Q: I am undergoing a refund issue with one of the travel agencies in Dubai. I signed a non-cancellable and non-refundable contract with the travel agency, but they failed to give the service to me which themselves made a breach of contract. When I proved it, they agreed to the refund and gave me a post-dated crossed cheque. After providing the cheque, they demanded the contract back, I gave them but I kept a copy of it. After we left the office, the manager phoned me and said I am not allowed to keep any copies. If so, they will stop the payment of the cheque. I just want to know is it possible?? I want to keep the copy of the contract..!! Should I return it to them to get my cheque cleared? Please advise.

Q: Hello. I hope I can get some good insight from you. I have tried to reason with my landlord to allow me to break my tenancy contract early. He refused. Now what legal action can I take, and can I refuse to pay the full amount as too many shortfalls in the building? It is very dirty, never cleaning, the gym is so dirty one may get a disease, faulty equipment, very bad maintenance, a pool no one can access... so many. What can I do about it? Can I refuse to pay the whole amount? Who can I complain to? I need some info to know what to do. Thank you.

Q: I am just wondering, one of my clients has cancelled the awarded contract before the execution of the contract according to the termination clause which states that the contract can be cancelled by giving a 5 days' notice. However, we have spent reasonable time and resources for the execution of services since the award of the contract. Do we have any legal ground to ask for partial compensation?

Q: Dear Sir, looking for a legal advice, UAE. We are lessors having a binding lease of equipment agreement with a lessee for a few years, which is not profiting us.

Q: I have a contract with an interior design firm. They estimated the decor work and furniture delivery will take 3-4 months in the contract. The furniture arrived in 6 months; some parts are damaged/not like the original agreed on designs and the decor work is yet to be finished which is a full year and a half after the contract was signed. Since it was not done on time, I had to book other venues to hold some private ceremonies which I would have done in my home and they were told about that from the beginning when the deadline was established. What are my legal options?

Q: Hello, Good afternoon! My friend works as a cleaner for a cleaning company and she now wants to resign with a 30-day notice. However, she has not completed the two-year contract and has only served for 16 months. Additionally, she has not taken any vacation leave. The sad part is that when she signed the offer letter, she did not receive a copy of it and only signed it. I would be very grateful if you could let me know if she would have to pay or if her boss has the right to not accept the resignation if the notice period mentioned in the offer letter is more than a month. Her boss has not provided her with any kind of proof that she can use in the future if anything happens.
