Q: Good morning
I have a bit of an academic question.
Does the UAE law allow for parties to agree on modes of service other than personal?
My reading of articles 8 and 9 of the Civil Procedure Code seems to set out a general rule of personal service, but article 9 allows for the parties to otherwise agree.
Is this correct?
Cheers

Serving a legal notice to the tenant for defaulting on rent

Q: According to the law, the notice can be served “through the Notary Public, or delivered by registered post, by hand, or by any other technological means approved by law”.
I would like to know what are the “technological means approved by law”, as I am a non-resident landlord and I need to serve a 30 days’ notice for the tenant to pay rent, as he is defaulting.

Our customer has gone into liquidation, and we are shipping goods to Saudi Arabia. We have stopped the shipment and requested payment of their outstanding balance.

I purchased an apartment, but the previous landlord refuses to vacate. What to do? 0
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?

My hair was damaged by a very known and professional salon. Can I seek refund and compensation? 0
Hello.
I went to a very well-known and professional salon (or so I thought) for a normal hair dye. The guy who did my hair left the dye on my hair for over an hour when it was supposed to be on for a maximum of 30 minutes.
He wasn’t paying attention to me walking around the store talking to everyone and also doing another customer's extensions.
Now my hair is potentially damaged, my skull burns, and is flaky (meaning the dye wasn’t ammonia-free which is extremely unprofessional for such an expensive salon).
I didn’t even get the outcome that I wanted and the dye color doesn’t even show. I talked to him about it but he shut it down so fast and gaslit me the whole time and made me feel like I was the wrong one and I was ‘complaining about something so light’.
Please let me know what I can do legally about this.
Thank you.
