أعطيت شيكات لشخص باعتبارها ضمانًا لصفقة لم تتم. كيف أستردها؟

2
س: حررت ٣ شيكات (كل شيك بقيمة مليون ومائة ألف درهم) من الشركة باسم شخص وسيط كضمان، حيث وعدني بتدبير عقد مجزِ من جهة كبيرة - الوسيط لديه معارف ولا يعمل بالجهة.
لم يتحقق العمل ولم يتحصل لدي المبلغ أصلاً فلم أستفد منه شيئًا. أخاف أن يقدم الشيكات للمطالبة القانونية. ليس لديه دليل على أنه قام بالعمل وأتمَّ الصفقة (لا عقد ولا فواتير ولا اتفاقية)؛ مجرد الشيكات بيده.
كيف يمكنني إنهاء الأمر؟ هل أطالبه بالشيكات؟ أخاف أن يثور ويفعل ما أخشاه!
وماذا إن قدم بلاغًا بهم؟ هل أكون ملزمًا؟
ما العقوبة الجزائية والمدنية لعدم السداد؟
أنا مرتبك صراحة ولا أعرف كيف أتصرف!

How can we claim our money back if the cheque we received have bounced for insufficient funds? 0
We received a cheque which has now bounced. We have tried for over a month and a half now to get a new cheque from the person, and every day he says the next day.
We need the money now. We have been to the police station, and they said they can not do anything as the reason the cheque bounced is "Insufficient funds."
We have been to Al Barsha - Dubai Courts, and they said there is nothing they can do about it.
We are not sure what we can do. We need the money asap to pay our kids' school fees, let alone all the interest we have lost.

Who is supposed to pay for the transfer fee, the employee or the employer? 0
Hello
I joined my new company on February 26, 2025. Upon joining the new company, I asked HR if it was free to join the company, and she said yes.
After working with them for 1 month, I experienced a salary delay, and I had to go to the office to ask why there was a delay in my salary.
That is when the HR told me she deducted my whole salary to recover the transfer fee.
Now my question is, who is supposed to pay for the transfer fee, the employee or the employer?

إمكانية المطالبة بالمستحقات العمالية بناءً على الراتب الفعلي وليس المكتوب في العقد 1
السلام عليكم،
أعمل في شركة في العين مند ثلاث سنوات ونصف "منها سنة وعشرة أشهر إقامة تابعة للشركة" وما تبقى كنت أعمل بالإعارة من شركة أخرى. راتبي في عقد العمل 500 درهم ولكن راتبي الفعلي 2500 درهم.
هل يحق لي المطالبة قانونًا على حسب الراتب الفعلي؟
وهل فترة العمل بالإعارة تدخل ضمن أيام المستحقات؟
علمًا بأنني أستلم راتبي بشكل مباشر بإيصال قبض من الشركة، وراتب العقد (500) أستلمه بنكيًا أو عبر فروع الأنصاري.

Mold in apartment due to construction fault: Can I get compensation? 1
Hi everyone,
I rent an apartment. After two days in the apartment, water started leaking from the ceiling.
It turned out to be a fault in the building's construction, which caused condensation in the false ceilings. When the panels were demolished, it was found that they were all full of mold.
The building manager has started work, but the apartment is no longer habitable.
Should the landlord compensate me for the lack of peaceful enjoyment of the property?

Unfairly fired with demands to repay housing allowance: Is it legal? 1
Dear Sir/Madam,
My employer (Federal) signed a 3-year contract with me. They have now given me 3 months' notice, ending my contract in May rather than August, saying that my contract was not renewed.
There was no reason given for my non-renewal. My evaluations have been consistently excellent. Further, they are now demanding 3 months of housing allowance be repaid. Is this legal?
