Q: Hi, I filed a cheque bouncing case in Rashidiya police station. Police caught the guy. Now, he paid his fine. How will I recover my money of AED 135000 from that guy? What is the procedure through court? If he agrees to the mutual settlement, how it will do legally? Thanks In advance

Q: Hello, I have a customer to whom our dues are AED 125,000. Our terms were set for a 30-Day PDC, but they have not been able to fulfil it. Since many months they have been giving false promises to release my payments, but we have not yet received any. I would like to know the legal charges and court charges to send them a notice.

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, Greetings for the day. I have given AED 150,000 to a known person (who is dealing with flat lease), on his emergency situation. He said he will pay the amount in 3 months. As a security, I took the whole amount in cheque. Apart from that, he had given 3 cheques total for AED 36000 for 3 months. After a month he left the country and didn't come back for 6 months. Now, its been 8 months without giving me any amount and now he is here in Dubai. So, I contacted him for the money, and he told me "I don't have money, do whatever you want". So, I thought of going in a legal way, where I deposited all the cheques of AED 186,000 and it got bounced today. Please guide me through the legal process, and what is the chance of getting my money back? Now, I am seriously in a very bad situation. I am about to lose my future in the UAE because of this issue. Please help me out. Warm Regards, Dinesh

Q: I'm going to lend money to someone but I'm afraid they might travel. If we write a contract where he agrees to pay me back, how do I make this contract enforceable in any country the other party might be residing in? Can we write a clause that allows me to decide on the arbitrator? Thanks a lot for the help.

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, If someone owes me money approx AED 35000 in India but lives in the UAE, can I file a case against him in the UAE? I helped them to clear off their credit card and offered them to book a place to stay for two months in Dubai willingly.
