Q: Good evening
One of my friends hit accidentally a school child while reversing the taxi. He checked the child and she was perfectly free from injury.
He did not go to the police as all the people surrounding him told him he can go. This man left there but the child's parents complained to the police and filed a case.
Now this man is in police custody for 2 days. How can I help this man to get out of this problem?

Car sharing in the UAE
1
Q: Carsharing in the UAE + insurance.Our company is setting up a car sharing platform to be launched in Dubai. The concept will make the owners money and enable the hirers to get cheap rental rates.We have learned that it is illegal for private individuals to make money on their car unless they register it as a taxi or similar in RTA. We cannot find the actual law anywhere, and we are wondering why it is illegal?Is there a way to circumvent this issue? For instance by having the owners register their car on our site in a way that would accommodate the RTA requirement? The fines are big for individuals and we don't want any of the customers being fined.In regards to the company, we are also looking for a way to not get fined for facilitating this service. How would we make sure of this? And what would be the insurance requirements in this case?Many thanks in advance!

Traffic accident issue
2
Q: I was looking to seek some legal advice regarding my case. I had a traffic accident that has been referred to the traffic court. No one else was involved or injured just me. My car crashed into a post. I am also fine, my car is not. I was taken to hospital but left of my own accord and went to the police station the next day. There are some other mitigating circumstances but I would rather discuss these privately. Please contact me if you can help. Many thanks.

Missing business partner since 2003. What to do about his share in the LLC? 0
Hello,
I am a manager of an LLC company with 25% share. In February 2003, a partner joined the company with a 25% share.
After two months, he didn’t like the company and left. After two years, we did not know where he was. We just heard that he left to Tunisia before his visa expired.
What to do with his 25% share, please?

My company has filed a case against a client for failure to pay and bounced cheque. How to follow up? 0
Hello.
My company has filed a case against a client for failure to pay and a bounced cheque. The client's company is registered as a virtual office in the Creative City Free Zone in Fujairah, so our case is filed there.
The client basically purchased some equipment from us, and his payment via bank transfer did not go through and was rejected. Then, when we deposited his security cheque after multiple attempts to contact and no answer, the cheque bounced.
The company is under his wife's name, and we have filed a case on the same.
The court has accepted our application, however, they have instructed the execution bureau to get the Emirates ID of this authorised signatory. The bureau is asking us to get it, and we have no way to do so, unfortunately.
Without the Emirates ID, the court cannot freeze the bank accounts or put a travel ban, etc.
What are our options here?
