Q: Hi,
I am working in a private company as an engineer, I want to take a cafeteria on lease agreement from the owner.
The owner will make a special power of attorney in my name for 2 years for running the cafeteria. Also, he will provide me with the bank account, atm, online username...etc.
My question is:
1. Do I require NOC from my company to make POA?
2. Can I access the bank account if the owner grants me the POA although my name is not in the trade license?
3. After the POA, can I be a signing authority in the bank?

Q: We started a company in 2011 in JLT Dubai with X and Y as shareholders registered in the Memorandum of Association "MoA".

Q 1. Is this adequate to protect my interests?
Q 2. I would like to get this letter notarized. Will this help my case further? What documents are required for this?

Cancellation of visa after judgment in a labour case
2
Q: Good noon,
I have a labour court case in execution. I got a judgement already that my sponsor has to pay me. My local ran away from the UAE.
Also, he did not appear in any of the court hearings. Now I applied for the cancellation of my labour card, but MOL is asking for the sponsor to accept my cancellation.
Still, I did not get my settlement. I got the judgement before 35 days.
Please assist me, how do I get my cancellation?

Is the manager of the company liable if his name remains on the license after resignation?

0
Q: I was registered as a manager or signatory for a company. One year ago, I resigned, lost access to the company’s documentation and bank account, and had my visa canceled by the employer.
Currently, I am working in a new company in the UAE with a new visa. I recently revealed that my name is still on my old company’s trade license for an unknown reason. I was registered as a manager in that company based on a Power of Attorney.
I am not an owner or a shareholder of that company, and my name is not mentioned in the MoA of my old company. To my knowledge, the owners and managers threw up their company, left the UAE, and did not care about the company’s fate.
The company has never operated and has no money in the bank account.
What should I do to remove my name from the trade license if the owners do not respond to my messages?
Are there any consequences for me after the expiration of the trade license and its blacklisting?

Can I petition for immediate eviction due to tenant violations and refusal to vacate after notice? 1
Dear Lawyers,
I have a question regarding an immediate eviction petition to the Urgent Judge. The tenant did not return the apartment on 26 January 2025, despite a 12-month legal notice that ended on 25 January 2025.
The tenant rejected all gas and fire prevention maintenance for 12 months. Al-Fanar Gas submitted a report with the tenant's signature and refusal after the tenant broke the gas detector.
The apartment was sold, and the new owner gave the tenant 90 days' notice. The tenant refused to show the new owner the apartment and ran away, according to building management.
The tenant ignored the 12-month legal notice, did not return the apartment, broke the gas detector, and refused gas and fire detection system maintenance.
The deal will be voided if the new owner cannot enter the property promptly. Can I petition the Urgent Matters Judge for quick eviction based on the tenant's violations?

How can I exit a partnership linked to an expired license and accumulating fines? 1
Good Day!
I am a partner in a trading license with two other individuals. Both of them were managing the business together as a cash-based operation without a bank account, while I was working elsewhere as an employee.
Now, one of the partners has passed away, and his parents are in conflict with the remaining partner, claiming he owes them money. However, the surviving partner insists that no money is owed and that everything is settled.
The license has now expired and cannot be renewed because the deceased partner’s family is not cooperating, leading to fines due to the inability to renew it.
Additionally, the remaining partner continues to conduct the same business, occasionally purchasing items under the company name.
As I am a low-salaried individual and cannot afford court fees, is there a way to remove myself from this situation, or are there any authorities who can assist me in this matter?
I am willing to help and provide whatever is required as evidence in this case.
Please advise!

Can I be convicted of driving under the influence even if the alcohol test came back negative? 0
Hello,
I was driving my car when the police stopped me at one point on the road and told me that I was driving under the influence of alcohol.
I tried hard to deny that because I had not actually consumed any alcoholic beverages that day or in the previous three days.
However, a report was filed and a case was opened, but the alcohol test report came back negative. Will I be convicted despite that?
Please answer me. It is urgent.

Can we legally claim unpaid dues for food supplies based on emails and invoices? 0
Hello,
We have an agreement with a company to supply food for their buffet on a daily basis, with invoices to be issued monthly and payment to be made every three months.
The relationship actually lasted for nine months, and payment was made for two periods. In the third period, due to disagreements between our company and the company to which the supply was made, they refused to pay, noting that the outstanding amount so far is fifty-four thousand dirhams.
Can we claim the amount, noting that the agreement is not written, but there are emails exchanged between us and invoices?

Is there a way out or a possibility that the authorities don't deport me and instead give me a time period to leave the UAE on my own after I have completed my imprisonment and paid the fine?
