تحمُّل مسؤولية الدفع عند التوقيع نيابة عن المريض
1
س: السلام عليكم،
كان يجب على شخص أن يوقِّع على ورقة، ولكن بسبب وجوده في المستشفى ولظروفه الصحية، وقَّعت أنا بصفتي قريب من الدرجة الأولى نيابة عنه وقد كُتب في الورقة في الأعلى معلومات الشخص الأصيل، اسمه ورقم هويته، وكُتب فوق توقيعي "الموقع نيابة عن المريض وصلة القرابة منه".
هل أتحمل أنا مسؤولية هذه الورقة في حال عدم التزام المريض بالدفع؟
وشكرًا!

How to take legal action against a partner who misused a POA and took over the business?
1
Q: Asalamu Alaikum,
I have a question about one partner who took over all the business and blamed the main partner of the business who started this business with his investment.
The partner lied and used a fake signature to trap him. He threatened him with jail. The main partner gave him a power of attorney in his absence.
But he needs to use it with the approval of his main partner. He has purposefully kept his company in the red for the last eight months.
We need legal assistance in this case to get out of this situation.

Can I charge my friend with breach of trust for not sending money from my property sale?




1
Q: Hello,
I gave an online POA to my friend, who has a UAE residence visa, to sell my property. I gave another online POA to his brother to receive money on my behalf. I do not have a residence visa.
They did not provide me with a copy of the POAs. He sold my property in JLT, and his brother received the money, but they did not send the money to me.
Can I now open a case against them with the charge of "breach of trust" or any other charge that suits this case?
Thanks a lot!

View allTerminating an employee after sick leave and claiming compensation 0
Hello,
My employer fired me under Article 44 for not showing up for work for 7 days in a row. But that’s not the case at all. I was sick and the management was aware and they let me go.
I went to another country to get treatment because it’s expensive in Dubai. My employer did not pay me my salary for the month I worked and fired me.
I have official sick leave from another country and there is correspondence where my employer sent me to another country for treatment.
The problem is that the employer says that he will take compensation for the training that was specified in the contract, but I did not undergo training at all; I immediately started work from the first day of work and there was no training.
Does my employer have the right to charge me such a fee and not pay my salary?

Who is responsible for managing this process?
At the time of the exchange, the broker said he would follow up with the seller and collect the deposit.

How to cancel the MoU to buy an apartment with the broker if the bank did not approve the loan? 0
Hi,
I have a situation where I signed an MoU and gave my security deposit to the seller's agent. However later, the bank valuation of the property is lower than the selling price.
On my MoU, it has a clause that “the buyer has a right to cancel/negotiate if the bank valuation is not the same as MoU.” I tried to negotiate, however, we didn't agree on the price so I asked to cancel.
Now the agent is threatening me that they will not cancel the MoU and that will deposit my cheque. Later I also came to know that the person I am dealing with is not the same person whose name is mentioned as a broker in the MoU.
The agent I am dealing with is constantly messaging me with threats. I decided not to speak to him and instead, I wrote an email to the broker whose name is mentioned on the MoU but received no response.
I am on a very tight timeline as I need to vacate my apartment in 3 weeks, I found another unit but I don't know if I can pursue this while the initial MoU still not canceled.
Please, I need advice.
