Q: Hi, I live in Australia and was wondering how I can find out if my cousin who is originally from Lebanon, has been blacklisted in the UAE for absconding from his employment?
Also, I was wondering if his power of attorney who is not in the UAE can find out if there are any court cases against my cousin without having to travel to the UAE?

Contractual rights of a former employee 0
I resigned from my position in October 2016. The company is threatening legal action for soliciting employees and starting my own business to compete with them. All false allegations.
I have responded to their lawyers already but I wanted to know if I have a case against them as not all my contractual rights were honoured.

Penalty for the extension of a tenancy contract 0
Dear Sir/ Mam,
I am staying in Sharjah. We stayed in the same flat for the last 2 years. Our contract is ended on May 5th. But as we are migrating to another country we requested our landlord to stay here till June end 2 months back. He agreed to the same at that time.
Now he is asking to give 3 months more rent from June as a penalty to settle the things. Our contract already finished now.
Please advice what to do as we are not in a good financial position to give 3-month rent without staying.

Negotiating credit card outstandings with the bank 0
Hi, I lost my job a year ago and I have an outstanding credit card of AED 300k. I've missed the last 9 monthly payments (I am negotiating directly with the bank). I am willing to settle the credit card with one lump sum payment that a friend will lend me.
How much discount on the balance of AED 300k can I negotiate to settle the matter? Should I also ask for a clearance/ no liability letter?

What to do if your employer defaults on obligations 0
Good morning sir,
I had been working as a senior site engineer for a good contracting company in Dubai. Meanwhile, I was totally trapped by Al Faisaliyah contracting company, Dubai. The company gave me a better offer and position and told me to join fast.
When I got an offer letter I resigned from the last employer and exit from the UAE for getting a visa from the new company. But the company sent me one visit visa and told me that when I arrive in the UAE they will immediately change it to the employment visa. When I joined here they told me they will change it as early as possible. Last two months I had to work believing their words.
Now I came to know it was totally a trap and they have no labour quota because of 4-month pending salaries to staff. When I realized they are cheaters, I resigned and told them I cannot work illegally here. Also, they didn’t pay me the salary for two months. All the staff here are working with expired visa and same like me.
Now I want my salary. Is there any legal way to move???
