Q: How to cancel a partner/investor visa knowing that the sponsor will never agree to cancel my visa, and the sponsor is ready to accuse me of stealing money in case I decided to leave the company? I am a student and I never worked in the company. I was only added to the company to get a visa while I study. I am 22 years old. The reason why I want to leave is that my passport was stolen by the manager/owner of the company and I have been trying to get my passport through the court but no use! I want to cancel it and get a new passport and leave the country.

Q: We have a partnership owned LLC company in Dubai - 60% shareholder in Qatar, 20% me & 20% another sleeping partner (we both are signatories in Dubai). Recently, the sleeping partner holding the same share 20% has accused me of fraud in the company. He stopped my monthly remuneration and asked me to give away my phone and car. Now, he went to telecom and complained about a missing SIM, the number I have been using for more than 5 years. I have been a working partner for more than 12 years, and now I am suddenly sitting in my office forcefully. How can this be stopped legally?

Q: Hi, My business partner has on numerous occasions falsely accused me of theft of company property. These accusations were made by email and in a legal notice from his lawyers, and I have proof of all communication as well as my innocence. As well as that all of his accusations are without any proof whatsoever. There is already an ongoing criminal case between myself and him as he physically attacked me a few weeks ago. I want to know what I can do to stop him from constantly sending me emails accusing me of theft and threatening me. Can I take out a case against him for false accusations? Thanks

An interview-format article covering the topic of shareholder disputes in the UAE and pre-emptive measure to be considered. This is from the legal podcast of lawyer Ludmila Yamalova, the founder of Lawgical with LYLAW.

In a criminal proceeding, the standard of proof to uphold a conviction is beyond a reasonable doubt. The prosecution has the duty of establishing the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt in a criminal proceeding. This implies that the prosecution has to persuade the court that the evidence used in the trial cannot lead to any other plausible conclusion.

The provisions of this Law apply to the commercial companies established in the UAE and the foreign companies that have established in the UAE a base to conduct any activity therein or established a branch or representative office. The Law abrogates Federal Law No. (8) of 1984 Concerning Commercial Companies.

The provisions of this law On Evidence in Civil and Commercial Transactions (Law of Evidence) govern evidence in civil and commercial disputes in the UAE.

This Law promulgates the Federal Penal Code (Criminal Law) of the United Arab Emirates. Crimes and chastisement punishments shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of this Law and other penal codes.

The provisions of this Federal Decree-Law No. (31) of 2021 Promulgating the Crimes and Penalties Law, known as the "New UAE Penal Code", governs criminal actions in the United Arab Emirates.
