Holding company partners liable for their part of its debts
1
Q: Hi Mr Younis,
I require help to sort out my father's legal issues pertaining to a company he had.
There are dues with a bank in the UAE and his partner who was also a signatory on the cheques has managed to remove his cases and has left my father to deal with the liabilities albeit he was the one who misused the company funds.
I have two questions:
1) How can someone who was a partner of a company absolve themselves of al legal recourse albeit their signature is on all bounced cheques?
2) Would your law firm be able to help with getting the cases resolved and getting my father's business partner take the responsibility for his share of the liabilities?
Thank you

إمكانية تنفيذ شيك على الحسابات الشخصية للمدير إذا صدر باسم الشركة


2
س: السلام عليكم،
لدي شيك من شخص باسم شركته وقد رُفِض لعدم كفاية الرصيد.
عند تنفيذ الشيك، هل يحق لي طلب التنفيذ على حساباته الشخصية أيضًا أم يكون فقط على حسابات الشركة؟
علمًا بأنه شريك والمدير المسؤول في نفس الوقت. الشركة شركة مقاولات ذات مسؤولية محدودة.
وهل يحق لي طلب منع السفر له؟
وفي حالة عدم السداد في الفترة القانونية، هل يمكن المطالبة بضبطه وإحضاره لحين السداد؟

Can I claim compensation for emotional distress and pregnancy loss? 0
Good afternoon,
A gentleman insulted me severely over the phone during a delicate moment in my life when I was pregnant. He conveyed harsh messages through chat, causing me to feel sick, panicked, and scared.
Unfortunately, I lost my baby after this incident. I have reported the matter to the police and won the case, leading to the confiscation of his phone and imposition of a fine.
However, I believe I deserve compensation for the mistreatment. Can I pursue damages, and if so, what amount can I claim for my loss and damage?

Can my company make my position redundant and hire somebody else after I was terminated? 0
My company terminated my employment because it was making the position I held redundant.
I was advised that in no way was this performance-related but purely a restructuring exercise.
However, within 1 month of leaving the company, they have externally recruited another person to fill my exact position, with the same job title, that they made redundant.
Whilst I believe that this is unethical behavior, could anyone tell me if this is legal within the UAE or should I lodge a complaint for unfair dismissal?

Hello,
I am a manager of an LLC company with 25% share. In February 2003, a partner joined the company with a 25% share.

What to do with his 25% share, please?

How to file an online defamation case from the Philippines against someone in Dubai? 0
Hello,
I'm currently looking for legal advice regarding an online defamation case. I am a Filipino citizen currently residing in the Philippines. The person I want to file a complaint against is also a Filipino citizen and is currently based in Dubai.
I have already sought legal consultation, but it cost me a lot for just a simple session. Unfortunately, I don’t think I can afford to proceed with the fees required for sending a warning or demand letter to the person I’m complaining about.
I would really appreciate any help, guidance, or information about possible free or low-cost legal services.
Thank you for your time!
