Q: A car is under a car loan from a bank like monthly payment and the person who has taken the car loan goes back to their own country.
Can someone else either pay the remaining money for that car and claim the title of ownership or pay its registration or Mulkiya (ownership) and keep on driving it?
Is it possible or how long will it take for the car to get taken by the bank?

Do you have assets in the UAE? Have you made a will yet? It is highly recommended to register a will soon, otherwise, the drive to asset disbursement can be extensive and expensive. In addition to the option of registering a will in DIFC for Non-Muslim will registration, Abu Dhabi Judicial Department (ADJD) had also introduced a separate office since August 2017, which has made the entire will registration process easier and cost-effective.

Do I have to pay a penalty if terminated after completing my contract period? 0
Sir,
As per my contract period, they mentioned that if I leave the company before 1 year, I have to pay 5000 dirhams. But I have already completed more than 1 year and 3 months.
The company has given me a warning letter saying my work performance is low, and if I continue like this, they will terminate me. They didn't mention any charges, but they mentioned in the letter a top penalty procedure.
So I need to know whether I have to pay them any charges or not.

How can I lift an immigration ban to be able to process my new emplyment visa? 0
Hi Sir,
I am S. and I am facing a one-year labour ban (as per my knowledge, and the same is mentioned in the cancellation paper too).
Now I have a new offer with [-----] company in a free zone, but things were not processed because of this ban. They asked me for the immigration clearance.
How can I clear this?
My previous contract was under a limited term, so even the salary basis is not helping me.
From other sites, I came to know it is possible, but I still have no idea how.
Can you suggest a solution?

Can the school refuse to issue NOC to me after they terminated my employment contract? 0
I am writing to raise a concern regarding the denial of a No Objection Certificate (NOC) by [----] School, Abu Dhabi, where I am currently employed as a Humanities Teacher.
Although the school has officially discontinued my contract effective July 7, 2025, and I have not submitted a resignation, they are now refusing to issue an NOC.
This is preventing me from accepting an opportunity with another charter school and is obstructing my right to secure alternate employment within the sector.
As per my understanding from ADEK and MoHRE guidelines, an NOC cannot be denied when:
- There is no non-compete clause in the contract.
- The employee has not breached any contractual obligations, and
- The termination was employer-initiated without a valid cause.
I kindly request your guidance and support in addressing this issue so I may proceed with my job application process without unnecessary obstruction.
Sincerely,
N.

How can I claim my settlement if the company is inactive but some branches still operate? 0
Hello,
I got a judgment from Dubai Court stating that the employer should do my settlement. It’s been years, but I still haven't received the payment in my account.
When I checked with Al Adheed Center, they said if the company is not active, it’s not possible to get the money.
However, it’s a group of companies, and a few branches are still running. Is there any chance to claim it, or can I appeal directly to the court?
