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?

Hello, My landlord vacated the property with 12 months' notice, stating he would live there himself. However, he started renting the property through the holiday homes system. Is a permit issued by the DTC for a holiday home valid proof to prove that he is renting and to claim compensation?

On Jan 2, 2025, one of my close friends did a privacy breach and recorded me and my van in some specific place. On Feb 5, when I called and asked him why he did this to me, he went and gave a complaint that I scolded him and threatened him. The same case was later closed by the PP when we negotiated outside the station and apologized. At this juncture, can I file a privacy breach case against him, which happened on Jan 2, 2025, and on Feb 5 I scolded him only for the privacy breach that happened on Jan 2?

Hi. I know someone who is facing a problem with his visa and the company. Is it possible to file a complaint against a company that promised a hired employee that they will process his visa and they will take care of everything before the expiry of his visit visa? Unfortunately, they did do what they have promised and refused to pay the fines and penalties. Also delays everything. The hired employee decided not to continue with the company, borrowed money from friends, and paid the penalties. He also asked an agency to process a new visit visa. However, it won't proceed because of a previous application filed by the company. The hired employee then asked the company to cancel the application so the agency can process the new visit visa. But until now, they did not cancel, meaning today and tomorrow will be another penalty to pay. Another burden for the person. Is it possible to file a complaint against the company? And can he ask for payment for the 2 weeks he worked with them?

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.

Dear Sir/Madam, There is an employee who has been absent repeatedly. However, the company is not paying salaries on time, with regular delays in salary payments.

Regarding the probation period, when is the deadline for an employer to terminate me if the DOJ anniversary is Friday 2nd Feb? Will the six-month period end at midnight on the 1st, therefore completing six months, or can the employer still terminate on the 2nd? Appreciate any guidance provided.

Hello, I am in the UAE. I got divorced 2 months ago. I still live in the house of my ex-husband with my daughter who I got custody of. He owes me money. The court ordered him to pay and the execution was approved. I pay the school expenses of my daughter as he was not paying. I spent 35000 for that as well as expenses for this year's school. I don’t have money to move out and rent a place since he is not paying me anything. He moved his new wife in and is threatening and harassing me to get out. Because I have no home and he has, he claims that he will keep my daughter and kick me out. What should I do?
