متابعة قضية امتناع عن توزيع أرباح مشروع تجاري
1
س: أنا مستثمر ودفعت مليون ونصف درهم لصاحب شركة أردني بصفته المدير التنفيذي للشركة. تعاقدنا على استيراد 3 ألعاب من خارج الدولة في أواخر سنه 2013 وهناك خلافات بشأن الأرباح.
ينص العقد بدفع أرباحي كل ستة أشهر بموجب شيكات، وكل مرة يعدني بأن يعطيني شيكات إلى يومك هذا. رفعت عليه قضية وأحالها القاضي للخبير المحاسبي، وللأسف لم ينصفني ابداً.
للعلم، بعد التعاقد ب 7 أشهر وقعت على ملحق اتفاقيه أن الأرباح مناصفة ولكنه خدعني بكلمة (الأرباح التشغيلية) بما معناه أنني سوف أتحمل كل المصاريف الإدارية معه ووقعتها بحسن نية.
الشخص موجود داخل الدولة ويصر أن لا يعطيني حتى شيكات ضمان، مع العلم أننا قمنا بتوقيع الاتفاقيه في مكتب المحامي ووقع إيصال على استلام المبلغ كامل باسم الشركة. والقاضي رفض إصدار منع سفر لأن الشركة فيها شريك مواطن ليس له علم بالموضوع ولا يستطيع أن يمنعه أيضاً من السفر.
هل أستطيع منعه من السفر والذهاب الى قاضي الأمور المستعجلة لأنه يرفض أن يعطيني حتى شيكات، وإلى اليوم لم يسلمني درهماً واحداً مع العلم ان الألعاب شغالة ولها دخل ضعيف ولا يرضيني.
كيف أقنع القاضي أن يمنع الشخص نفسه وليس الشركة من السفر خوفاً من الهروب؟

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?

My husband sold the house we bought jointlyand took a cheque plus 1-year instalments from me. What can I do? 0
Hi,
I am a non-Muslim indian expatriate, residing in Dubai since 2015. The first 5 years, I was on a working visa, and after the delivery of my first baby, I left my job and became dependent on my husband.
In 2018, we bought a house together where I invested AED 2 hundred thousand from my income (I have proof in the form of a cheque). I also paid AED 3300 monthly installment for 1 year, for a personal loan taken out for the house.
But in spite of my resistance, my husband tactfully put the house in his name, so the title deed was in his name. In 2024, when my kids and I were in India for vacation, he cancelled our visas and residency. He also filed for a divorce in India.
The divorce is not yet finalised, and we are still married. Since August 2024, he hasn't let me access my house in Dubai, so I filed a case, which eventually went in my favor in January 2025.
Since I used to travel on a visit visa, I left for India and returned in March, to find out that my husband had already sold the house. The new owner is residing there.
What can I do now?
Help!

My previous organization has not yet released EOSB because I contacted a client. Is this legal? 0
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?

Can the employer force the housmaid to work for unlimited hours without rest? 0
Hi
I'm a nanny, and at the same time, I work as a housemaid (khadama) here in the house. I work, but as I know, the nannies and housemaids have different rights, and my employer doesn't give me rest.
My work starts at 7:30 am and then finishes at 10 pm or less. It depends on whether the baby is asleep or what time they will take on me if not yet asleep. Is this right?
Also, at the time of eating, I'm still working because the baby is with me, so I just let her sit in her chair. That's how I eat.
Please answer me. I want to know my rights.
Because if I can leave during the 6-month probation, I want to take it if the employer is this kind. I don't know.
They are also expats, but they don't follow the rules of the UAE regarding a housemaid.
