Q: I filed a police case against an individual who borrowed money from me. I have both his personal cheques and company cheques for the amount.
He got a fine and was released from custody in a criminal case. Can I add his other company cheques that also bounced in the same case?
Also, will he get a prison sentence if I file a complaint on his personal cheques?

Liability of a bounced cheque issuer and recovery of the cheque amount

Q: I am a trader, my clients provide me PDC cheques (post dated).
As per new law if my clients bounce the cheque & I make a case against them, they won't be imprisoned, they would have to pay fine.
What about my payment, how would I recover my bill payments? Will they still be liable to pay my dues? Also, will they be under a travel ban?

إزالة منع من السفر صدر ضد مدير شركة لا يعلم عن أعمالها شيئًا
3
س: سيدي المستشار،
شركة ذات مسؤولية محدودة صدر ضدها حكم من المحكمة بدفع مبلغ من المال لصالح المدعية وذلك لكون الشركة أخلَّت بالتزاماتها في سنة ٢٠١٢ وبعدها في سنة ٢٠٢٠.
تقدمت المدعية بطلب لقاضي التنفيذ لمنع أحد الشركاء في الشركة من السفر وصدر قرار من قاضي التنفيذ بالتعميم على مدير الشركة وهو مواطن إماراتي بمنعه من السفر.
هذا الرجل كبير في السن، عمره ٦٦ سنة ولم يكن يعلم عن الأعمال التي قام بها الشخص الذي تم تعينه في الشركة باعتباره مديرًا بموجب وكالة.
عند تقديم طلبات للقاضي المختص بإزالة منع السفر للمدير في الشركة، القاضي يرفض الطلب.
ما الإجراء الذي يلزم فعله على الرغم من أن الشركة ذات مسؤولية محدودة وأن الشركاء لا يحاسبون بأموالهم الشخصية؟
كما أن الشركة متوقفة عن الأعمال ولم تُجدد رخصتها منذ سنة ٢٠١٢ بسبب الالتزامات ومطالبات الشركاء نظير التعاقدات التي حصلت من قبل الشخص الذي تم تعيينه مديرًا في الشركة بموجب وكالة.
ما العمل والإجراء الذي يمكن اتخاذه؟

Is it possible to request a mutual termination of the contract from the employer?
My employer recently asked me to submit a resignation. Since it's not legal for him to do this and since I don't mind leaving the company for better opportunities, is it legal for me to request a mutual termination of contract letter?

Filing a case for wrongfully encashing a guarantee cheque 1
3 years back I had given a post-dated cheque as a guarantee to a person whom I had to pay the money.
In 3 years time before the due date of the post-dated cheque, I had paid him partially by cash and cheque for which I have his signed vouchers and the PDC cheque details.
He was supposed to return back my PDC on the due date and collect the balance amount that was around AED 4000. The cheque value was AED 115,000.
On the due date, he demanded more money from me and when I refused, he bounced the cheque and filed a cheque bounce case.
He said I gave him a cheque of a closed bank account when he asked the money back and claimed the full amount. I was arrested and had to pay the fine for the cheque bounce case.
With the agreement I have with me and the payment voucher proof, can I sue him back for the false accusation?
And can I claim compensation for spoiling my name and image?
