Hello, I am switching jobs soon. Can my current work visa be canceled if I still have a personal loan and credit cards that I am making payments on?

Good afternoon, Thank you for your time. The public prosecution appealed my judgment (a fine that I satisfactorily cleared) and requested increasing the fine. Can you please explain what happens during a criminal case appeal hearing for me as a defendant? Will I be asked questions? Is the hearing just for the Public Prosecution to present their appeal to the judge, and I do not need to give a response? Thank you again for your time.

My relative is staying with his friend. His friend was arrested for drug trading (MDMA). My husband also got arrested, but he is not involved in trading. He is a first-time offender in drug use. He got arrested two months ago and he is in Ajman, Jurf jail. He is asking us to give money to a lawyer to make the court order and release fast. Is it possible? How long will it take for his release and court order? What will be the court order?

Hello, I bought an apartment, but the previous landlord is refusing to vacate it. The contract clearly states that the landlord should hand over the apartment on the day of the transfer. Out of courtesy, I gave him three days to vacate so he could find a new place to stay, but the time has passed, and he is still refusing to vacate and hand it over. What should I do in this case?

Dear lawyers, The new employee will start on June 1, 2025. However, he would like to open a new bank account in the UAE thus asking to provide the salary certificate mentioning his salary in AED and if possible not mentioning the start date. Legally, can the company provide such a certificate?

Dear sir/madam, I had signed a labor contract with the Ministry of Labour which had no "non-compete" clause. Now, I want to leave the company, but my employer wants me to sign the "non-compete" clause in the termination contract. In this case, is the non-compete clause applicable or not?

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.

Hello, I would like to report an objectionable activity done by a person who has a posh hotel in Riyadh. He was openly spreading hate against Muslims on Instagram on an Indian news page. I tried searching for the cyber crime cell of the Saudi government but couldn’t find it. Please tell me how to file a complaint?

One of the car companies is filing a case against me regarding the pulling of my car due to not paying my monthly payment, but I was on vacation at that time. When I came back here to Saudi Arabia, I found my car was pulled by the company and I was searching everywhere. Then I found my car in SNB and they said I need to pay SAR 10,192. But before that, I already have money to pay my 3 months' credit and they refuse to accept it. Instead, they want me to pay the last payment of SAR 10192. Now they filed a case against me and I didn't get money to my account. What will I do? The bank said I will get only 35% of my salary which is unfair. Please help me.

I am being harassed by a Facebook page store that has promised to deliver the items I ordered but it's been a week. Now he is just charging me money for either a clearance fee or a service fee and I spent almost SAR 16000. How can I solve this?
