Q: Hi,
I want to know how does my friend get bail. He is in jail for the last 20 days and the police did not present him in front of the court.
Only 1 hearing is done yet but my friend is innocent and my question is why the police did not present my friend in front of the court.
I met him last Friday in jail and nobody told him about the hearing date and status of the case or how he gets bail.

Q: I have a bank case of AED 64000 for which I was caught from Airport upon my return from vacation on Oct 3rd. I was detained in Naif police station and next day they gave me bail by keeping my passport.
Now I have received a summons from court to appear before the prosecutor on Nov 5th. I'm really afraid if they will put me in jail again.
I also didn't go for negotiation with the bank as many of my friends advised me that there is no need for that as I will have to pay only a fine of AED 2000 for this. Is it true?
I feel very worried as the day is approaching. Please help urgently.

The legal course and punishment of a police case for theft

Q: Hello.
I met two Jewish guys in a hotel in 9.12.2020. I went to their room and after 30 minutes left. That evening, the police came to my house searching for money. They didn't find it.
We went to the police station and stayed until morning at the police station. Because there was not enough proof, they let me go. Please help me.
That day I sent my money to my country 3200, can it be like proof against me?
I touched the safety box in front of him but,only door, not pin cod entering the place, is it also a proof?
They have a video like I am doing a sexual act, can it be used against me or he also can have problems? Please help with advice.
In the corridor, I was putting money in my bag and running out of the room. What can I get for such a case? Deportation, jail, fine?
Thank you very much.

View allHow can I renew my Ejari if the landlord hasn’t signed the new contract? 0
Hi,
I have been here for 3 years now and paid the increased amount (as per the agreement) for the 4th year.
However, the landlord did not send me back the signed contract, although I have both made the payment for the full year via bank transfer and sent my signed contract to him.
I need to renew my Ejari; however, how can I do it without the landlord's signature?
I have all the previous contracts signed by both parties, along with the Ejari for those contracts.

My company has filed a case against a client for failure to pay and bounced cheque. How to follow up? 0
Hello.
My company has filed a case against a client for failure to pay and a bounced cheque. The client's company is registered as a virtual office in the Creative City Free Zone in Fujairah, so our case is filed there.
The client basically purchased some equipment from us, and his payment via bank transfer did not go through and was rejected. Then, when we deposited his security cheque after multiple attempts to contact and no answer, the cheque bounced.
The company is under his wife's name, and we have filed a case on the same.
The court has accepted our application, however, they have instructed the execution bureau to get the Emirates ID of this authorised signatory. The bureau is asking us to get it, and we have no way to do so, unfortunately.
Without the Emirates ID, the court cannot freeze the bank accounts or put a travel ban, etc.
What are our options here?

Getting my children back from the UAE after my ex-husband took them to avoid divorce 0
Hello,
I'm in Canada, and I filed for divorce. My husband, who owns a real estate company in Abu Dhabi, kidnapped our children and took them to the UAE to avoid the divorce and force me back to him.
My children are twin boys, 8 years old, and a 10-year-old girl. What can I do?
I want to follow them and take my children back, but he says his local Emirati connections will file criminal cases against me and have me jailed if I go there. What can I do remotely?
Does the UAE return kidnapped children to their mother? In the UAE, a guardian cannot legally kidnap their own child; what does this mean for my case?
If I report him, what happens to my children? Will they be held until I arrive to take them?

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?
