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?

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?

Is it possible for a married Muslim man to get a second marriage in Dubai to a non-Muslim woman? What are the rules and requirements?

I purchased a tenanted villa recently. Before signing form B, we asked the seller through the broker if the tenant could vacate the house upon expiry of the tenancy contract, and the seller said yes verbally. So we signed form B, proceeded with the buying process, and confirmed as vacate house again with the seller during the final transfer. We've sold the place we used to live in because we will move into this new house and stay in temporary accommodation until the tenancy contract of this new house expires. However, now the tenant doesn't want to vacate the house upon expiry of the tenancy contract. What can I do in this case?

We run LLC construction and transportation company established in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Both are separate companies. However, there are companies that owe us nearly 3 million. - Among the companies, one of them was executed in 2013 and paid us 26% (600k out of 2.3M) of the total amount. - The second company was declared as defaulter 3 years ago and has to pay us yet. No execution has taken place. The lawyer was hired and the case is still with her. - The third company, main-contractor and we as sub-contractor. Recently, the project got terminated by the client and owes us around 850k, no claim has been filed yet. My question to a lawyer: 1. Can I re-open a case against the first company and transfer it to Saudi Arabia where they're based? I'm not sure if they still have projects in the UAE. 2. Do you see all these as a potential case that can be executed and handled by a single lawyer? If yes, I can email you all the documents and I would like to get feedback so we can proceed further. Thank you

Hi, The ACD mentioned in my SPA is October 2019, the developer further delayed the project to Feb 2020 and later again delayed to September 2020. In August the developer delayed the project citing force majeure clause mentioned and said delayed due to force majeure and delayed it to December 2020 The clause mentioned in the SPA says either party has to inform about the force majeure within 30 days of the force majeure but developer informed only in August. Can I claim compensation from the developer? Legally, they are allowed to delay up to 12 months but can I claim compensation from October 2020 till date? The building completion certificate has now been issued.
