Q: Hi, During my employment with my Company, I had signed a few guarantee for a finance taken by the company amounting to more than AED 100 Million. As I was the signatory to that particular Bank account I was asked to sign the security Cheque. I have resigned 6 months ago and the cheque is still with the bank; will I be held responsible in the event the bank takes legal action if the company does not repay the loan?

Q: I was employed with a company which ran into troubles and stopped paying salaries. I was an authorized signatory and I had endorsed cheques of a third party to a local bank as a signatory. The bank filed a legal case against me, the owner of my company and the person whose cheques they are. It has been 4 months since I resigned, cancelled my power of attorney and mentioned in the resignation to remove my names from all banks. I have moved on and looking for a new job. I have opened a case against my ex-employer for my salaries and gratuity of 7.2 years. I have also placed visa cancellation request and I found out about this case when I was moving to my father's visa. Please advise what I can do, the cheque amount is AED 250k. I need to prove my innocence as I haven't taken the amount nor do I have this kind of amount to pay. I am innocent in simple words. I was just a PA to the owner and was doing my duties while I was there.

Q: I have taken a loan for a company which I was working as an Accountant. Whether I am liable for such a loan for the company? The bank has given the loan in the name of the company and the bank has taken a security cheque from my employer. In such a situation, whether any GCC ban will be there as I have left the country also?

Q: I have my next hearing on November 12, and I am travelling to another country. Can I extend to the 25th of November? Can I know the procedure?

Q: I have a Commercial Rental Case under my name which is currently in execution. Is there any way to re-open or re-consider the case?
