س: هل يجوز لمحاكم الإمارات الحكم بنفقة أطفال انتهت إقامتهم في الدولة قبل تاريخ رفع دعوى النفقات وبناء على إقامتهم مع الأم خارج الدولة؟
ألا يعتبر ذلك تعديًا على الاختصاص المكاني للمحكمة والأصل رفض الدعوى وإرجاعها إلى المحاكم المختصة في دولة إقامة الأطفال؟
شكرًا مسبقًا للرد!

Jurisdiction of the UAE courts in a divorce case if one party is abroad
5
Q: Please, can you let me know if the UAE courts would have jurisdiction in a divorce case for a British non-Muslim UAE resident with a UAE residency visa?
The other party is a not a UAE resident nor a Muslim and has never had a UAE residency visa, but has visited the UAE on a visit visa 12 months ago and has issued (but not yet served) a divorce petition in the UK?
And does it matter when the divorce petition issued in the UK is served to the UAE resident? Will it make any difference if it is served before or after they file for divorce in the UAE?

الاتفاق على تحديد محاكم اختصاص في غير مقر الأطراف أو مكان توقيع العقد
4
س: السلام عليكم،
اتفق طرفا التعاقد في عقدٍ ما على أن تكون محاكم دبي - على سبيل المثال - هي صاحبة الاختصاص القانوني للنظر في أي نزاع قد يحدث.
إذا كان المدَّعى عليه مقيم في إمارة أخرى غير دبي وتم توقيع العقد في إمارة أخرى أيضًا غير دبي، فهل سترفض محاكم دبي الدعوى لعدم اختصاصها أم أنها ستقبلها باعتبار اتفاق الطرفين في العقد على أن تكون محاكم دبي هي صاحبة الاختصاص القانوني للنظر في أي نزاع قد يحدث؟

Can I be convicted of driving under the influence even if the alcohol test came back negative? 0
Hello,
I was driving my car when the police stopped me at one point on the road and told me that I was driving under the influence of alcohol.
I tried hard to deny that because I had not actually consumed any alcoholic beverages that day or in the previous three days.
However, a report was filed and a case was opened, but the alcohol test report came back negative. Will I be convicted despite that?
Please answer me. It is urgent.

Can we legally claim unpaid dues for food supplies based on emails and invoices? 0
Hello,
We have an agreement with a company to supply food for their buffet on a daily basis, with invoices to be issued monthly and payment to be made every three months.
The relationship actually lasted for nine months, and payment was made for two periods. In the third period, due to disagreements between our company and the company to which the supply was made, they refused to pay, noting that the outstanding amount so far is fifty-four thousand dirhams.
Can we claim the amount, noting that the agreement is not written, but there are emails exchanged between us and invoices?

A hair salon caused serious damage to my hair and scalp. What can I do to sue them? 0
I’m looking for legal advice regarding a hair salon incident that caused serious damage to my hair and scalp.
I visited a salon for a colouring treatment, during which two rounds of bleach, which is not what I booked in for, were given to me without proper approvals, and were applied back-to-back without a strand test or proper consultation.
As a result, I’ve been experiencing extreme hair breakage, daily hair loss, and ongoing scalp irritation. This has been especially distressing as I’m currently pregnant.
It’s now been over 20 days since the incident, and despite multiple polite follow-ups, the salon has ignored all communication.
I’m now exploring legal action to pursue compensation for the physical and emotional distress caused. I have full documentation, messages, and photos.
Any guidance on the best next steps or legal routes I can take would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
