Q: Good day.
My friend left the UAE last Oct. 2016 for vacation, but unfortunately, he didn't come back because of family matters.
His in-law family says that he cant come back to the UAE because they put some cases against him so that he stays here in the Philippines.
Is there a possibility that he can check it, even he is outside the UAE? He likes to go back to the UAE.

Cancellation of visa after leaving the UAE on emergency
3
Q: Hi,
Greetings,
Ma'am, I am working for a free zone company as a sales executive. Due to my medical condition, I informed my company and had to come on an emergency to my country.
After leaving the country, I met the doctor and he said it will take more than 4 months to recover after physiotherapy sessions.
In the meantime, I called up my company and informed them about my medical condition and told them to cancel the visa, as I don't want to work anymore and instead I want to start a business in the UAE after my recovery.
The main concern now is the company does not want to cancel my visa and also harassing me. They will put on me some kind of legal case.
Please advise, how can I move forward. I want to cancel my visa and start my own business in the UAE.
Thanks and regards

View allTerminating an employee after sick leave and claiming compensation 0
Hello,
My employer fired me under Article 44 for not showing up for work for 7 days in a row. But that’s not the case at all. I was sick and the management was aware and they let me go.
I went to another country to get treatment because it’s expensive in Dubai. My employer did not pay me my salary for the month I worked and fired me.
I have official sick leave from another country and there is correspondence where my employer sent me to another country for treatment.
The problem is that the employer says that he will take compensation for the training that was specified in the contract, but I did not undergo training at all; I immediately started work from the first day of work and there was no training.
Does my employer have the right to charge me such a fee and not pay my salary?

How to cancel the MoU to buy an apartment with the broker if the bank did not approve the loan? 0
Hi,
I have a situation where I signed an MoU and gave my security deposit to the seller's agent. However later, the bank valuation of the property is lower than the selling price.
On my MoU, it has a clause that “the buyer has a right to cancel/negotiate if the bank valuation is not the same as MoU.” I tried to negotiate, however, we didn't agree on the price so I asked to cancel.
Now the agent is threatening me that they will not cancel the MoU and that will deposit my cheque. Later I also came to know that the person I am dealing with is not the same person whose name is mentioned as a broker in the MoU.
The agent I am dealing with is constantly messaging me with threats. I decided not to speak to him and instead, I wrote an email to the broker whose name is mentioned on the MoU but received no response.
I am on a very tight timeline as I need to vacate my apartment in 3 weeks, I found another unit but I don't know if I can pursue this while the initial MoU still not canceled.
Please, I need advice.
