in front of my door in a flat. When I opened the door, she pushed back.
I managed to get a hand thru and tried to pry her hands off the door handle. She bit me. I was able to pull her hair and she did too.
Eventually, we both got tired and I called the police. I have decided to push for an assault case.
Will I win? What will happen to me? Will I be able to get compensation?
Aside from her bite mark, I also have bruises. Will she have something against me too?
Please advise.

Asking for compensating ex-fiancee for physical and psychological harm
1
Q: Hi
I got a legal notice from my ex-fiancee demanding that I pay her X amount of money for canceling the wedding about 3 weeks prior to the event.
She claims that I caused her physical (we had both equally paid some advance amount towards wedding venues) and psychological harm by canceling the wedding. I called it off after warning her several times to correct her explosive and abusive temper and blatant lies.
What is my best course of action here?
Thanks!

Distressed by a noisy neighbor – How to gather legal proof?




1
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
I have a Russian-Lebanese neighbor, a lady who consistently slams her door so loudly that it makes me uneasy in my living room.
This has been happening for over a year. I reported it to the building supervisor and the manager, but they are all Arabs and have been siding with this lady.
If I decide to file a case, what kind of proof can I legally gather for the noise she makes?
I've heard that video recording is not legal without permission. Is audio recording permissible as proof?
I am leaving the building because of this daily disturbance and would like to know if I can include an inconvenience claim with it.

Canceling my MoU and getting my deposit back due to a low bank valuation and overpriced property 1
Hi,
I wanted to purchase a 2-bedroom apartment in JVC Dubai. I gave a 10% security deposit cheque to the seller. The price mentioned in the MoU is very high compared to other similar apartments in the same building.
The bank’s valuation also came in very low. Since the valuation is much lower, how can I terminate the MoU and get my cheque back? The MoU ends on 1st October 2024.
One of the articles in the MoU states:
In the event that the Buyer fails to make the payments as agreed or fails to complete the transfer on the agreed date due to his own acts or omissions, the Seller has the right to terminate this agreement and retain the deposit, provided that the termination is due to a violation of the agreed terms, unless both parties agree amicably to different dates.
I need help urgently.
