Q: Dear sir/madam, Can Telegram messages be used as proof for filing a case of abusing and blackmailing?

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.

Q: Good day, Please advise on the following: Our company ordered an advertising service from another company in Dubai. We have paid the full amount in advance, but have not received any service. It's been around 11 months since the order was placed and paid. The advertising company representative doesn't answer phone calls, same goes for their office. Our company owner wants to raise a legal case against them to recover the amount paid. Please advise what is the process and the cost of the same. Thanks in advance.

Q: Salam Aleykum. About the receipts and invoices of money that my husband owes me, how should I present them in the case and upload them to the system in the Dubai Courts? Should the screenshot of each original invoice in English be translated into Arabic and photo format? Is it like this for each one or how should it be, please? Should I upload everything after the first hearing when I explain my case and upload a memorandum explaining everything in detail or after the second? Shukran.
