Seeking compensation for false allegations and defamation

10
Q: I am here on a tourist visa. A UAE local who is a sponsor of a company owned by my boss has had a falling out. I am not connected to this business in any way.
However, because I am connected with the foreign investor, the local has opened a criminal case against me. The allegations are completely unfounded, however, I am currently awaiting the prosecutor's verdict.
I have a travel ban and my passport is being held by the police. Once found innocent, can I claim defamation of character and claim my losses, holidays missed, lost business in my home country as I have not been able to return and tarnish my reputation?

رفع دعوى تعويض بعد الحكم بالبراءة في دعوى كيدية


4
س: السلام عليكم،
حصلت على حكم بالبراءة في قضية كيدية من كفيلي. تضمنت حيثيات الحكم كيدية القضية وعدم كفاية الأدلة وعدم اطمئنان المحكمة لشهادة المُدعي. لم تستأنف النيابة العامة حكم البراءة.
هل يحق لي رفع دعوى تعويض عن الأضرار المادية والنفسية وتشويه السمعة الذي تعرضت له بسبب تلك القضية؟
أرجو الإفادة!

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.
