Q: I am working in the finance department of an organization. I mistakenly deposited excess salary into my own account and then later on deposited back again in the company account.
In all this, I have approvals and signatures from every person which clearly shows that it's a mistake and clearly shows that my intentions were not wrong. Now the company terminates me and a legal advisor will file a case on me.
I need your help and support on this matter.

How to sue the work manager for harassment and slander over the phone

2
Q: Good day,
My manager has been shouting at me over the phone, insulting, harassing, bullying & slandering for 2 hours. All because I got very sick & sent her sick leave.
I'm aware that it's not allowed to record the phone conversation according to the UAE law & I was at home as I live alone & don't have a witness on the moment of the phone conversation.
Now the manager denies what's mentioned above.
What can I do in such a situation?
Thank you

Stopping former colleague's harassment
1
Q: Hi,
I have an ongoing harassment issue with a former colleague.
She created fake Facebook accounts and sent messages to my family and friends accusing me of adultery and threatening.
At that time, I did not know who she was as all the accounts were fake, however, yesterday she sent a package to my family with a document of my photos, WhatsApp messages, and allegations against me.
She also sent me abusive emails for months which included threats of defamation and threats against my family, but I did not reply. She bombarded my employer pretending to be my wife, requesting my HR records. I had to leave my jobs because of embarrassment.
I decided to report her to the police, however, because of work commitments, I am in the UK and will only return in January. The police have advised me to return and file a case. I would like two services:
1. Send a cease and desist letter to the person harassing me to stop.
2. Represent me whilst I am abroad to pursue this case.

Can I claim compensation for emotional distress and pregnancy loss? 0
Good afternoon,
A gentleman insulted me severely over the phone during a delicate moment in my life when I was pregnant. He conveyed harsh messages through chat, causing me to feel sick, panicked, and scared.
Unfortunately, I lost my baby after this incident. I have reported the matter to the police and won the case, leading to the confiscation of his phone and imposition of a fine.
However, I believe I deserve compensation for the mistreatment. Can I pursue damages, and if so, what amount can I claim for my loss and damage?

Can my company make my position redundant and hire somebody else after I was terminated? 1
My company terminated my employment because it was making the position I held redundant.
I was advised that in no way was this performance-related but purely a restructuring exercise.
However, within 1 month of leaving the company, they have externally recruited another person to fill my exact position, with the same job title, that they made redundant.
Whilst I believe that this is unethical behavior, could anyone tell me if this is legal within the UAE or should I lodge a complaint for unfair dismissal?

هل تُطبق عقوبة عند الاستقالة والانتقال إلى وظيفة أخرى إذا لم يمر على الإقامة 6 أشهر؟ 2
السلام عليكم،
أعمل في شركة منذ سنة ونصف. في البداية حصلت على عرض عمل ولكن لم تصدر إقامه لوجود حظر على الشركة.
صدرت منذ 4 أشهر إقامة لي على شركة أخرى يملكها صاحب الشركة التي أعمل بها بسبب الحظر على الشركة التي أعمل بها، ولكن لم أحصل على شهادة عدم ممانعة (إعارة).
الآن أريد تقديم استقالتي والانتقال إلى وظيفة جديدة.
ما الإجراءات؟ وهل تُطبّق عقوبات ضدي لأنني لم أكمل 6 أشهر على الإقامة أو أي عقوبات أخرى؟

Can I cancel my house sale contract without extra fees after personal plans changed? 2
Dear Lawyers,
I signed a Form F with a buyer for the sale of my house as we were planning to leave the country. The contract was signed about a month ago, but the handover is not until August.
Due to personal circumstances changing, we are no longer leaving Dubai and would like to cancel Form F.
The Form F contract stipulates that we have to pay the buyer 10% of the purchase value. The real estate agent is now claiming that we also have to pay the buyer's real estate commission and the conveyancing fee.
Our understanding is that the 10% penalty is the only penalty. Which is correct, and what are the next steps to dispute this?
Also, is there any way to dispute the 10% itself under the law due to personal circumstances changing?

Tenant always late with payments, hasn't renewed contract. What to do? 2
Hello,
I have a tenant who is always late with their payment. Their renewal was supposed to be last December 2023.
Currently, they have not signed any new contract, provided any new cheques, and have stayed for three months from December until now without paying rent.
Additionally, I just discovered that they have sublet the apartment with partitions, which is clearly stated as not allowed in the old contract.
Please let me know what should I do legally!

Tenant received renewal notice, rejected proposed rent on renewal day. What next? 2
Hi,
We sent a renewal notice to our Dubai-based tenant 84 days before his contract renewal, with a 10% increase in rent.
The tenant neither agreed nor disagreed with the proposed rent and replied on the day of renewal that he wouldn't be paying the proposed rent.
Due to the argument, the landlord decided to reduce the rent, but the tenant has not yet renewed his contract. It has been 12 days since his contract expired.
Kindly suggest what could be done in this matter.
