Necessary precautions before issuing a replacement of a lost cheque
2
Q: Hi,
I live in Abu Dhabi.
My landlord lost one of the rental cheques. I have a receipt and a Tawtheeq of when I handed them over to him.
I told him to go to the police and file a lost report and then I can issue a new cheque to him but he states that this will take too much time.
He suggests that he gives me a paper saying that if they find the cheque they will return it to me and to give them a new cheque.
Please note that it's a company managing my landlord's properties.

كان لدي سابقًا قضية تهديد مرفوعة من طليقتي بأنني هددتها عبر رسالة في تطبيق واتساب وعند سير القضية حُكم لي بالبراءة وطعنت النيابة على الحكم بالاستئناف ثم حصلت على براءة. إذًا فقد حصلت على براءة في التهمة المنسوبة لي.

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?

Getting my children back from the UAE after my ex-husband took them to avoid divorce 1
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?
