5
Q: Dear Ma'am,
Good day,
I have opened a labour case due to 6-month pending salary & salary deductions for 3 years (2014-15-16). The matter is in court & I am awaiting court dates for the case.
My query is regarding getting new employment visa (not 6 months' temporary work permit) during ongoing court case (heard that due to amendment 766 of the year 2016, this is possible).
I have a new offer at hand, can I request from the court/MOHRE to cancel my visa & issue a new employment visa?
The total claim amount is AED 194K, what are the points should I keep in my mind while the case is ongoing?
Should I hire employment lawyer?
Requesting your positive response.

Claiming entitlements upon resignation for delayed salaries
0
Q: Hello all,
I was working under an unlimited contact on an LLC company for about a year in Abu Dhabi. Since I started working, I haven’t got paid on time.
So after a year, I resigned from the company by emergency resignation whilst I had 2 months' pending salaries.
Now it’s been 49 days since I submitted my resignation and my company is delaying my payments, though my work permit has already been cancelled by them.
So can anyone give some advice to take further actions?
I’m currently staying on my notice period, so is it ok to file a case against them? Will it take longer?

How can I vacate my tenant if the rental agreement ends before the eviction notice deadline? 2
My Dubai tenant's rental agreement is ending by the end of September 2024 and the completion of 12 months of legally served Eviction Notice is the end of December 2024.
I have two questions:
(a) Can I send a rent increase notice 3 months before as the rent has increased as per the RERA rent calculator?
(b) The second question is, do I have to renew the rental agreement for 3 months (until December 2024) or not?
Thank you.

How can I reach a settlement with the bank for a mortgage of a jointly owned property? 0
I have a jointly owned property in Abu Dhabi. The mortgage was defaulted on as I had to leave the property with my children following an assault by my ex-husband. He left the country in 2018 and never paid the mortgage.
As I was in the country, the bank filed a criminal case against me, and I was sentenced to 3 years. I won the appeal against the bank and then filed another criminal case a few months later in Dubai. Again, I won and paid a fine.
In 2019, the bank started a civil case against me and my ex-husband to have the property repossessed. However, at the time of the purchase of the property, there were no Title Deeds, the bank requires this.
I cannot give them the Title Deeds to sell the property and pay back the amount owed to them as my ex-husband refuses to provide a POA. The bank has filed another criminal case against me only for our jointly owned property.
I wish to resolve this and pay off the bank and receive any money left from the sale. How can I resolve this issue of the Title Deeds?

Can a real estate agency hold a percentage of a property sale until transfer is done? 0
A real estate agency has signed an MOU stating that a 10% security deposit from the buyer and the seller will be kept in the real estate agency and will be released upon transferring the property.
The transfer of the property was blocked due to the court order.
According to my colleagues, the real estate agency is not a trustee and they are not allowed to have taken my security check in the first place, is this correct?
