Dishonoured cheques and breach of contract

0
Q: A Company had issued us several cheques amounting to nearly 600,000 AED. All the cheques had bounced, and we lodged a complaint with the police station.
The police after calling for the bank documents and details from the defaulter's bank issued a travel ban. All efforts of the police to trace the defaulter or contact over the phone have been futile.
The police have now forwarded the case to the court and asked me to keep track of the dates on the portal.
The cheques were signed by the Managing Director of the company.
It is important to note that the defaulting Company had violated several terms in the contract, resulting in fraud and criminal conspiracy and breach of trust.
Please advise what will be the consequences the defaulter may have to face and how should we go about it.

مسؤولية مدير الشركة ذات المسؤولية المحدودة عن الشيكات المرتجعة


2
س: السلام عليكم،
انا مدير شركة خاصة ذات مسؤولية محدودة ولدي توكيل بإدارة المنشأة وإجراء المعاملات الإدارية مع البنوك والى آخره، كما لدي صلاحية التوقيع على الشيكات.
في آخر أشهر، دخلت الشركة في خسائر تجارية معينة. صاحب الشركة سافر لبلده بحجة قضاء إجازة والعودة فكنت مسؤولاً عن إعطاء شيكات لشركتين مختلفتين لكن بعد انقضاء الوقت المحدد لم يعد المالك صاحب الشركة والشيكات ارتجعت بحكم أنه لا يوجد رصيد في البنك.
المشكلة انا صاحب الشركة في الوقت الحالي لا يجيب على الرسائل ولا توجد طريقة أخرى للتواصل معه و لنا، موظفي الشركة، رواتب متأخرة والتزامات لم تسدد، فما الحكم القانوني عليّ بعد إمضاء الشيكات؟
علمًا بأن اسمي غير مذكور في الرخصة التجارية. أنا مدير إداري.
وشكرًا مسبقًا!

In view of the fact that the manager is primarily the point of reference for the company in the business streets, he is generally authorized by a power of attorney provided by the shareholders of the company or via the MOA of the company. In certain cases exceeding the powers given to the manager may make the manager, or the LLC itself, liable, depending on the nature of the manager’s actions.

Liability of daughter against the debts of her father 0
To whom this may concern,
I returned back to Australia after 10 years in Abu Dhabi in 2015. As I turn 18 this year in November, I plan on visiting friends who are in the UAE for about a month.
I would like to travel with them around the country freely without any prosecution from local officials.
My father had to leave the UAE in 2016 for health reasons and has unpaid debts in the UAE, Abu Dhabi specifically.
I would like to know and have it in writing if I would be able to travel freely to the UAE at the end of the year and that I am not liable for my parents' debts/problems as I have no legal responsibilities for their actions.
Kind regards.

Bounced cheque case for a loan after paying the fine 0
Hi
I have got a call from Dubai Police last week regarding my cheque bounce which I issued to the bank due to default on loan payment on time.
I paid a visit & they referred me to the prosecution & I got fine which I already paid and got clearance.
I want to know if the bank can still file a case against me & I still need to contact the bank for settlement or case clearance.
I am getting too many calls even after that, and the debt collector is actually harassing with the worst behaviour & back to back calls which actually ruined my personal life and put me in depression with high bp.
Thank you
