3
Q: Hi Sir,
I am a partner and I have a partner visa in one of the courier companies in Dubai. Currently, I stay outside Dubai in a GCC country, I hold a 25% share in the company.
We are 4 partners; 2 inside Dubai and 2 outside. The company was established in 2019; it has been 1 year now and the partners in Dubai are showing a big loss.
They took a loan from some investors without our concern and they have a big credit from the customers. They utilized the customers' money.
Now, I need to get out of this mess as I was not involved and they were not sharing any updated records.
Both Dubai partners are MD in the Memo. I am afraid to come to Dubai as they have asked me to leave my share after paying the loss they have to some other investors.
I am afraid to come to Dubai to discuss as the company sponsor is in touch with them.
They can put me in trouble in order to get my share.
Please advise!

The liability of a partner for the labor dues of an employee
0
Q: I’m a 50% shareholder and director in an FZ-LLC company in Dubai Development Authority. One of our employees made an unpaid salary case against us and won it in court. We have appealed the decision.
My partner, the owner of the remaining 50% and a local has his name as the general manager of the company on the license. Since our company is not in a financial position to pay these dues, I want to understand what my maximum liability will be.
A quick reading online shows that the court can place travel bans on the general manager and hold him personally liable. Does the liability extend to me as well?
Are there any other liabilities?

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?

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.

Is it obligatory to issue an invoice for my customer to process his down payment? 0
Hello sir,
Is it obligatory to issue an invoice for my customer to process his down payment?
Our system doesn't allow us to issue an invoice unless the goods exist in our inventory. We also require this advance or down payment as confirmation of his order.
My customer is insisting on issuing him an invoice and says that this is required by UAE laws.

I sent the landlord a notice to renew the lease 90 days earlier as per the contract. Can I change my mind if he didn't respond? 0
I live in Dubai and I have a one-year rental contract with my landlord. According to the agreement, I must tell the landlord at least 90 days before the contract ends whether I want to renew it or leave.
I followed the rule and sent them an email before the 90-day deadline, saying that I want to renew. They replied and said okay, and they asked me to send the new contract so they could sign it.
I prepared the new contract (with the rent price fixed according to RERA rules) and sent it to them about two weeks ago. But since then, they haven’t replied or signed the contract.
I think maybe they are waiting to see if someone else will offer more money to rent the apartment, so they are delaying their response.
Now I am wondering: if they finally send back the signed contract after a long delay—let’s say in one more week—and by that time I’ve changed my mind (for example, I found a better apartment or I’m leaving the country), am I legally required to continue with this landlord?
