Greetings, I sent a shipment of around 40k of value to France from Dubai on the 25th of August. During the communication with the shipping company, I was informed that it will take 6-7 days. It is the 7th of September today and until now they are unable to give me an update on where my shipment is. Moreover, this delay has cost me extra money on having to postpone the ticket of the receiver in France and his extra stay expenses. Is there any official complaint, or any actions that I can take against such an unprofessional company? Appreciate your reply!

Dear sir/madam, I am a teacher in Dubai under my husband's sponsorship. I have a salary account in Dubai Islamic Bank. I need to know the legal requirements for starting an online e-commerce business for which I will need to register a company. Can I work as a teacher and run my online business as well? I want to go with the laws.

Dear Lawyers, I have a company in Sharjah FZ. I hold 51% shares and my partner holds 49% shares. I am the director, manager, and the sole beneficiary of the company bank account. We are both now under the company visa. I, as the business owner, demand a few things for him to provide before he can benefit from the company. The point of the agreement is: - The new shareholder needs to provide business development capital for AED 145,000, payment will be on several terms. Since I made the change on the license and put him under the company visa, he has been delaying paying the capital. I have been chasing him through messages and phone calls, but he is still not responding. This made the cash flow of the company a mess. 1. What legal step can I take to take him out of the company and seek compensation for the mess he made with the company? 2. Will it be better for me to file bankruptcy or to fight the legal action against him? Thank you so much, appreciate your answer!

Dear sir/madam, One of my customers is not clearing his outstanding payment and is giving false promises. The provided cheque has bounced twice. Their license is inactive. Can we file a case against them in court according to Dubai Law? The amount is AED 28000.

Dear sir/madam, I have an issue with my end of service. The company made calculations on one amount and sent me the form, signed by the finance director. Now they say that there was a miscount and the amount has been reduced significantly. I need advice and assistance from a lawyer.

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?

Hello, My partner voluntarily withdrew from our company which we established in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. We established this company on July 1, 2024. Until now, there is no income or revenue. What is the legality?

Hello, I'm in Canada, and I filed for divorce. My husband, who owns a real estate company in Abu Dhabi, kidnapped our children and took them to the UAE to avoid the divorce and force me back to him. My children are twin boys, 8 years old, and a 10-year-old girl. What can I do? I want to follow them and take my children back, but he says his local Emirati connections will file criminal cases against me and have me jailed if I go there. What can I do remotely? Does the UAE return kidnapped children to their mother? In the UAE, a guardian cannot legally kidnap their own child; what does this mean for my case? If I report him, what happens to my children? Will they be held until I arrive to take them?

I recently joined a new organization in the Hamriyah Free Zone, and my previous organization has not released my end-of-service benefits. The HR has instructed the finance team not to do so because I had contacted one of their clients. In my DMCC contract, there is no Non-Compete clause, but the offer letter has one, and now they are not releasing the end-of-service. Is this legal? What are my rights?

Hello, I have multiple cheque execution cases filed against me due to financial strains last year. My trade license and visa will expire next month, along with my Emirates ID.

I look forward to your response. Thanks.
