Q: Is it possible to withdraw a suit and then file the same suit again just by increasing the money? In other words, After withdrawing the case I once filed, can I file a complaint with the same case? (The only difference between the two is that the litigation value increased).

Q: Dear Lawyer, A company in Jebel Ali filed a case of fraud at Police station. The company asked me to pay a certain amount after adjusting against my final dues. I paid and cleared. Later on, they started blackmailing me by asking me to pay the legal costs incurred by the company. Then I complained to the Ministry of Labor saying that my passport is held by the employer. Now the Police station has transferred the case to the public prosecutor along with my passport on 10th of April. I need to know how long will it take for the hearing to happen (waiting for the call from the Dubai Court) and secondly can the employer withdraw the case when it is with public prosecution? If yes how? Please advise. Regards, Francis

Q: I filed criminal charges of fraud against a Dubai resident in 2018 through a UK debt collector. The debt collector told me the criminal case had not been accepted, and so did the defendant. The debt collector may have filed a civil case. The defendant promised to pay me back and pressured me into withdrawing the civil case. I agreed and signed a waiver to withdraw the civil case. He sent me the waiver to get notarized. I live in the UK. However, I now suspect that the criminal case may have actually been accepted after all (without my knowing) and that the defendant tricked me into waiving my criminal and civil rights so that the court would be lenient. What can I do now? I would never have signed the waiver had I known the criminal case had been accepted. I presume I cannot file the same charges again? I have evidence in whatsapp chat of him saying there was no criminal case accepted.

Q: Hello, We have been scammed by an individual who did not provide the stated service. They took a lot of money and important documents. I have audio recordings of him talking about these things. We had a bad lawyer in Iraq who stole property by forging documents. This man said he had many connections to help us. While it was true that he had connections, he didn’t actually help us. Instead, he cooperated with the bad lawyer, agreed with him, and gave the bad lawyer all our important documents.
