Amending the parties of a claim to include the real owners of the property

1
Q: I won a real estate case last year and I'm at the final stage of execution against an LLC which has just little assets.
Today, I learnt that this LLC has never been the owner of my ex-property as incorrectly written in my SPA. Instead, all the properties of that project, including the land, belong to 2 individuals who are the real owners as named on the title deed that all buyers received after having paid the 4% of registration.
I would like to know how can I redirect my case towards those persons who still have a lot of assets in the building?

Transferring the liabilities of a purchased property to the real owner
0
Q: Good evening,
I would like to ask if it's possible to transfer all the financial claims and the case itself to the landlord who used my name to own and manage a flat.
I have an RDC case under my name because of the fault of my cousin
She asked me to use my name for her to own a flat and before that she promised me that no problem will arise.
But she just used me and now I'm the one facing all the financial claims payment, travel ban and bring the port against him.
How can I transfer this case under her name? Is it possible Sir?

If the Public Prosecution appeals a not-guilty verdict with no new evidence, will it stay the same? 0
Hi Sir,
My husband had a judgment where he was found not guilty, as the misdemeanor court stated that it doubts the charges against the accused and found no conclusive evidence except the statements in the report files.
The court considered this invalid because there was no translator. After this, if the Public Prosecution appeals, will the verdict remain unchanged and be upheld if there is nothing more than this
Can you shed some light from your experience on this issue and say if the result will remain the same?

How to clear name and go back if you left the UAE with an unpaid personal loan? 0
My brother had a personal loan of 300k.
He lost his job, and the company terminated him, and his visa was cancelled, so he moved back home in 2015. He is trying to find a job back in the UAE.
Is there any way to get him cleaned, paying the court fine?
The bank he had a loan with has been merged with other groups, and he doesn't know who to contact.
Repayment is impossible without a job, and finding a job at the age of 50 is not an easy task.
Appreciate your advice.
Thanks

كيف يمكنني الاستعلام عن قضية إبعاد أمني ومحاولة العودة إلى الإمارات؟ 0
السلام عليكم،
أود الاستفسار بشأن قضية إبعاد زوج خالتي من دولة الإمارات العربية المتحدة. زوج خالتي كان مقيماً في الإمارات وكان قد وُلد وترعرع هناك.
في عام 2013 تم إبعاده من الإمارات، وكان ذلك نتيجة لسياسات حكومية كانت تستهدف مجموعة من المقيمين في تلك الفترة، وهو لم يكن قد ارتكب أي مخالفة في ذلك الوقت وكان يُعتبر ضحية للسياسات المتبعة.
أرغب في معرفة الإجراءات التي يجب أن أتبعها حالياً من أجل رفع هذا الإبعاد وتمكينه من العودة إلى الإمارات.
أرجو أن توضح لي كيف يمكنني مساعدته في هذا الموضوع.
شكراً جزيلاً.

Mold in apartment due to construction fault: Can I get compensation? 1

I rent an apartment. After two days in the apartment, water started leaking from the ceiling.

The building manager has started work, but the apartment is no longer habitable.

Is the RERA Index Calculator the sole source for determining rent increases? 2
Dear Sir/Madam,
I reside in a Dubai community, and my tenancy renewal is approximately 95 days away.
The landlord is proposing a 15% rent increase, primarily based on rents listed on propertyfinder.ae, claiming that my current rent is 25% below market rates.
However, the RERA Rental Index indicates "no increase in the rental value" as my rent is at the top of the quoted range, prompting me to reject the proposed increase.
The real estate broker he hired at the time of my move-in recently contacted me, serving as an intermediary, mentioning that he would conduct a DLD valuation, likely resulting in a higher value.
However, he is attempting to negotiate first, considering the cost of around 2500 AED.
If we were to dispute, is the RERA Index Calculator the sole authoritative source for determining rent increases?
Additionally, if the DLD valuation is accepted, what is the potential maximum increase?
