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.

My husband was working in a private retail company before. While he was working with them, he helped a friend sell his friend's own designs of t-shirts through Facebook. His previous employer saw that and terminated him and they are accusing him that he is copying their designs and stealing customers by selling his friend's items while working which is not true. He threatened my husband that they will sue him and to avoid that, they're gonna remove him from work and will pay him only the days of his work (15 days) which my husband agreed because he doesn't want any trouble. That's what they did. They didn't pay him his gratuity for staying almost 3 yrs with them as well as airline ticket, vacation leave and public holidays. Now it's been a year since it happened and my husband is already working with another company and suddenly his previous employer saw him in a restaurant and asked him why he is there and threatened him that they are gonna sue him still. What do we need to do? Thank you.

Hello, How much time do I have to start paying after the verdict in the appeal court? And what's the probability of freezing my account or traffic file if I’m paying?

I used to work as a manager in a company, and my name was removed by the Dubai court of execution.  Now, on the paid rent, I got a travel ban, which I objected to at RDC. The RDC accepted and gave the next hearing date, as I will have all the court papers. Is there any way to remove the travel ban, as the objections I made at the execution hearing are next month, almost one month? Is there any way you can put the amount as a deposit, and once the objection case is over, you can take it back?

My brother lost his job in the UAE 8 months ago and has a debt of AED 170,000 to a bank. He is finding it extremely difficult to make monthly loan payments to the bank, as he has been unable to find a job even after 8 months. What options does he have to reduce/settle his bank debt without having restrictions on him, like a travel ban, etc? Please help him find the best possible solution considering his current financial situation.

Hi there, My husband and I are Muslims. My husband passed away recently. We have a Canadian will, but I understand that it won’t be honored as I am named the sole beneficiary, and that does not align with Sharia laws in the UAE. He was not a UAE resident but had a small apartment with no Will in the UAE. We have 3 children. I am planning to go to Dubai to start an inheritance case. I don’t know the exact order of events and what needs to be done first. 1) Do I initiate anything from overseas before making travel plans to Dubai, or do I start once I arrive in Dubai? Mind you, we cannot afford to stay in Dubai for too long, as the kids have school. 2) Do I need a lawyer, or can this be done by myself? 3) I understand all foreign documents need to be authenticated before presenting them to the court. But I don’t know at what stage I would need these documents authenticated. I would appreciate it if you could provide a breakdown of the steps, the forms that are needed, and where I can find them. Thank you

I am working in a Dubai private company and I have completed six months of the probation period. Now, I have decided to resign due to a physical problem. My MOHRE contract mentions one month's notice, and I am willing to serve the notice period, but the employer asks for visa expenses. My passport was also retained by the employer. How can I cancel my visa by chance? I filed a complaint at the labour court. How many days does it take to get a verdict?
