1
Q: Hi,
A person had taken AED 150000 loan from a UAE bank. He lost his job and couldn't pay the EMI to the bank on time and his company didn't release his gratuity and demanded surety cheque in order to release his gratuity.
So A took B's cheque as surety for AED 75000. Later A says his case was with the court and he got a clearance letter from the court upon paying some fine and now a becomes a defaulter.
Still, B is receiving calls from the bank since his surety cheque is with the bank.
When A's case is cleared, how can B get back his surety cheque?
How Can B safely come out of this?
Please advise

Reducing salary by the employer and keeping it the same on WPS




8
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
Greetings!
I am working in a fit-out company as a project coordinator. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, my company issued a letter stating that our salary is reduced by half.
But the problem is that the company is showing a full salary in WPS and not issuing my salary cards. I requested them, not to do this, but in vain.
I have bank loan payments and home rent pending. And unfortunately, I can't take any advantage of the UAE Government benefits in this crisis, because I don't have any salary slip to show I am getting half salary.
I am very tense and afraid. Please advise me, how can I solve this problem?
Thanks
A. K.

The management of individual financial affairs is crucial and all the actions must be weighed down while committing to any financial liability. Whether it's job loss that may have lead to financial failure or the opposite, one must be aware of the personal liability which will not diminish by paying fines for cheque bounce cases. There are two major types of liabilities, criminal liability and civil liability. Each has its own significance, hence, must be dealt with accordingly.

How can I claim my settlement if the company is inactive but some branches still operate? 0
Hello,
I got a judgment from Dubai Court stating that the employer should do my settlement. It’s been years, but I still haven't received the payment in my account.
When I checked with Al Adheed Center, they said if the company is not active, it’s not possible to get the money.
However, it’s a group of companies, and a few branches are still running. Is there any chance to claim it, or can I appeal directly to the court?

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.
