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؟

How can I cancel my visa and POA for financial matters if I have a travel ban for company bounced cheque? 0
I am seeking urgent guidance regarding my current visa status in the UAE. I was previously employed by a company that has now shut down, but my visa is still under that company.
During my tenure, I held Power of Attorney (POA) for all financial matters. However, after a cheque issued by the company bounced, the owner revoked my POA without my knowledge.
The company officially closed last year, and the owner (a lady) has been missing since the case emerged.
No one from the company is responding, and I am currently stuck in Dubai due to a travel ban imposed on me related to this case.
I need clarification on the following points:
How can I cancel my existing visa under this closed company?
Will I be able to obtain a new visa under another company despite the travel ban?
Are there any legal blocks or restrictions affecting my visa or employment options?
What legal steps can I take to resolve this situation?
I would appreciate your guidance on the next steps and any possible solutions.
