مقاضاة شخص اتصل بآخر وهدده اعتمادًا على وظيفته
0
س: السلام عليكم،
بناءً على مشكلة مع شخص معرفة، تلقيت اتصالاً من كفيل الشخص (حسب ادعائه ومع ذكر اسمه) طالبًا معرفة طبيعة المشكلة والطلبات لحلها ولكن لم نصل لنتيجة منصفة، وبناءً عليه أشار المتصل بأنه يعمل بدائرة التحري وأنه يعلم بمكان إقامتي وباستطاعته إحضاري.
علمًا بأن المتصل ليس الكفيل الحالي حسبما أفاد، وهو يعمل فعليًا بدائرة التحري. الاتصال صادر من هاتف محمول. لا توجد أي قضية ضدي أو أمر ضبط أو تعميم.
كيف يمكن مقاضاة هذا المتصل؟ وهل يمكن مطالبة النيابة بتحصيل تسجيل المكالمة من شركة الاتصالات المعنية باعتبار ذلك دليلاً؟
شكرًا!

المسؤولية القانونية عند تقديم تسجيل فيديو صوتي بدون إذن النيابة لإثبات الزنا

4
س: السلام عليكم،
انفصلت عن زوجتي بعد قضية خلع قبل 5 أشهر على أن تكون حضانة الأولاد القصر لديها وأن أدفع أنا أجرة البيت ومصاريف الأولاد ومدارسهم.
اكتشفت قريبًا أنها تمارس الجنس مع أحد الرجال الأغراب دون زواج أو أي رابط قانوني في بيت الحضانة. سجلت لها فيديو صوتي خلال عملية ممارسة الجنس مع عشيقها دون علمها. أرغب في السؤال عن إمكانية إلغاء حضانة الأولاد كوني أرى أنها ليست أهلاً لحضانتهم.
هل الفيديو المُسجَّل يفيدني إذا رفعت قضية لفض حضانة الأولاد عنها أم أنه ضدي كوني سجلته بدون علمهما؟
ولكم جزيل الشكر!

السلام عليكم،
أحاول رفع إيصال دفع أمانة الخبرة لملف القضية بمحكمة عجمان ولكن أقابل بخطأ: "لا يمكن تحميل وثيقة في هذه المرحلة قبل عقد الجلسة".
مع العلم أن الطرف الآخر استطاع رفع الإيصال اليوم أيضًا، وهذا الخطأ مستمر من الصباح الباكر وحتى الآن.
هل يمكن المساعدة رجاءً؟

What legal action can a company take to recover an amount from a non-paying customer? 0
Hello,
We are a building materials trading company based in the UAE. We supplied materials worth AED 50,000 to a customer around 8 months ago, but despite repeated follow-ups and reminders, no payment has been made to date.
We would appreciate guidance on the following:

2. What documents should we have ready (e.g., delivery notes, invoice, emails)?
3. How long does the legal process typically take in the UAE for such cases?
4. Is there a recommended timeline or deadline after which legal steps should be initiated?
Thank you in advance for your advice!

Can the landlord send me an eviction notice for non-payment despite submitting an offer and deposit at RDC? 0
I’ve lived in my building for over 4 years, with the most recent rent being AED 50,000. Each year, the management collects cheques and extra AED 2,400–2,500 cash (no receipt) for management and Ejari fees.
My contract was due for renewal on 15 Feb 2025, but management delayed, demanding a 10% rent increase even though no formal 90-day notice and the RERA index did not allow it.
After a month of excuses, the manager called on 12 March, insisted increase to 55K, and threatened eviction if I refused. When I referenced RDC, he hung up. The next day, he again made unprofessional remarks, so I decided to go with RDC.
I submitted my offer and deposit on 13th March, but the management didn’t respond. The case went to the judge on 14 April he ruled in my favor.
On 30 April, I applied for the execution of the ruling, and RDC says I can renew Ejari only on 8th May at DLD with cheques given to them.
However, on 1st May 2025, I received a notarized eviction notice for non-payment of rent and communication.
My question is, what will happen at DLD now?

Can I resign during the probation period without serving a three-month notice to take another job? 0
I am working in the private sector, and currently I am in the probation period. I got a government job, so I submitted a one-month resignation notice.
My current company rejected my one-month notice and ordered me to serve a three-month notice (as per the contract).
I enquired with One Time Centre, and as per their advice, after one month, I can stop work and register a complaint against my company.
For this matter, how will the UAE law help me to solve it?

Can the employer force the housmaid to work for unlimited hours without rest? 0
Hi
I'm a nanny, and at the same time, I work as a housemaid (khadama) here in the house. I work, but as I know, the nannies and housemaids have different rights, and my employer doesn't give me rest.
My work starts at 7:30 am and then finishes at 10 pm or less. It depends on whether the baby is asleep or what time they will take on me if not yet asleep. Is this right?
Also, at the time of eating, I'm still working because the baby is with me, so I just let her sit in her chair. That's how I eat.
Please answer me. I want to know my rights.
Because if I can leave during the 6-month probation, I want to take it if the employer is this kind. I don't know.
They are also expats, but they don't follow the rules of the UAE regarding a housemaid.
