المطالبة بباقي مبالغ العمولات المتبقية عن مدة عمل قدرها 7 سنوات

2
س: السلام عليكم،
أحتاج إلى استفسار مشكورين.
أعمل في شركة مقاولات بصفة مدير تسويق وتم الاتفاق على عمولة ١% على المشاريع التي أقوم بتوقيعها ولكن لم يتم ذكرها في عقد العمل.
كنت أحصل على مبالغ تحت الحساب من حساب العمولة وعملت لمدة ٧ سنوات في الشركة.
هل يحق لي المطالبة بكامل العمولة المتبقية مع وجود رسائل بيني وبين مالك الشركة بالمبالغ المدفوعة تحت الحساب من بند العمولة؟

المطالبة بعمولة غير مذكورة في العقد ولكن مُتفق عليها

1
س: السلام عليكم،
لدي مشكلة مع شركتي وأحتاج استشارة لرفع قضية عمالية.
هل يمكن المطالبة بعمولة تم الاتفاق عليها ولم تُذكَر في عقد العمل ولم تُدفَع بشكل دوري أو في موعد محدد ومدة العمل كانت ٨ سنوات؟
العمولة كانت تُدفَع بشكل متقطع وبدفعات تحت الحساب، فهل يحق المطالبة؟
الشركة ترفض دفع العمولة بحجة أوضاع الكورونا. مع العلم أني كنت أستلم الدفعات بشيكات.
بارك الله فيكم أفيدوني!

س: السلام عليكم،
أنا صاحب شركة أصدرت خطابًا أو عرض عمل ذكرت به نسبة مبيعات، ولكن عند توقيع عقد العمل لم أذكر النسبة في العقد.
هل هناك قوة لعرض العمل أم عقد العمل هو ما يُثبت الحقوق والالتزامات؟

How do I resolve a year-long pending police complaint to lift the travel ban? 1
Hello,
I need help!
A year ago, my previous employer filed a complaint at the police station accusing me of abuse. He did this because I had taken him to the labor court for not paying my salary.
The labor court case was resolved, and I received my salary. However, the police complaint is still pending. Initially, the police took my statement and informed me to wait for a court summons.
It has now been a year, and I have not received any summons. The case is still under police investigation. They have also informed me that there is a travel ban against me.
How can I remove this case from the police station?

Can I claim all the cheques, even though some will cover the amount owed? 1
Dear Sir/Madam,
I have invested money in a company in the UAE and got post-dated cheques. They requested to delay the payment for a long time. Now, I deposited one cheque and it bounced.
I am creating a cheque execution case. However, I have a few more cheques to deposit that they owe me. They gave me around 5 cheques, of which 3 will cover the money they owe.
Can I claim all the cheques? Will I face legal issues from them?

Can the new owner of an apartment increase my rent if it is against RERA Index? 0
Hi
I'm a tenant of an apartment and a new owner has purchased the apartment. I would like to know:
1. Should I revise the Ejari by canceling the previous one and applying for a new one?
2. My current rent is 35% less than the current market value. Can the new owner change the rent as per the market value, or he still has to follow the RERA Index calculator for a new contract?

I agreed with my landlord to increase the rent 10% I pay in cash. Should I insist on changing the contract? 0
I'm staying in JLT in a house with a rent of AED 140,000 per year. The lease starts on 1st Sep '23 and expires on 31st Aug '24.
The landlord sent me a legal notice from the Dubai Courts in mid-Sep '23, giving me 1-year notice to vacate the house as he plans to sell the house. The notice was received by me through email from the court.
He claims the email notice sent by the court is not valid till I receive it by courier via Aramex for my physical signature. Can you please confirm if this is true?
The landlord is now ready to let me stay in this house for two more years. He has proposed that we maintain the existing lease agreement and Ejari. However, I should pay him AED 14,000 in cash (10% increment).
We will sign a separate paper document wherein we will agree that I will further rent increase of 10% (10% on (140,000+14,000)) on 1st Sep'24 when my current lease expires.
Should I insist on making a fresh written contract with the higher rent (140,000+14,000=154,000)?

I have signed Form F and got the mortgage but the seller is in breach. What to do? 1
Hi
I have signed the MOU Form F since July 2023 and we prepared all the papers and the loan from my end on 23/8/2023.
When I went to DLD for the transfer, the seller had registration issues and asked for some papers to be provided as the property is under the company not an individual.
Since that time, we have kept renewing the MOU every month in the hope of finalizing but I am not seeing any progress.
So I am asking about legal action as I already got a bank mortgage and started paying as well but not seeing any progress from the seller.
So I need to ask the following:
1. If my MOU expired on 20.11.2023, can I file a complaint on 20 or after a couple of days like 23?
2. What will happen in terms of 10%? Will it be returned and what about the fees paid to the bank like mortgage fees, evaluation, and cancellation of loan? Will the EMI payment be compensated by the seller?
3. What is your advice?
Thanks

Dubai landlord served eviction notice to tenant but now wants to revoke it 1
Dear Sir/Madam,
I own an apartment in Dubai and served the tenant a legal eviction notice through Dubai courts in March 2023. The reason for the eviction notice was that I was planning to move into the apartment.
However, my circumstances have changed, and the original tenancy contract end date is December 2023. The tenant has now requested a one-month extension of the contract until January 2024.
Can I revoke the eviction notice that I have already served?

How can I claim my settlement if the company is inactive but some branches still operate? 0
Hello,
I got a judgment from Dubai Court stating that the employer should do my settlement. It’s been years, but I still haven't received the payment in my account.
When I checked with Al Adheed Center, they said if the company is not active, it’s not possible to get the money.
However, it’s a group of companies, and a few branches are still running. Is there any chance to claim it, or can I appeal directly to the court?

Can I file a case against a friend for privacy breach if he claimed I scolded him for his act? 0
On Jan 2, 2025, one of my close friends did a privacy breach and recorded me and my van in some specific place.
On Feb 5, when I called and asked him why he did this to me, he went and gave a complaint that I scolded him and threatened him.
The same case was later closed by the PP when we negotiated outside the station and apologized.
At this juncture, can I file a privacy breach case against him, which happened on Jan 2, 2025, and on Feb 5 I scolded him only for the privacy breach that happened on Jan 2?
