Q: Hi, I invested AED 75,000 with a company that intended a takeover of CCTV installation, and the company is located in DAFZA with 4 partners. They made me sign an internal contract which wasn't signed by all the partners and I never got a copy of the same signed by all 4 partners. I kept chasing them for the same as well as for MOA from DAFZA and name change on Trade Licence but got only excuses. Finally, after 3 months of chasing them, they informed me that they don't intend to take over the company and wanted to divert my funds elsewhere. I refused and asked for a refund. They gave me a fraud cheque that got bounced due to the unauthorized signatory. I filed a police complaint, after which the authorized signatory was summoned by police. Later the signatory contacted me and wanted to settle it in 4 PDCs across 3 months but on a condition that I return him the fraud cheque which is the only proof I have proving his fraud intentions. Kindly advise if his demand for the return of fraud cheque is valid?

Q: Hello Sir, I have been falsely accused by a company who has filed a complaint against me for a cheque I haven't signed. I am not able to travel because of this. How do I resolve it? Please advise.

Q: Dear Sir, Is it a legal requirement that all purchase orders and agreements should be signed off by the GM/CEO based on the POA provided by the Shareholders and notarized by the Courts? Would it be legally binding where the PO is signed by any other employee of the company who has been authorised through a shareholder resolution (but not notarized by the Court)?

Q: I would like to ask a question. If there is a company with limited liability between three partners, can any of the partners remove any employee from the company, such as the director of managers, the implementation manager, the director of the hall, any other manager or any other employee without the consent of the other partners?

Q: I have been appointed as a POA holder on behalf of my boss/owner of my company to act on his behalf. He told us that he would help us in all financial aid from USA (where he is residing) and we just need to run the operations here in the UAE. However, it's been quite a while where we have not received any support/financial assistance from him and there are a lot of unpaid bills pending here. I would like to know if I cancel my POA, can I get away with this mess or will I still be liable to pay and be penalized?

س: وكّلت شخصًا لينوب عني بالتنازل عن قضية نفقة. ذهب هو ووكل محامي ينوب عنه وتنازل عن القضية وكنت قد أبلغته بعدها ألا يتنازل بدون أن ألغي الوكالة. مرت سنة على التنازل، هل أستطيع أن أرفع قضية خيانة أمانة ضده؟

س: السلام عليكم، تم التعاقد مع أحد الشركات على أداء خدمة وتقاعست الشركة عن أداء التزامها. مذكور في العقد شرط تحكيم يُلزمنا عند نشوء أي نزاع قانوني أن نلجأ إلى مركز دبي الدولي للتحكيم DIAC. مع الاتفاق على تعيين 3 محكمين وتطبيق قانون التحكيم الإماراتي 6 لسنة 2018. فوجئت عند التقدم بطلب التحكيم أن المركز يُلزِمني بتطبيق قانون التحكيم الخاص بالمركز وهو الذي قد يعرضني مستقبلاً لبطلان حكم التحكيم خاصة أنه تم الاتفاق مسبقًا على كافة الشروط. السؤال: ما المخرج لهذه المشكلة حيث أن العقد يُلزمني باللجوء إلى مركز دبي للتحكيم وتطبيق قانون التحكيم الإماراتي؟
